It is so fast in fact that it is nipping at the heels of more expensive supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari&#8217;s own F12 Berlinetta. Nevertheless, tuning company Alpha-N Performance believes it can do even better and has previewed its tuning package for the 488.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the extreme 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine of the 488 GTB delivers 662 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. Not satisfied with those atmospheric figures, Alpha-N claims that its tuned version will pump out 779 hp and 634 lb-ft. Notably, Alpha-N reports to have achieved these gains with a simple piggyback tune of the ECU.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gtspiritmedia.com\/gtspirit\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4-696x399.jpg\" alt=\"alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-146218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4-696x399.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4-768x440.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/alpha-n-performance-proposes-a-790-hp-ferrari-488-and-a-680-hp-california-t-photo-gallery_4.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No further details about the specifics of the new &#8216;EVOX module&#8217; have been released but Alpha-N claims it will set customers back just 2999 euros.
