at Mugello
Ferrari has taken the wraps off the 2016-spec 488 GTE and
488 GT3 racecars at Mugello this weekend during the Finali Mondiali 2015.
After coming out with the turbocharged488 GTB road-going supercar earlier this year,
Ferrari’s motorsport division has introduced two racing derivatives which will
compete starting next year in various series. The 3902cc V8 engine inside the
standard car is rated at 670 PS (493 kW) whereas in the GT3 version develops
550 PS (404 kW). As for the 488 GTE, this one has a larger 3996cc configuration
of the same engine with 485 PS (357 kW).
Both racecars come with a left-hand drive configuration and
benefit from an aluminum chassis along with a safety roll cage made from steel
while at the back there’s an adjustable single profile wing and diffuser.
Speaking to Motorsport.com, Ferrari’s GT and Corse
Clienti racing director Antonello Coletta said the objective is to make 150
cars over a course of four or five years, emphasizing the main difference
between the 488 and the previous 458 is represented by the adoption of a
turbocharged engine while the increased aerodynamic efficiency is also an
important upgrade for the new 488 racecars. Coletta went on to specify the cars
will compete in the most important races in United States and in the FIA World
Endurance Championship.
