Ferrari 488 GT Modificata: Accelerations, Sound & Turbo Flutter Noise!

- I managed to get some clips of Ferrari's new track-only weapon during the Club Competizioni GT, a freshly created club for owners of old Ferrari GT race cars and during which owners of the 488 GT Modificata will be able enjoy their new toy. The 'Modificata' was born with the idea of having a car that shared in all aspects the soul and technologies of both the 488 GT3 and GTE race cars but without all those limits imposed by technical and sporting regulations of the GT3 and GTE class for the BoP (Balance of Performance). The resulting machine is able to produce up to 700hp (instead of the typical 600 of the GT3/GTE) thanks to some components modifications made to the engine and the use of more extreme maps. The car will be built in a very limited number of examples which will be fully customizable by their owners.
Ever since it was unveiled, I've been trying to figure out if there were any obvious differences between the Modificata and the GT3/GTE but unfortunately on the external look I haven't found any. To be precise, the 488 GT Modificata shares the exact same body of the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 so it's technically impossible to distinguish them if they should be simultaneously on the track during the same test day (plus, thanks to the Modificata in this video, you can see it can also feature the additional LEDs lights used for night sessions in endurance racing...).
Of course I focused my attention on its sound in order to spot some differences between the GT3/GTE cars but I must admit it's very difficult to distinguish them if you do not have a trained ear on the first two. The exhaust sound is very very similar, but due to higher turbo pressure the 488 GT Modificata seems to have an extra 'blowing air' note, more typical of the 488 Challenge or 488 road cars. Turbo flutter noise is also slightly louder than 488 GT3/GTE race cars. The thing that I really distinctly noticed is related to gearshifts sound: 488 GT3 typically makes deep 'explosions' on upshifts, 488 GTE sometimes makes very loud bangs, while this Modificata has a very clean noise on upshifts. They are very fast but it's very rare to ear an actual ''pop'', thing that is more evident when releasing the throttle pedal and a loud bang may happen (never heard on GT3/GTE cars).
One last one more thing that might make you recognize the 488 GT Modificata on track is the brutal way it unleashes the power out of slow corners. And the traction control often comes into play.
Luckily this time I was sure it was a Modificata both because some lucky Italian journalists had the opportunity to do some passenger laps during that day (and of course they shared the article or videos on the internet: it.motorsport.com/ferrari/new...
or www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it... ). But also because this car was already at Monza the days before, during the Ferrari Challenge Europe racing weekend, which was full of media and photographers. A friend of mine was kind enough to send me some pictures of the interiors and it seems that all these cars will have a plate on the dashboard (in front of the passenger) stating it's a Modificata and not 'just' a GT3 or GTE.
What do you think?

I wanna be you so bad. Such a lucky soul to go where you go and post what you do. Thanks for the amazing content, I personally watch daily and know many of my buddies that do as well. Keep it up man we all enjoy stuff like this🤙🏼
Do what it takes to do the same......
That turbo sound though.
By the way,your videos are always the best.
Thanks!
@@19Bozzy92 By the way,do you have any videos about Lamborghini Veneno?
Miss the 458 Gt atmospheric sound.
Turbo noises are fun, but overall Ferraris should sound more soulful than this does...
Agreed 1000%
Brb, going to watch old videos of 458 italia from this channel!
That’s a cute sounding turbo flutter lol
That sound gives me goosebumps!
Ferrari love it 😀
Ferrari has one of the most subdued sounds. It sounds like the car is being suffocated 😆 but the turbo flutter is nice
Which is still weird to me, because Ferrari for 100 yrs, has been the opposite of subdued. The FXX on the Enzo platform as one example of many, is much MUCH louder. Times have changed I guess. You can say the same for the C6/C7.R vettes Versus the C8.R. I appreciate the efficiency and technology of new engine platforms but sometimes I just miss the barbaric/guttural sounds
@@solidsnake7167 But the porsches sound insaaaaaane
@@saheel1850 Yeeesss!
Worst sounding GTE car of all time
What a beauty. It looks so planted
I think it sounds amazing tbh
LOL I was trying to figure out whether it was a sim or reality, I needed to see the trees swaying and the camera jitters to conclude its reality. Ah sims went so far
I thought it was ACC footage at first....
