Ferrari offers four color options if you are fortunate enough to be included on the short list: Argento Nürnbergring, Nero Daytona and Blu Tour De France. Also, the traditional Rosso Corsa is available. The Piloti Ferrari, regardless of its chosen shade, can be distinguished visually from other 488 Pista models via the “51” number. This is a nod towards AF Corse’s no. 51 was the winning car in 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship with Alessandro Pier Guidi & James Calado.

The special Pista features the same Italian flag motif as the 488 GT race car. It also has a laurel to commemorate Ferrari’s 2017 WEC victory, and the “PRO” lettering that indicates the class the car raced in. S-duct is finished in matte black, the naked carbon fibre rear spoiler and vent surrounds with a similar finish are just a few of the visual changes to the standard Pista.

The cabin has also been updated with new seats made from black Alcantara. They are arranged in a custom perforated configuration, with the Italian flag embedded in their central band. The Tricolore theme from Italy has been applied to the edges of the gearshift paddles as well as the floor mats. These, along with the carpeting were created specifically for the Piloti Ferrari specification and are made from a special technical fabric.

The link between the Pista’s number and AF Corse is found here. The 51 car is found inside, where the number was applied to the base of the steering column. To complete the upgrades, a carbon sill trim is included and an identification plate is added. The Ferrari 488 Pista Ferrari “Piloti Ferrari”, will be displayed at Circuit de la Sarthe, France this weekend.
