2016-2019 488 differences

Nothing...other than 2019 seems to be faster in the 1/4 mile...Ferrari seems to have changed the tune a little I’ve read and nothing in 1/4 mile times. Dragtimes showed this and reported it a year or so ago. However there is no documentation on this from Ferrari itself.

 

These 488's were darn near perfect right from the start. Just find the color combo you like and have a ball. The 488's are amazing!

 

I have a 2018 488 Spyder amazing car enjoy. It

I believe early models did not have all options available, so more recent cars may be equipped with things unavailable on older ones.
The infamous HELE (stop / start) was initially possible to deactivate once and for all, while I think on later cars it may be necessary to deactivate it at each start-up.
Most minor changes have probably been implemented on older cars through recalls or software updates.

 

I too am here to find the subtle differences if any.

Currently I have a 2020 EVO AWD and I am thinking about scratching the Ferrari itch with a 2019 GTB to replace my Lambo.

 

My 2016 488GTB's HELE was switched off on the overhead console when i bought it in August and hasn't come on since thank god.. They are brilliant cars and very difficult to find fault in. My advice is to buy a low mileage 2016/17 one owner 488 with full Ferrari SH in your ideal spec and colour rather than paying much more to get a newer one.
One of Ferrari's true greats IMO and very unappreciated due to being in the shadow of the 458. The power, steering, brakes. build quality and damping is in a different league to the older 458.
