Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 488 GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) will feature Ferrari's new 3902cc V8 turbo that produces a whopping 670PS of power and 760Nm of twisting force.

Its other claim to sportscar greatness is a lap time of 1 minute and 23 seconds at Ferrari's own Fiorano Circuit.
