Model history:
Making its debut in 1995, the Ferrari F355 Challenge was designed specifically for use in the Ferrari Challenge series. The earliest F355 Challenges were road cars modified by official dealers using a conversion kit from the Ferrari factory, just like the earlier 348 Challenge. Each car was powered by a 380 horsepower, 3.5-litre V-8 engine, coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. With each passing year, Challenge cars were supplied from the factory with an increasing number of performance components, reducing the amount of conversion work required by dealers. By 1998, Ferrari took the decision to build all Challenge cars in- house, and all subsequent F355 Challenges were built at the Maranello factory.
But for the real racers, the Challenge car was not enough! As it was fully based on the road car, it was neither competitive enough for international racing series, nor was it homologated for anything else than the Ferrari Challenge series.
Before the 355 model, racing teams were able to purchase the 348 GT/ Competizione or even the ultra rare 348 GT/LM, both built by Michelotto in Padua for Ferrari. These models were fully homologated for international racing and especially the GT/LMs proved to be competitive cars, even at the 24h of Le Mans! But when the F355 came out, Ferrari (and Michelotto) were too busy building and developing the Ferrari 333SP as well as the racing versions of the F40, the F40 LM and the upgraded F40 GTE, so there was capacity to build a upgraded version of the F355 Challenge. Cristiano Michelotto also confirmed us in a recent conversation, that they very early started to work on the Ferrari 360 GT and N/GT, so the F355 was simply left out!
But Italy would not be Italy, if there were not some motorsport enthusiasts who simply wanted more, that brings us to our car …
Specific history of this car:
Among the racing teams who wanted a bit more out of the F355 model range than a Challenge version, was the Italian company Supertech of Franco Scapini and his father. Franco Scapini was a successful racing driver who even made it up to Formula 1 as a test driver and raced at the 24 hours of Le Mans in a Lancia LC2 and a Spice SE88. Scapini almost retired from racing in 1991, but a friend of his father convinced him to race in the 1997 Italian Ferrari Challenge with a brand new Ferrari F355 Challenge from the Ferrari dealership in Modena, where he finished several times on the podium. The problem was that Scapini Junior was pretty bored of these Challenge cars, they were just too slow for him. In a recent article he confesses „I did it for my father“. So the idea was born to start a new project, the Ferrari F355 GT3 by Supertech. Soon, the „Le Mans blu“ colored F355 Challenge with chassis number ZFFPR41B000104675 was completely stripped in Scapini Seniors workshop, which was an official Ferrari service point for over 30 years. Every component was checked for potential improvements. Scapini: We reconstructed everything: suspension, engine, chassis and body parts. We did everything ourselves and in the workshop at my father’s in Gallarate (VA). The car, in the end, came out really well, a real racing tool. I had done it the way I wanted and meant it.“ The car is now lighter, has an upgraded aero kit, completely revised suspension and brakes, a proper racing clutch and an engine which was good for 430hp at 9.200rpm. After a lot of testing and improving, it was time to race the car.
The car was raced successfully by Franco Scapini, both in Europe as well as the USA. The original log book that comes with the car documents the European races in France, Italy and Spain. Scapini won the GT3 class in the Italian GT championship in Misano in 1999. He also had a crazy race in the rain in Dijon that year that he remembers well: „ Next appointment, Magny Cours. With Andrea Garbagnati unavailable due to work commitments, I crew with Stefano Bucci. We arrive at Magny Cours and it’s raining, among other things I have a fever. We do the tests, everything’s OK. We qualify the car each a practice session for the respective races on Sunday: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Stefano starts in race 1 wet, goes dry, SC several times, had started 12th in class and got there…. Race 2 I start with fever, but I climb well, it’s wet, it’s not hot and this helps me. I engage in a tough battle with a Porsche in front of me. At the wheel, while I was trying to do my best, I was asking myself “who drives so fast on water?”…. In GT races there are so many of you that you don’t know who is at the wheel at that moment, then between the spray and the clouds of water you could hardly see anything. Eh nothing, at the end of the race I find out that it was Jean Pierre Jarier!!! Anyway, I retired about halfway through the race because a water hose burst when I was 8th overall and 2nd GT3. It was wet, but the car was running even though it was quite difficult to drive. Very extreme!“
Next up was the greater challenge – to race at the famous 24 hours of Daytona!
