This Camouflaged Ferrari 488 Challenge's Glowing Brakes Are Mesmerizing

From Road & Track

The Ferrari 488 GTB may be turbocharged, but its 3.9-liter V8 still screams all the way up to 8000 rpm. And with 661 horsepower on tap, it'll launch to 60 mph in three seconds flat and do the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds. Keep your foot down, and the 488 will keep pulling all the way up to 205 mph.

Needless to say, the 488 GTB is already a ridiculously quick car. Like the 458 Challenge that came before it, the next logical step is for Ferrari to turn it into a race car for its Challenge series. And from what we can tell, that's exactly what you see testing in the video below.

The humongous wing is a new addition, and the car's front end appears to have a much more aggressive aero package. And while it doesn't sound quite as good as the old naturally aspirated 458 Challenge, it still sounds fantastic, but it might be a bit too quiet.

Considering how complete this test car looks, we suspect Ferrari won't make us wait much longer for the official reveal.
