Ferrari has fully unwrapped its 488 GTB supercar ahead of its scheduled debut thatwas set for tomorrow.

The Ferrari 488 GTB opens a new chapter in the 8-cylinder history

The reveal comes after a selection of teaser images and a video dropped on the web, showing the car will have a number of styling changes. These modifications include a large signature air intake scallop which, has been divided by a splitter into two separate sections, wide front spoiler with a double profile, as well as an innovative blown spoiler which generates downforce without increasing drag.

The new Ferrari 488 GTB facelift also sports redesigned circular LED taillights, an aerodynamic underbody which incorporates vortex generators and base bleed side intakes

The interior carries through the exterior sporty theme with plenty of classic Ferrari styling elements, new satellite control clusters, angled air vents and semi-refined instrument panel. There’s also a multifunctional steering wheel, new wraparound seats, and redesigned interface and graphics for the infotainment system.

As suspected, the supercar is fitted with a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine delivering 493 kW at 8000 rpm and 760 Nm at 3000 rpm, which is enough power to allow the seven-speed dual-clutch drivencar to complete the 0-100 kph run in about 3 seconds and 0-200kph in 8.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 330kph.

Gear ratios are claimed to have been programmed to “deliver incredibly progressive acceleration when the driver floors the throttle”, while engineers have perfected the Ferrari 488 GTB’s sound, creating a new soundtrack that is full, clear and totally distinctive despite being hampered by a turbo.

The Ferrari 488 GTB will make its world debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March.
