The Ferrari 488 GTE is a racing variation of the 488. It replaces the 458 GTC. It competes in the IMSA WeatherTech sports car championship in the GTLM category and it also competes in the FIA world endurance championship in the GTE PRO and AM category. The car was revealed in 2015.

Development

Following the launch of the Ferrari 488, a Ferrari spokesperson confirmed that a racing version of the car would be unveiled soon. On 30 August 2015, spy photographs taken at the ACI Vallelunga Circuit showed tests of a highly camouflaged car undergoing testing, with major differences compared to the outgoing 458 GT2. The car was launched at the 2015 Finali Mondiali at the Mugello Circuit, alongside its GT3 counterpart. At the launch, few details of the car were shared, with the engine carrying over from the 488 GTB being the main announcement. The car can shift between LM GTE, and Group GT3 specification.

Ferrari 488 GTE Evo

On 13 November 2017, Ferrari Competizioni GT technical coordinator Ferdinando Cannizzo comfirmed that both the 488 GTE and GT3 would be receiving Evo kits, aimed at improving reliability, as well as aero performance optimization. The 488 GTE Evo had its shakedown test at Ferrari's Fiorano Circuit on 30 March 2018. Following a wind tunnel test at the WindShear facility, the 488 GTE Evo had its front dive-planes removed. Cannizzo suggested that the car could remain in competition until 2021 with a second Evolution, instead of Ferrari developing a new car.
