Ferrari 488 by Mansory
Discussion
I got to see this one on Sunday. Opposite a standard 488.
With all Ferraris through the years it's always been keep it original.
This one looking closely imo, is personal taste but not bad. The quality of the "upgrade" was very good and seamless. Something many speialist upgrades do not have. It obviously is trying to emulate the styling of an FXX. The sound? Well considering you get more noise from a corsa going out of a car park than a 488 (hate the 488 at low revs its awful) this had it sorted. Acceleration up the hill? Yes it's great. It's not everyones cup of tea, but if I was buying a 488 then certain elements of the 488 I would like to see upgraded by mansory. The exhaust would be my first port of call.....standard is s#!t

There are some really bad things on there. Like that silly rear, well, it's not even a wing, and the back in general looks terrible, but some of the things are quite good.
With anything, good looks are in the eye of the beholder.
Having said that, all that carbon, how much weight has it lost? And the cost?
It's about being individual I guess, showing your taste.

Colour choice is one of the biggest factors to how this car is perceived, I like it & would like it more had the car been black which IMO would show of the quality of the carbon as well as emphasise the detail, Mansory do make some nice stuff & some not so nice bits but having seen a 458 Mansory (in Black) in the flesh they seem to be able to do these well.
Remember they're tailored to the individual's taste so they could lose the rear spoiler or change it for a different one.
