Year by year

  1. 2018–2019

    UK Superfasts have essentially the same appearance and specification across these years.17

  2. 2019 (GTS unveiling)

    GTS introduces a folding hardtop and large rear buttresses flanking its roof-storage cover.3

  3. 2020 onward

    Date by build, not registration: GPF Superfasts start in 2020. Every GTS has a GPF; thick pipes identify it under the hood.17

  4. 2021 (Competizione debut)

    Competizione adds a hood blade and blanked rear screen; Competizione A gets a bridge between its rear buttresses.919

  5. 2024

Don’t confuse it with
