This motor car has either been driven for no more than 6,000 kilometres or is less than six (6) months of age from new. For this reason, the motor car can be considered ‘as new’ for VAT purposes in certain jurisdictions. Please be sure to contact your local tax authorities for confirmation prior to purchase.
Dieses Fahrzeug wurde entweder nicht mehr als 6.000 Kilometer gefahren oder es sind seit Auslieferung des Fahrzeugs ab Werk weniger als sechs (6) Monate vergangen. Daher könnte dieses Fahrzeug in bestimmten Ländern als „neuwertig" im Sinne der Mehrwertsteuerberechnung gelten. Bitte erkundigen Sie sich vor dem Kauf bei Ihren örtlichen Steuerbehörden und lassen Sie sich eine Bestätigung geben.
Influenced by the 488 GTE and 488 Challenge, Ferrari first announced the 488 Pista at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The 488’s engine was upgraded for the Pista with new camshafts, strengthened pistons, a larger intercooler, titanium connecting rods, and Inconel exhaust manifolds from the Challenge combining to generate an astonishing 720 PS at 8,000 rpm. Gear changes were reduced to 30 milliseconds (when in Race mode), and the exterior was radically redesigned to increase downforce over the nose and optimise clean airflow over the rear spoiler. Carbon fibre and Alcantara were used throughout the Pista for weight reduction. Overall, the new model was 90 kilograms lighter than the standard 488, with 20 per cent more downforce.
The 488 Pista Spider was released a few months later at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and surprisingly weighed even less than the fixed-head variant. The Pista Spider is the first open-topped Ferrari-badged road-car to weigh less than its coupé counterpart, and the 50th open model to leave Maranello.
Completed in 2021, this 488 Pista Spider was finished in the beautiful special-order colour of Blu Scozia, over a Blu Sterling leather and Blu Navy Alcantara interior. This well-specified example features several desirable options, including an engine cover, front vents, sills, and front and rear splitters—all finished in carbon fibre—plus carbon ceramic disc brakes. The interior, meanwhile, includes Alcantara carpet and Daytona racing seats. A data plate fixed to the car lists all the selected options.
Having covered just 2,689 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, this 2021 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider is a stunning one-owner-from-new example, finished in a resplendent colour scheme, and with outstanding special-order optional extras.
