While the color immediately sets it apart from the sea of Rosso Corsa examples, the real story is the original build sheet. This coupe left Maranello with an original MSRP of $353,160, including more than $104,000 in factory options, making it one of the more extensively equipped 488 GTBs on the market today.eBayWhat it's worth right nowAccording to Classic.com market data, the Ferrari 488 GTB has an average sale price of $223,314, with sales ranging from $108,000 to $390,500. Current asking prices on Autotrader Classics range from $220,799 to $374,900, with listed inventory averaging $295,791. Against those figures, this Ferrari's $289,999 asking price is near the upper end of the current market, but it isn't a typical 488 GTB. The rare Grigio Scuro Historic Color, more than $104,000 in factory options, and relatively low mileage all separate it from more common examples. The question is whether buyers will place enough value on that specification to justify the premium. Based on the numbers alone, the asking price is ambitious, but the combination of color, factory equipment, and condition gives it a stronger case than your average 488 GTB.eBayCondition and detailsThis Ferrari features its original paint and is in fantastic condition, with just 18,996 miles. Both a clean title and clean CARFAX and AutoCheck reports show no accident history. Factory specs are where this car distinguishes itself. It was ordered with virtually every major carbon-fiber option Ferrari offered, including Carbon Fiber Goldrake racing seats, a carbon-fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser, engine covers, underdoor covers, door panels, dashboard inserts, center bridge, upper tunnel trim, steering wheel cup, and exterior sill kicks. Additional factory gear includes Scuderia Ferrari shields, the premium Hi-Fi sound system, yellow rev counter, Rosso Ferrari leather dash, Grigio Scuro embroidered headrests, red brake calipers, and a factory fire extinguisher. The seller has also added several upgrades, including polished multi-piece forged HRE S104SC wheels valued at more than $15,000, a lowered suspension, and front-end paint protection film. The listing also notes the car recently received its annual oil and filter service.eBayThe offerMake: FerrariModel: 488 GTBYear: 2016Mileage: 18,996 milesEngine: 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8Power: 661 hpTransmission: Seven-speed dual-clutch automaticDrive type: Rear-wheel driveExterior color: Grigio Scuro (Ferrari Historical Color)Interior color: Black / RedOriginal MSRP: $353,160Factory options: More than $104,000Asking price: $289,999AdvertisementAdvertisementInterested in this 2016 Ferrari 488 GTB? View the listing here.eBayWhat makes the Ferrari 488 GTB uniqueThe 488 GTB was a major turning point for Ferrari. It dropped in 2016 to replace the naturally aspirated 458 Italia as the brand's first mid-engine V8 road car in decades to use turbocharging. While purists doubted the move at first, the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 quickly shut down the critics, racking up multiple International Engine of the Year awards for its instant throttle response, massive power, and nearly zero turbo lag. This model pumps out 661 ponies and 561 pound-feet, blasting from 0 to 60 mph in roughly three seconds while staying totally approachable on the street. Today, it stands out as one of Ferrari's final purely gas-powered, mid-engine berlinettas.eBayMy takeThere are plenty of Ferrari 488 GTBs on the market, but very few with this level of factory specification. More than $104,000 in factory options is substantial by Ferrari standards, and unlike many aftermarket mods, factory carbon-fiber equipment and special-order Historic Colors remain desirable years later. That doesn't automatically make this car worth its asking price. Nearly $290,000 puts it among the more expensive 2016 examples we've seen, so buyers will need to decide how much value they place on its specification versus finding the least expensive 488 GTB they can. If originality, rare colors, and extensive factory options matter, this Ferrari makes a compelling case. If the goal is just to experience Ferrari's brilliant twin-turbo V8, there are less expensive paths into 488 ownership.eBayDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
