It looks highly unlikely that we’ll see much of the 458 GTE in 2017 and beyond be it as a customer or factory-blessed entry, with the new turbo-charged 488 GTE now eligible for the WEC’s GTE Am class and GTE in the ELMS going forward.
The 458 GTE did go out with a bang though, after Francois Perrodo, Emmanuelle Collard and Rui Aquas steered AF Corse’s lone 458 to the 2016 FIA WEC GTE Am title and JMW had a highly successful ELMS campaign with three big wins – the team rather cruelly robbed of the ELMS title.
The performances by JMW and AF Corse capped off an incredible run for the car, which has taken wins in the WEC, ILMS, ELMS, WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Petit Le Mans, Sebring, the ALMS and of course Le Mans in recent seasons.
In light of its two major achievements this season, here’s a complete rundown of all its big wins and titles since its 2011 debut:
