Used Ferrari 488 for sale

The Ferrari 488 comes with advanced active and passive safety systems. You’ll find multiple airbags, a comprehensive traction and stability control setup, carbon ceramic brakes, and finely tuned suspension to help keep the car stable at speed. A reinforced, immensely strong body shell provides robust support in the event of an accident.

All Ferrari 488 models use a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine. This unit produces 670hp and 760Nm of torque, ensuring rapid performance and smooth power delivery in all conditions.

The 488’s cabin comes with a digital driver display, a central infotainment screen, Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation. Controls are focused on the steering wheel, echoing Ferrari’s F1 cars for intuitive, distraction-free operation.

Official fuel economy for the Ferrari 488 is up to 24.8mpg, with real-world driving often closer to 20mpg. As a high-performance car, it runs on 98 RON super unleaded, and CO₂ emissions sit at 260g/km, putting it in the highest tax band.

Check for a full official Ferrari service history and ensure any recall work has been completed – early cars had a recall for fuel lines. Carefully inspect for accident damage or track use. Tyre, brake and clutch replacements can be expensive, so it's vital to check their current status. For added peace of mind, opt for The AA Vehicle Inspection service.

The 488 is regarded as more reliable than older Ferraris, helped by thorough engineering and the learnings from its predecessor, the 458. As with all premium marque vehicles, a good warranty and specialist servicing are wise courses of action. Be prepared for high maintenance costs and always prioritise cars with official service histories.
