27068 The 488 Pista Car Model Building Set | 384 Pcs
Mould King 27068 Ferrari 488 Pista — Track-Born, Street-Legal, and Ferrari's Most Powerful V8 Ever
The name says it all: "Pista" means "track" in Italian. This 384-piece model captures the 488's ultimate evolution — a 720-horsepower track weapon wearing just enough civilization for road use, with an F1-derived S-Duct and the most powerful V8 Ferrari had ever built at the time.
The Real Machine
Debuting at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the 488 Pista pushed Ferrari's twin-turbo V8 to 720 horsepower — the highest output of any Ferrari V8 in history. The 3.9-liter engine gained 59 hp over the standard 488 GTB through racing-derived turbocharger internals and exhaust optimization, while aggressive weight reduction brought the dry mass to just 1,280 kg. The signature innovation was the S-Duct — an aerodynamic channel through the nose derived directly from F1 technology — that increased front downforce by 20%. Ferrari's Dynamic Enhancer system, which uses brake pressure to control lateral dynamics, made the Pista's extraordinary limits more accessible to skilled drivers. Approximately 2,000 were produced between 2018 and 2020, and the car was widely praised as one of the finest driver's Ferraris of the modern era.

The Bottom Line
The Pista represents the 488's final, track-focused form — a 720-horsepower farewell that was widely regarded as one of the greatest driver's Ferraris ever made. For collectors who already have the 488 GTB and F8 Tributo, the Pista completes the modern turbo V8 trilogy.
