Information about the Ferrari 488
A ride in a Ferrari 488 is the ideal way to experience the true power of an Italian supercar. With a 3.9 litre turbocharged V8 engine and a greater power output than the 458, this model boasts one of the most powerful driving experiences around.
But the Ferrari 488 didn’t just happen by chance, as this model is the latest in the evolution of the revolutionary 458 series. Although Ferrari have been manufacturing cars since the 1940s, in recent years they have built up a reputation for producing some of the fastest cars around.
First launched in 2015, the 488 signifies a huge performance leap as it is the first Ferrari to use forced induction since the F40. If you’re after a high speed ride and want to experience the capabilities of an engine that can make serious power, you’re in the right place.
The evolution of this car and how far this model has come can be seen with its impressive climb from 0-62mph in 3 seconds and a body design that increases down force by 50% to reduce aerodynamic drag. All of these additions sets it apart from the 458 and makes it one of the speediest supercars to date.
Named the supercar of the year in 2015 by Top Gear, a ride in one of these is a must for witnessing the evolution of Ferrari and the capabilities of the modern supercar.

How to Book your drive in a Ferrari 488
Booking a Ferrari 488 driving experience has never been easier. Once you’ve chosen the package you want at a location near you, simply click on the ‘view’ button where you will be given the option to buy a voucher, or shown the current dates, alongside the venues hosting that experience.
The entirety of the booking process can be done via the Trackdays website, where a variety of payment methods are available. If you’re looking to purchase this experience a gift, we’d recommend buying an open voucher for that experience, as it gives the recipient the flexibility of choosing a date that suits them. With 10 months validity from the date of purchase, this can then be easily redeemed online.
Although the process online is straightforward, you can also speak to a member of our customer service team who are more than happy to make the booking over the phone for you. Conveniently, lines are open from 9am-5pm Monday through to Friday and 9am-4pm on Saturday.
Terms and Conditions
All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.
When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.
Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.
Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
