The Ferrari 488 GTB was already special. But it wasn't speciale — that honor goes to the newest version of Marnanello's super sports car.

The 488 Pista, which will be officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March, is the successor to the 458 Speciale, a car that was an evolution of the 488's predecessor, the 458. The Pista continues a prancing horse tradition of offering customers beefier versions of the base mid-engine machine.

In the Pista's case, another 50 horsepower has been added to the twin-turbo V8 that was developed specifically for the 488 GTB. Total output is now an astounding 711 hp, a massive bump up from the 488's 661 hp.

The Pista has also lost some weight and incorporated technology from Ferrari's extensive on-track experience with the 488, which includes racing in both the US and Europe.
