Thinking about getting yourself a low-mileage Ferrari 488 at below market value? Here’s one you can bid on right now.
The only catch is the fact that it’s been damaged, although we don’t know the full extent of it. While the display inside does indicate ‘Airbag system failure’, the front end doesn’t seem to be beyond repair.
It almost looks like the car climbed over a curb at low speed, rather than suffering some type of direct collision with another object.
All speculation aside, here’s what the Copart ad does tell us about the car: It’s a (beautiful) grey 488 GTB, sold by State Farm Insurance. Its estimated retail value is $348,896 and the turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine has just 268 miles (431 km) on it.
Another question mark is raised by the fact that in the Primary Damage box, it says “All Over”, which isn’t something you want to hear, especially on an Italian exotic, or any exotic for that matter.
When it’s not hampered by injuries, the Ferrari 488 GTB is able to send its rear wheels approximately 670 PS (661 HP) and 760 Nm (560 lb-ft) of torque. Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 3 seconds flat, and a sprint to 200 km/h (124 mph) takes 8.3 seconds.
Take it somewhere like the Autobahn, and you might even reach its top speed of just over 330 km/h (205 mph). On top of that, Ferrari says that the 488 can lap the Fiorano track in just 1 min and 23 seconds. Of course, you’d need a perfectly healthy car in order to get anywhere near these numbers, and this here 488 is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
