2019 Ferrari 488 Pista Piloti

The 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista Piloti is a rare, track-focused variant of the already extreme 488 Pista, designed exclusively for Ferrari’s most dedicated racing clients. This special edition was created through the Tailor Made program and is inspired by Ferrari’s motorsport success, particularly in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Limited in production and available only to Ferrari’s racing drivers, the Pista Piloti stands out with unique aesthetic touches, enhanced aerodynamics, and an even more aggressive performance profile.

One of the key distinctions of the 488 Pista Piloti is its striking livery, which pays tribute to Ferrari’s WEC dominance. The car features a tricolor racing stripe that runs along the body, mimicking the Italian flag, and a unique racing number on the doors, customizable to reflect the owner's personal history with Ferrari racing. The "PRO" and WEC championship logos, along with carbon-fiber accents, further enhance its motorsport pedigree. Available in four exclusive colors—Rosso Corsa, Blu Tour de France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nürburgring—the Pista Piloti is instantly recognizable as a track-bred machine.

Under the hood, the Pista Piloti retains the 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8, which produces 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. This engine, derived from Ferrari’s racing experience, allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 211 mph. The powertrain is complemented by advanced aerodynamics, including a larger rear diffuser, front S-duct, and F1-inspired air intakes, ensuring maximum downforce and stability at high speeds. The lighter weight—thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber—enhances agility and responsiveness, making it a formidable track weapon.

Inside, the 488 Pista Piloti is stripped down for performance while maintaining Ferrari’s signature luxury. The Alcantara-wrapped interior features carbon-fiber trim, lightweight racing seats, and embroidered Italian flag accents to reinforce its exclusive status. The F1-style steering wheel, complete with Ferrari’s Manettino dial, allows drivers to fine-tune their driving experience. Additionally, each Pista Piloti features a unique plaque identifying the owner’s racing achievements, making every car a bespoke masterpiece tailored to its driver.

With its race-inspired design, extreme performance, and exclusivity, the 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista Piloti is more than just a supercar—it is a celebration of Ferrari’s racing heritage. By limiting ownership to Ferrari’s motorsport clientele, the brand ensures that this model remains one of the most coveted and collectible Ferraris of the modern era. Combining track-proven engineering with bespoke styling, the Pista Piloti is the ultimate expression of Ferrari’s passion for racing and performance. Our example, finished in Nero Daytona and sitting on the even more exclusive carbon wheels, is arguably the most striking combo for the Piloti. Coming to us with under 260 kilometres from one local onwer, this is a Piloti for the most discerning collector.
