, Ferrari's new flagship, mid-engine sportscar, the entry price would start at $350,050. This would imply you'd been a dutiful Ferrari customer for some years, paying your dues through pre-owned models and waiting patiently to earn the prestige of becoming not only a"new Ferrari" customer but one worthy of the coveted 488 Pista.
. Here, you'd learn how to drive the 488 Pista on a track, as it was intended, with instruction from some of the best race car drivers in the world—an exclusive privilege for Ferrari customers.It will be a few years before I'm prepared to join the ranks of Ferrari customers, but I had the rare opportunity to experience this private club from the inside.

, which is a GT race car, so I needed to recalibrate a bit to a street car. But I was prepared for the Pista to exceed my street-car expectations.My first set of laps with Daniel were still in Wet Mode, as the track was still drying. This naturally feels a bit sluggish, as 710 horsepower and semi-slick tires will wreak havoc on wet surfaces. Still, I was able to get a feel for the car and the track, and this session recorded a baseline of telemetry data that Daniel and I could review.
In between sessions, Terry and I reviewed the telemetry data in the form of side-by-side videos of myself and one of the instructors. He was the benchmark, and I could see where my acceleration, braking, shifting and cornering fell short. In particular, I wasn't braking hard enough at the start of the braking zones. So I had to brake harder in the middle, which made it difficult to ease out of the brake—trail braking, as it's called—in preparation for a turn-in point.
