When it comes to enhancing a supercar as iconic as the Ferrari 488 Pista, every detail matters. LOMA Refined understands this need for precision and performance, which is why our latest project—a Ferrari 488 Pista outfitted with our state-of-the-art LF-33RS wheels and a series of performance upgrades—has taken the supercar's capabilities to new heights.
The Perfect Match: LF-33RS Custom Wheels.
The LF-33RS wheels are not just a visual upgrade; they are a technological marvel designed for both aesthetics and aerodynamics. The Ferrari 488 Pista is now equipped with 21×9.0 front wheels wrapped in 255/30/21 Pirelli P Zero tires, and 22×12.0 rear wheels fitted with 335/25/22 Pirelli P Zero tires. These sizes have been meticulously chosen to provide optimal grip and handling at high speeds, ensuring that the Pista remains firmly planted on the road, whether cruising or tearing down the track.
What sets the LF-33RS apart is it's the innovative split-center design, which creates the illusion of the outer rim counter-spinning while in motion. This design not only adds to the visual allure but also resembles the intricate mechanism of a tourbillon watch, a testament to the fusion of engineering and art.
Moreover, the LF-33RS is crafted as a 3-piece wheel, which allows for more customization and enhanced performance. For those seeking a monoblock design, the “R” version offers a 1-piece construction that is equally stunning yet incredibly strong.
Ferrari Performance Tuning Beyond the Ordinary: Stage 2 Upgrade
The Ferrari 488 Pista is renowned for its speed and agility, but we’ve pushed its limits even further. This particular Pista received a Stage 2 performance upgrade, meticulously developed on a dyno in Germany under conditions that simulate high-speed autobahn driving. The results? A breathtaking 847 horsepower—a significant increase of 127 HP from the factory settings—and a monstrous 990 Nm of torque, a gain of over 220 Nm. This was carefully calibrated to stay within safe limits, ensuring the car’s longevity and reliability while delivering unmatched performance.
Our expertise doesn’t stop at engine tuning. We’ve also installed our heat-protected catless downpipes, which not only improve exhaust flow but are also reprogrammed to ensure the O2 sensors operate flawlessly, avoiding any check engine errors. To handle the increased power, a recalibration of the gearbox was essential, ensuring that every ounce of power is effectively transferred to the wheels.
Ferrari 488 Pista Precision Handling: Lowering Springs for Enhanced Stability and a Menacing Stance.
To complement the power upgrades, the Ferrari 488 Pista was lowered by 30 mm (1.2 inches) using custom lowering springs. This modification enhances the car's center of gravity, providing better handling and a more aggressive stance. Importantly, these springs are fully compatible with the factory lifting system, so you don't have to sacrifice practicality for performance.
Conclusion
The Ferrari 488 Pista, already a masterpiece of automotive engineering, has been elevated to an entirely new level with LOMA Refined's LF-33RS custom wheels and comprehensive performance upgrades. This project exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, offering our clients not just a car, but an experience of unparalleled luxury and performance.