Nice channel...keep it uo
Thanks!
Hi and thanks Bozzy 👍 😎
No problem! ;)
So the reason these are so muted, is cuz the exhausts are made to met decibels limits for many tracks all over the world? Still sounds good thou
It sounds muted because its turbo charged, not a soulful NA sound like the Porsche GT3R/RSR, Lambo Super Trofeo, or old 458. 😖
@@HonestDiecast I know that the turbos quiet it down way too much. It has to be the exhaust manifold set up, because the street 488 and Pista have a soulful hum with the proper uncorked exhaust. The 458 GT2/GTE sound better compared to these, of course.
1:49 :3
Excellent superbe !
In person the F430 and 458 were so loud they actually hurt my eardrums. I was surprised at how quiet the 488 was just by slapping on a turbo.
Why are some cars still loud but not others. Even F1 cars are quiet and they rev to what, 15k? (Which is impressive but compared to the insane numbers from the V8 era it's nothing)
It's an interesting question, because I see a lot of people seem to think "turbo" automatically = muted, strangled, suffocated. But there's too many counter-examples for that to be true. My three all-time favorite turbo race cars, the F40 LM, the Sport Quattro S1, and the Sauber C9 are all as loud as anything else on track!
@@daedalus_20v I've always wanted to talk to Yamaha engineers. They know all about sound. They literally tuned the LFA like a musical instrument.
Those prob had less restrictive mufflers and maybe they didnt even had any. The 2017 911 rsr for example had no mufflers and sounded so loud, then 2018 version received mufflers and it didnt sound as loud
@@daedalus_20v Only modern twin scroll turbos. But even then it doesn't seem to be the case, if aftermarket 488 exhausts seem to make the car loud...
@@RS-nq8xk Exactly, it's not due to twin-scroll design if the Novitec 488GTB still sounds like this: th-cam.com/video/iSDS1vT8ksQ/w-d-xo.html It has to be down to exhaust routing and packaging for some kind of performance/efficiency gain on track that just also happens to make the cars super quiet.
Pretty sweet, damn, sounds just like a Corvette c8r, ahhh😱
Waooooo bellísima Ferrari
Ferrari V8 noises, turbo noises and F1 noises? How the heck you going to pull that off? Ferrari engineers: hold my spicy meatballs 😋
🔊⬆️
🔥
I don’t really care that it has a practically identical body to the GT3 Evo, because it looks good, but it is really hard to know what you are looking at.
grande
👍💯 АСС Ferrari !
Aahhh, Turbo in the morning =}...
This car sounds so bad against a 458 Gt3. I hear both in Spa
Yes, the 458 RIPS with eardrum bursting loudness. Same with the F430. When I was at the track and heard the turbo I was shocked at how much quieter it was.
Why couldn't they unleashed their true power in WEC just because of the BOP?
That’s a good question! I think reason for BOP in WEC is to keep the GTE field relatively close together and without BOP one manufacturer would just run away with proceeding. Resulting in the death of the class much quicker than we have slow experience over the last few year since arguably the peak in 2017/2018.
@@francoisg3500 Racing is about to make the fastest car. Bop is the stupidiest thing ever made. Better one dominant car than everybody with the same performance. Brands has no reason to make a good car.
BoP inside the class, BoP in comparison to other classes (like LMP2 etc), longer races where higher power output could increase chances of an engine failure and things like that
@@marquesdeportago1596 Watch F1 then.
@@marquesdeportago1596 bop is fine, I want to see drivers race each other. F1 is basically the world's most expensive parade. Other than the start, the only time cars are side by side is when Mercedes is lapping Williams, Hass et al.
I remember building this car out of Lego lol
Ferrari being Ferrari... you could just get a GT3, new or used, and use it privately if you're after a GT3 without BoP.
Où est ce ?
If you can't tell the difference how do you know? :D
I’m proud to be a Porsche fan. Even alone the car says nothing.
Why does it sound so quiet
So is it just those AF cars in Europe and the 1 American car that exist?
Ferrari seems to be a little lazy in making their racecars look different. :) Unlike Porsche where you can see obvious differences between a cup, gt3 or rsr.
