This is the kind of car that turns roads into racetracks and gas station stops into paparazzi moments. It’s loud, it’s low, it’s luxe—and it’s so Supercar Blondie.
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2016 Ferrari 488 showing just 1,455 kilometers at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Blue Corsa over a black Nero leather interior, it is offered by Al Tayer Motors in Dubai.
The venerable 488 was one of the most celebrated projects of designer Flavio Manzoni. From the beginning, the car was praised for its confident handling, responsive steering and impressive powertrain. In fact, Ferrari’s mid-mounted “F154” 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 was awarded “International Engine of the Year” by a panel of automotive journalists from around the world for four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019. Its 661-horsepower output (not to mention its mesmerizing sound) are captivating qualities that make for an exhilarating – and perhaps even intoxicating – driving experience.
In May 2016, this stunning Spider was handcrafted in Maranello, Italy to unique specifications both inside and out. The personalization therein spanned over 30 items – with desirable features including adaptive front lighting, carbon fiber aerodynamics equipment, a sport exhaust system, a passenger display, and bespoke exterior and interior finishes throughout.
The car is presented as a single-owner example with unmodified configuration, recent oil service performed and a comprehensive AutoHub inspection with several videos for review. There is magic to be found in driving a high-powered Italian supercar with a retractable roof. The key to unlocking that special feeling is now just a few clicks – and a competitive bid -- away.
