The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider is powered by the most powerful V8 ever mounted on a Ferrari road car, setting a benchmark not only for turbo engines but for all Ferrari V8s, including naturally aspirated units. Its 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 delivers 720 horsepower, making it the most potent engine ever offered in a Ferrari Spider in terms of both overall and specific output.
This engine also represents the largest performance increase over its predecessor, the 488 Spider, combining race-derived technology with precision engineering to create an exhilarating driving experience. Recognized by experts worldwide, it was voted “Engine of the Year” three years in a row, 2016, 2017 and 2018 highlighting its outstanding performance, responsiveness, and engineering excellence.
With such credentials, the 488 Pista Spider’s V8 not only offers breathtaking acceleration and top-end speed but also embodies Ferrari’s commitment to innovation and driving exhilaration in an open-top supercar.
