Ferrari 488 for Euro Truck Simulator 2
Dropping a 300 km/h Italian supercar into a game built around 40-tonne artics is exactly the kind of left-field idea that makes ETS2 fun, and that’s what this Ferrari 488 delivers. It loads in as a fully drivable car through the in-game mod dealer, so you can park it next to your tractor units without overwriting anything. It is a road toy for blasting between cities, cruising the highway, and grabbing screenshots, not a cargo hauler.
How it drives
With a listed top speed of 300 km/h, the 488 reaches velocities ETS2’s roads were never tuned for, so braking points are everything. Toll gates, roundabouts, and motorway exits arrive far faster than they would in a truck, and quick steering inputs at speed can upset it, so smooth hands keep it planted. The improved physics setup gives it more composure than a basic conversion, and the 8th gear gives a relaxed cruising range for longer runs.
What’s included
Inside you get a detailed cockpit with an HQ UI digital dashboard and a live speed readout, which you’ll lean on heavily given how fast the numbers climb. Exterior lights toggle with the “O” key, the interior lights work at night, the front windows open, and the wipers are properly animated for wet weather. One thing to note: it ships with a custom V12-style engine sound, even though the real 488 runs a twin-turbo V8, so treat that as a modder’s flourish rather than a factory-accurate detail. Access it via Truck Dealers, Access Mod Dealer, and then Ferrari.
Installing it the ETS2 way: drop the .zip into your Euro Truck Simulator 2 mod folder (no unzipping needed) and enable it in the in-game Mod Manager. New to mods? Our ETS2 install guide walks through every step.
🔧 Our Test Notes
Hands-on notes from the CrashMods team
Your whole sense of ETS2 time recalibrates in this thing. Runs that crawl past in a loaded artic collapse into minutes, and we settled into a new rhythm fast: wind it out on the motorway, watch the digital speed readout climb, then brake well before instinct says to, because toll gates, roundabouts, and exits arrive at a 300 km/h pace as if someone moved them closer. Eighth gear made the longer stretches feel like actual cruising rather than a constant sprint, and smooth steering kept it planted whenever we pushed on. It slots in alongside our tractor units without overwriting anything. Rainy night drives were a highlight, with working interior lights and properly animated wipers. One note for the purists: it sings a V12-style tune even though the real 488 runs a twin-turbo V8, so file the soundtrack under artistic license. Tested on ETS2 1.60.
