Forty years after the launch of the 308 GTB, the first mid-engined Ferrari built for the road rather than for racing, Ferrari has unveiled the latest model in the line, the 488 GTB.
A replacement for the 458 Italia, it swaps that car's 4.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine for a 4-litre turbocharged V8.

All of this helps the Ferrari 488 GTB accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.0sec and 0-200km/h in 8.3sec, while top speed is 335km/h.
By comparison, the rival McLaren 650S matches the Ferrari's 0-100km/h time, but is 0.1sec slower to 200km/h and has a fractionally lower top speed.
