On the filed record so far, the 2019 is the cleanest 488 GTB year we hold, and the 2018 the one to check hardest.

Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.
