Ferrari 488GTB - Italian Ground Forces have arrived 

There coming from all angles the end is near the arsenal from the right houses a few predatory forces the all mighty Mclaren an english staple has brought the 720S to production which means pain on the upperside of italy, there brothers of Lamborghini have unleashed the Huracan which plays roles as both upmarket and downmarket for its competitors, than the fury of some new players include the Audi R8 luxury huracan I call it, the Ford GT from across the seas and though some may argue the Japanese are flying in with the NSX which may not have enough gun powder for this fight. 



Don't raise the white flag yet says the Ghost of Enzo, we got some yellow powder to even the playing field, the stuff made of Wonder Woman's sword (it's fun to make things up). 

488GTB - Claim to fame, your not a racetrack driver but you will feel like one in this machine 

Specs: V8TT - 3.9L
SSC2 - Side Slip Control 2 - Provides electronic assistance so your not slipping off the track
Active Aerodynamics - things move on the body when you need better stability 
0-60: 2.8 Seconds Real-time 
Top Speed Limited: 200 MPH 


Speaking of the aerodynamics the Ferrari uses two front spoilers to pass air through and force air down the underbody to create extensive downforce guess what all you warriors with drag fears this changes nothing you can still get up to top speed the Z06 Corvette fears are gone with the aero pains that they were going through with the vehicle. It works with the assistance of vortex generators, the curved appendages make mince meat of air as you increase your top speed.  As most rear mounted engine manufactures the engine is cooled through vents  in the side pockets near your door handles. To make sure the drag is introduced the team uses the old school spoiler to make the magic happen in reducing the drag.

In design is where the Italians come to life if you ever been to Milan you know not to outdress the folks and just be happy to be keeping up. What a beautiful car, the lines tell you what it is there is no second guessing this car for any other brand, the engine note purely invigorates the high pitch tone the dual clutch 7 speed transmission that actually works well on the road. The 488GTB if there is any Ferrari that can be driven daily, and provides the Ferrari look without an exclamation point for attention the 4 does the job elegance in doses.
