2016 Ferrari 488 Spider first drive: Madre, I’m coming home
It looks like a work of modern art -- emotional, poignant, purposeful. You can almost sense the mindset of the engineers who crafted it. It sounds like a classical piece of music. At low revs, a smooth baritone, then higher, like a tenor. It moves like a ballet dancer -- confident, light and precise. It’s the Ferrari 488 Spider. Except for the (admittedly fantastic) seven-speed dual-clutch sequential manual, it’s also the purest open-top driving experience currently offered by the Italians. We think it had a radio, but we never turned it on.A quick aside: Ten years ago, possibly to the day, your Sicilian-American writer was delivering a different sort of Italian specialty from a little boutique cookery called Jet’s Pizza. Today, we’re driving an Italian lightning bolt through the spaghetti-string mountainous country roads of Forli. Bellissima!In Italy the hierarchy is as follows: the Pope, Ferrari and then everybody else. Everywhere we … [Read more...] about 2016 Ferrari 488 Spider first drive: Madre, I’m coming home
2019 Ferrari 488 Pista first drive: Time to go shoe shopping
When first settling into the footwell of the Ferrari 488 Pista, it feels awkward. My feet veer right to reach the pedals and, more importantly, even with my right foot hard pressed against the center tunnel, my throttle foot still snags the corner of the brakes. The pedals are that close to each other. This is clearly my fault. I own and am wearing the wrong shoes. Had I laced up something more minimal, it’d probably be fine. Time to go shoe shopping because a Ferrari, especially this Ferrari, is the kind of car that transcends blame. If something doesn’t feel like a perfect fit, it’s your fault. To be perfectly clear, I wear normal shoes, no bulkier than a running sneaker, size 12. And I’m also not kidding. The 488 Pista delivers such a pure, exhilarating driving experience that I am willing, no, I want to conform to it, not the other way around. You know it at first sight. The 488 Pista at a glance looks just like the GTB, on which it is based. … [Read more...] about 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista first drive: Time to go shoe shopping
2016 Ferrari 488 GTB first drive
What is it?It’s a new Ferrari, and that might be all some people need to know. Only this is a big one, for the brand and for car geeks far and wide. The 2016 488 GTB debuts early in Ferrari’s Brave New Turbo era, with very big shoes to fill.It replaces the frequently acclaimed, much loved 458 Italia, which has been anointed by sundry critics as the best sports car in the world. It follows old-school Ferrari nomenclature -- 488 for the displacement of each cylinder (487.75cc) and GTB for Gran Turismo Berlinetta, which was first used on Ferrari’s first mid-engine V8 (the 308 GTB) when it debuted at the Geneva motor show 40 years ago -- rather than the more recent convention of total displacement combined with some revered locale like Modena, Maranello or Italia.We’ve known it was coming since Geneva this year: the demise of the 458 Italia’s naturally aspirated V8, often dubbed the best anywhere, and the 9,000-rpm howl that … [Read more...] about 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB first drive
