This interesting creation is based upon the 488 GTB but has a completely new bodywork.
It’s tempting to think that this is another Ferrari bespoke creation like the SP1 and SP2 speedters, and the C. But it’s not. A third party has transformed what started as a 488 GTB into a tribute of legendary Maranello flagships like the 288 GTO or the F40.
7X Design created the GTO Vision. It is more than a retro-flavored modern prancing horse. The dual winglets at its back are reminiscent of the HTMLXK track beast, while rear bumper and diffuser may remind you of the .
It appears that almost all the exterior panels from the 488 GTB were removed to make way for the carbon fiber bodywork. This will help to keep the weight down. The GTO Vision celebrates past Ferraris, from the F40 engine cover to the 288 GTO-inspired front lights,
This car is a great mix of current and classic models. It also rides on custom-made wheels made for it. The GTO Vision’s bodywork has many “floating” parts that are seamlessly integrated. This shows that this was not just a case of adding custom bumpers to make it look better.
The slanted rear rail slats, which are located just behind the rear wheels on the 288 GTO, are a favorite of ours. While the large rear tires recall the 80s supercar era, we love the slanted rear lip slats. The Ferrari badge on the front is a unique detail. It actually opens the frunk when the horse moves.
7X Design informs that the GTO Vision is not a one-off project. It accepts orders from those who have a 488 GTB, or its successor, F8 Tributo. The custom bodywork will be available for EUR1.35M ($1.52M) but it will set you back a staggering EUR1.8M (about $2.02M). It will cost you more depending on the options you choose. You’ll need to wait six to nine months before you can take delivery of your reworked Ferrari.
