TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Ferrari Indonesia confirms the release of its latest model, the 488 GTB, at the end of July 2015. This luxurious turbocharged-engine car is the successor of the 458 model.
“We believe that the 488 will sell more than its previous model,” Ferrari Indonesia CEO Arie Christopher said in Jakarta on Thursday, June 25. The 458 and the Italia are the two best selling Ferraris.
Arie claims the 488 GTB engine has different characteristics than its previous model. It has the characteristics of a naturally aspirated engine that is capable of reaching up to 8,000 RPM, when other turbocharged engines are limited to just 6,500-7,000 RPM.
Although they have not been released, Arie claimed 18 Ferrari 488 GTB have been ordered and the demand will continue to increase. After its release, buyers can drive their cars in mid 2016.
Regarding its price, Arie is reluctant to comment because it has not been officially launched. “So it could be a surprise,” Arie said. Generally, Ferrari prices varies due to the orders by customers.
