Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Ferrari 488 GTB is the quicker car,
covering it in 10.24 s at
138.0 mph against the Ferrari California T’s
11.36 s — a margin of
1.11 s. To 60 mph the Ferrari 488 GTB takes
2.58 s and the Ferrari California T
3.21 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
10/11 for the Ferrari 488 GTB,
9/11 for the Ferrari California T —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Ferrari 488 GTB or the Ferrari California T faster?
The Ferrari 488 GTB. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 10.24 s to the Ferrari California T's 11.36 s, a margin of 1.11 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s against 3.21 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Ferrari 488 GTB 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 488 GTB reaches 60 mph in 2.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 10.24 s at 138.0 mph.
What is the Ferrari California T 0-60 time?
The Ferrari California T reaches 60 mph in 3.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 11.36 s at 125.9 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Ferrari 488 GTB trips the lights at 138.0 mph and the Ferrari California T at 125.9 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 10 of 11 for the Ferrari 488 GTB and 9 of 11 for the Ferrari California T. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