In 1999 Scapini teamed up with Pierangelo Masselli, Marco de Iturbe, Gianluca de Lorenzi and Gianni Biava to run the car under the sponsorship of Ferrari of Central Florida. After a long race they finished in 32nd position overall and 12th in class.
In 2000 the car was again entered at the 24 hours of Daytona, this time driven by Franco Scapini, ex-F1 driver Ivan Capelli, Pierangelo Masselli and Erich Prinoth under the banner of Franco Scapini Motorsport. Unfortunately they did not finish the race due to electrical problems.
In 2001 Scapini sold the car and it was once more entered at the 24 hours of Daytona under the team name Mastercar SRL. The car was driven by Anton Smekalkin, Eric van de Vyver, Christian Morini and Sergey Krylov.
Today the car is presented as it raced in 2000. The old roll bar has been carefully replaced with a new one to make the car eligible for historic racing. The engine has been overhauled just recently and the car has been serviced. Today the car is highly eligible for historic racing as the Peter Auto Series, Masters Series, historic Daytona 24, the Challenge and GT days as well the the German Ferrari Club racing series only to mention a few.
With the car comes a very comprehensive history file that includes the old Italian registration documents, the original vehicle log book as well as some nice period articles and photos.

For Sale – 1999 Ferrari 360 N-GT
Ferrari 360 N-GT Details an more pictures HERE at ClassicDriver
Ferrari 360 N-GT s/n 119339, a Euro model 360 Challenge prepared in early 2000 to N-GT specifications to campaign in the European FIA GTR championship race series.
This car raced on 16th April, 2000 at the FIA GT Championship, round # 3 at Monza, for 500 kms, with race # 61, and driven by ex-F1 driver Ivan Capelli and Erich Prinroth, finishing 10th in class.
Later the car was entered in the 2001 24 H of Daytona with racing number #30 (dns) and remained in USA until 2020, when discovered and imported back to Europe.
At the time of the find the car had a provocative blue/orange Gulf Livery and when the car arrived in Europe the original snow flakes Dolomiti Superski livery has been finally re-made.
Today 360 Challenge s/n 119339 is eligible for a multitude of track events for retired Challenge cars such as a low-cost entry to Ferrari’s new Club Competizioni GT series or, for those more serious, the SCCA U.S. Majors Tour, billed by the SCCA as the pinnacle of championship road racing in North America, the SCCA’s GT-X class, specifically for older Challenge and GT3 cars or the SCCA’s ITX (Improved Touring unlimited) as well as any HSR or NASA weekend, the Daytona Classic of four one-hour races, the Sebring classic with three one-hour races, the Spring Classic at Laguna Seca and a multitude of other track events.
The instrument readout is functional and clearly readable. The roll cage padding and the inner carbon fiber door panels are all in generally good condition. Overall the car presents as an example of track-appropriate car, with no evidence of damage to the body or interior features, often found in cars with long competition histories. Under the hood, the innovative 360 V8 displays excellent castings, correct factory housings and original equipment. The condition of the engine compartment is generally very good, appearing clean and properly preserved.
