Given Ferrari's naming using engine displacement and number of cylinders, shouldn't the 488 GTB be called the 398 GTB because it is a 3.9 litre turbo charged V8?

488 cc per cylinder X 8 = 3.9

Ferrari used to name their old models this way and guess they have gone back to that.

The front of it looks like a badly photoshopped 458... rest of the car, beautiful!

The only thing I find really appealing about it are the wheels. Maybe it'll look better in person, like the LaFerrari.

I still like the 458 over this, although I'm sure that I'll like this more if I give it enough time. Although that oversized side intake may be unforgivable.

Interesting... Can't they just stick to one naming model? Although I guess 488 sounds better than 398. Thanks for the info though
