What is the fuel consumption of the Ferrari 488?
2 Answers
The average urban fuel consumption of the Ferrari 488 is generally over 23L per 100km, while the highway fuel consumption is around 15L. The Ferrari 488 is introduced as follows: Ferrari 488: The Ferrari 488 is a sports supercar under the Ferrari brand, available in multiple versions such as the 488GTB (standard version), 488Spider (convertible version), 488Pista (track version), and 488PistaSpider (track version). Among them, the 488Pista and 488PistaSpider are essentially the same in terms of power, despite some minor differences in details. They are equipped with a 3.9T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 529kW (720PS) and a peak torque of 770N·m. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 2.85 seconds and reach 200km/h in only 8 seconds, with a top speed of 340km/h.
As a Ferrari 488 owner, I frequently monitor fuel consumption data during daily driving. In congested urban areas, frequent stops and starts can cause fuel consumption to soar above 14 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during peak traffic hours. On long highway trips, maintaining a steady cruise speed reduces consumption to around 9-11 liters per 100 km, or even lower with smooth driving. It largely depends on my driving style: standard mode offers decent fuel efficiency, but switching to race mode to experience the 661-horsepower thrill pushes consumption beyond 18 liters per 100 km. Last summer, a round-trip highway joyride to the suburbs with friends averaged just 10 liters per 100 km, while last month's commute in heavy traffic exceeded 15 liters. Gentle acceleration and avoiding sudden bursts can help, as can regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements to maintain engine efficiency. But with such a sports car, fuel economy isn't the priority—the driving exhilaration is what truly lingers.
