On an overall, Ferrari GTB 488 Coupe is considered to be the staggeringly fast sports car with agile handling and stunning looks providing ferocious performance. Some of the advantages of it include amazing handling and superb power with a rocket speed and the exterior looks make it very classy and luxurious.

It is only afforded by the top cream rich group of people and the fuel economy of the car is also a bit expensive but obviously people who can afford the purchase value of the car, can also afford the running value of the car. Lastly the turbocharged engine do give some disappointment to some pursuits.
