The Benetton B188 was a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne for the 1988 season, and it stayed in use for the opening rounds of 1989. It was the team's first car without a turbocharged engine, built around the naturally aspirated 3.5 litre Ford DFR V8 after the FIA announced that turbos would be banned. It had a bulkier engine cover, twin air intakes above the sidepods and a reportedly 215 litre fuel tank, the largest on the grid. Thierry Boutsen and Alessandro Nannini drove it to third place in the 1988 Constructors' Championship, with Boutsen fourth in the drivers' standings. The B189 took over once the new Ford engine was ready.