I think I managed to find some very small differences between the various 488 racecars.
The 2021 488 GTE doesn't have those "slats" (openings) in the front fender to release the hot air. On the GTE the fender is completely closed.
On the GTE the diffuser has 2 horizontal strips on the bottom in the middle part, the GT3 and Modif. have all vertical lines.
Also the exhaust has a vertical strip on the GTE and Modificata, but not on the GT3.
So
GT3 no vertical strip and slats
GTE with vertical strip and no slats, different diffuser
Modif. with vertical strip and slats
btw: I'm releasing a 488 GTE video tomorrow. :) Pure coincidence.
Can't wait to see the video, my friend ;)
As for your analysis, it's absolutely correct. The only problem is that in 2019 it happened to me to see a GT3 with that vertical element in the exhaust. It was during a 24h Series race at Mugello in which GTE cars are not allowed. But except for that occasion, yes I've never seen that exhaust's vertical element on any GT3s, so in theory GT3 2020 body + vertical strip = Modificata.
Last year I managed to write an article in order to put in comparison all the aesthetic differences of the 488 GTE and GT3 cars, showing also what was introduced with the 2018 Evo kits on both cars. I should complete it by also adding what was new with the Evo 2020 package on the GT3s and talk about this Modificata, but I'm always short on time to take care of that website.. If you want to have a look at the article, here's the link: www.themarbles.it/2020/06/ferrari-488-gt3-488-gte-the-fraternal-twins/
@@19Bozzy92 I've seen that article last year. :)
Very interesting and some great photography.
.... in Monza circuit is better .
much better ...
So basically they finally get sick of being limited, and went full GRANDE MACHINA with these thing
700 HP, on a GTE chassis, is No. Fucking. Joke
Edit: Oops. Its apparently ran on the GT3Evo 2020 chassis. My bad.
The GT3 and GTE chassis are almost identical. You can switch a GT3 to GTE and vice versa with changing only the regulation relevant parts, which includes engine (even though it is technically the same), electronics and some aero bits. This "GT Modificata" is ultimately just a regular car with the intent to (and support for) being sold to private customers instead of teams.
This is what the normal GT3 should be like as well, porco dio!!! It’s unacceptable that the race car makes 100HP less than the road one.
With more aggressive aero, the lower horsepower figures are a moot point. GT3 cars are faster than the road-going ones in terms of lap times.
Edit: I also forgot to mention weight reduction and BoP. They still play a part.
Extremely wealthy dudes do no drive their Ferrari on the streets ,because they are only track cars.
Turbos were a mistake
HAHA when Ferrari win SPA 24 Hours this year you know why...
3rd
Sounds like it doesn’t even rev over 6k 👎👎
Literally the most redundant racecar ever. You could just buy a GT3/E and do the same thing the Modificata does, then enter the car in WEC/GTWC or any other series the two GT Cars participate in.
„you could just buy the gte and do the same things as modificata and enter the car in wec“. How are you going to do that you genius? This car is literally a 488 gte evo without the engine detune. Literally the only reason gte engine is detuned is to make it be able to compete under wec regulations. This is just a rich mans toy to have fun in the track with a 488 gte that is not limited by the bop that gte class requires. If you remove the detune from the gte to „make it like the modificata“ that car will no longer be able to compete in any racing series. What the hell is your point?
@@timothyscherer9163 So? Doesn't disprove his point. All a series cares for is compliance with the homologation and technical regs. Whether the car had been modified or not is irrelevant so long that is the case. All this "Modificata" comes down to is a different ECU programming.
@@JMartinni yes. The dude says turn it into a modificata and then enter it to wec in his last sentence, at least thats how i understood it. How are you gonna do that in modificata spec??
Felicidades por tu Ferrari 488y muchísimas suerte 💪
@@timothyscherer9163 Uh, not what I was saying. I'm saying you could literally do track day free runs with either GT Car Ferrari offers, and also take them legit racing if you want. You could also remove the limiters on the engines for both too, and since they come with manuals for racing series, you could put it back to the way it was after your free runs and take them racing. The GT Modificata is quite literally just a cash grab at that point.
👎 More silence
Weak sound.. A step down
