The Ferrari F40: A Turbocharged Icon
Forced induction is not entirely new to Ferrari, and if I remember correctly, the last mid-engine V8 with two turbochargers out of Maranello wasn't too bad at all. They called it the F40, an iconic Ferrari road car and turbocharging never did this car any harm. The 2.9-liter V8 twin-turbo in this car has slightly specialized absolutely defines what this thing is all about.
We know that for a car to match the breathtaking response of the special RA from the airport, it needs to epitomize all concealing here and when this car is on track, extra room like many a cord is ready more power than it did back in the day. In the combination of placing new balls now on I'm much more than 11 is unbelievable as a fact that it comes in one six hi I just adds to it it really does.
This is old-school turbocharging, and just watching the F40 when it hits boost Dario Franchitti de bois contributor and I think you did a bit of racing anyway these are driving in their pool - Greg is like playing music Lynch sometimes it feels like we're trying to play several all at once. Matalin car with instantaneous response the drama of the F40 asking too much of the 4A8 night-night let's bite now shall we.
Our first taste of the 488 GTB is, of course, in Italy on the roads we know so well around the factory sadly our video guru Sam Riley was suddenly taken ill just prior to our flight don't worry he's still alive I know this because he's been moaning about the quality of our Italian footage ever since.
So let's talk about pure performance first. Is this a speciality absolutely yes despite pegging the torque in the lower gears there's a sensation that you've been pushed along by the huge way is familiar actually from the McLaren 60 for all responses cleaner and the turbo seem to work over a wire operated with those are really good turbo motor mapping individual torque maps for gears one, two, three and then four, five, six, and seven sound weird meals surprisingly natural and it's a loud Ferrari.
To keep nice short gearing create good traction and allows you to build that the power delivering so feels like building up to eight thousand pink power out. Let's talk about other stuff on this car the chassis this has got the new side slip control angle to know about a little bit Charlie effectively it sets the car a target silly if a group whistles brilliant it says the car is a target slip angle then it manipulates the EDF ESC to hit that target but what's here with this car it also uses the magnetic dampers so if you go beyond that target you're to sideways in effect it will stiffen up the front dampers soften off the rears to give you more stability to get you back to that target to make the car easier to drive in the optimum balance all the time in CTF mode which is when you really get to feel it for the road for these empties or fantasy roads and if you turn everything off it's still working not working the brakes just work in the Edith dampers to keep you as much as you want to be on this perfect sleep back.
On these amazing roads this beautiful day how we feel of how the 488 GTB well it's hard to criticize the right is super supple really composed the engine is light in the throttle response for a turbo fantastic the gearbox so fast so precise okay there's a little more understanding yet in a special are a on those couple two tires still make this coal do stuff they just can't do in its rival cars so in that respect it is amazing. Just special a goose bumps but what about the noise Ferrari went to great lengths to create a true supercar soundtrack for this car and in the press presentation we were shown any number of unfathomable Soundwave analysis charts out in the wild noises well overall final rush from six to eight thousand rpm has a bit of F40 craziness about it when the turbos whistle demonically the sharpness and purity of the old 4.5-liter V8 is for the most part absent this or a hurricane's v10 eight and a half thousand rpm I'm afraid there's no contest although I know especially Allah is that strict Oh special normally with Ferrari each generation is wrapped up so much that doesn't matter and it is wrapped up eats so much quicker this car but there's just something a little about precision and lira absolute playfulness has been lost this car is magic just not quite as magic as especially are they I love to do when they bring out the lightweight for more videos like this don't forget to subscribe to the Evo channel.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso this is it the four a8 GT be the start of a new chapter for Ferrari embracing downsizing and forced induction for its mid-engined v8 supercars the 488 has a 3.9 liter v8 with two twin-scroll IHI turbo chargers power is up nearly 100 horsepower over the 458 Italia to 661 at 8000 rpm and torque has left from 398 foot-pounds to up to 560 the numbers are borderline rubycles naught 62 in 3 seconds dead the real killer walked 124 miles an hour in 8.3 I tell you what though this car has some legacy to live up to shallow is this the four five eight special honor now in theory the for a a lace is the Italia but I one born Italian wants this thing arrived absolutely Oh and you already know how amazing this car is manages to meld itself every input the driver make and somehow feels agile and manic almost but also joyously precise this the normally aspirated me I ended it absolutely Rahl respects in the stem makes this car so spectacular to drive when you're just driving and enjoying the response and the noise when you're pushing to the limit and you need to be at the meter on the power with a point accuracy so special this drivetrain is just so much but precision on a delivery that just will and tasting the things going to explode I've no doubt before I ain't gonna be faster than this the sheer excitement of this and of course forced
