Coming Soon
488 CT
Open-top performance, rewritten.
Drive Imagination.
The Concept
Track-Bred Violence. Open-Top Freedom.
The 488 CT rewrites the rulebook of open-top performance. By seamlessly blending the unapologetic, track-bred violence of a true Challenge race car with the absolute freedom of an open-top Spider, the 488 CT stands alone.
It is a road car designed from the outset to deliver an immersive, unfiltered and visceral experience, while retaining the deep elegance and luxury of a high-end Grand Tourer. At its core, the 488 CT exists to do one thing, Drive Imagination.
It is a dual-personality masterpiece, a dominant track weapon when pushed and an incredibly classy, high-society cruiser when the roof drops. Every curve, vent and mechanical calibration has been guided by visual authenticity, lightweight engineering and a commitment to creating the most captivating open-top driving experience on earth.
Engineering
Built Without Compromise
COACHWORK & AERO
The 488 CT is a striking visual statement. An aggressive, track-validated aero package transforms the donor car's silhouette into a wide-body motorsport icon.
Lightweight structural composites blend with exposed carbon fibre, while the front splitter, optimised cooling ducts and dominant rear diffuser are all dictated by performance. Centre-locking wheels with single-nut hubs ground its racing pedigree.
CHASSIS & DYNAMICS
To put this power down, the 488 CT uses our premier, championship-winning chassis architecture.
Developed with Öhlins, its digital TTX dampers, the same world-class setup as the Talos XXT and Porsche 911 RT, adjust on the fly to stay flat through corners yet compliant over rough roads. Custom Brembo discs and rotors keep pace with the CT's performance, bringing braking right up to date.
ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN
At its heart sits an incredibly potent, twin-turbocharged V8, tuned by Talos engineers to unlock a monstrous new level of performance.
The ultra-fast 7-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission has been recalibrated with a bespoke software tune for sharper, more aggressive shifts. Power delivery feels relentlessly progressive, so the connection between driver, throttle and tarmac is always absolute.