As one might expect sitting behind the wheel, getting ready to go on track is an adrenaline inducing experience. The engine erupts to a strong idle and revs freely. The 3.6 liter V8 gives remarkable acceleration with astonishing shift points, incredible traction and great braking, making for a car with substantial capability, even in the hands of lesser experienced race car drivers. While certainly a highly responsive car with 175 mph plus speed and legendary agility, once a few laps have passed, the car becomes a genuine delight, pushing you to test the next level of your driving skills. A highly event eligible, factory-built racecar with extensively honed specifications based on Ferraris many decades of GT victories, the Ferrari 360 Challenge is a wallet-friendly entry into Ferrari GT Racing and is, for the first-time club racer, a serious factory built and sorted competition machine with no lack of parts available and with the mechanics to support them at any level.

The 1990s witnessed the welcome return of Production-derived GT cars to top line competition, with old sparring partners such as Ferrari and Porsche renewing hostilities in the new-for-1994 BPR Global GT series and its successor, the FIA GT Championship. However, increasing speeds and budgets led to the launch in 2006 of the FIA GT3 European Championship; this providing a competitive arena–and, crucially, a robust regulatory framework–for cars homologated with a more cost-conscious specification than the incumbent GT1 and GT2 machinery.
Several manufacturers were moved to develop cars for the new series, including Ferrari, Aston Martin and Audi. The former’s partner team, Kessel Racing, promptly homologated a GT3 upgrade package for the existing F430 Challenge model; modifications centring around an enlarged 4.5-litre V8 engine–affording a power increase from 490 to some 550 horsepower–and heavily revised aerodynamics and bodywork. Results were impressive, with the F430 GT3 of Hector Lester and Allen Simonsen winning the series’ inaugural race at Silverstone in 2006, and the Kessel Racing-run car of Henri Moser and Gilles Vannelet securing the Championship in 2007.
Just 54 F430 Challenge cars were converted to F430 GT3 specification by Kessel Racing, with this chassis, 159322, being delivered to the Belgian Scuderia Monza team. The team’s primary focus for 2008 and beyond was to be Belcar–the Belgian GT Championship in all but name–although the car made its race debut at August’s Zolder 24 Hours race. Driven by brothers Frank, Hans and Kurt Thiers, and veteran long-distance specialist Guy Van Mol, the car qualified 11th, prior to finishing a creditable 12th overall and sixth in class in the race.
Following a retirement in September’s Belcar round at Spa-Francorchamps, 159322’s third and final outing of the year saw a return to Zolder for the Belcar round supporting the FIA GT Championship. The 27-car entry boasted four F430 GT3s, although the two-part race was dominated by the Mosler MT900Rs. However, the team’s season ended on a high note, with Frank and Hans Thiers finishing the second race in fifth position; the pair beaten only by three Moslers and the sister F430 GT3 of Vincent Vosse and Eddy Renard.
For 2009, Scuderia Monza redoubled their Belcar efforts, with Frank and Hans Thiers driving 159322 exclusively. Although their opposition had increased notably over the Winter–with cars such as the Audi R8 GT3 and Aston Martin DBRS9 making their Series debuts–the season started strongly for the pair, with third- and seventh-placed finishes in the opening round at Zolder in April. A disappointing double retirement at Spa-Francorchamps in May was redressed somewhat by two further visits to the circuit that year; the June round yielding a ninth and sixth, while July saw the Thiers record an eighth and a sixth-placed finish. The season concluded at Zolder in October, in which the brothers finished seventh and eighth in the first and second races respectively.
In 2010, 159322 was returned to Kessel Racing for a further upgrade to Scuderia GT3 specification; the modifications being principally aerodynamic in nature. Duly renumbered 159322-SC21 to reflect its newly updated status, the car was one of just 25 chassis to receive such modification, and one of only seven updated that year.
Over the Winter, the Belcar Series had abandoned its “double header” format in favour of a single, longer race; the first round of the 2010 season, held at Zolder in April, being three hours in length. Having qualified only 13th, Frank and Hans Thiers drove a measured race to finish seventh overall, while at Spa in July they finished a fine fifth behind the likes of GT regulars Anthony Kumpen, Steven Kane and Bert Longin. The only other notable result of the year for the brothers was in the 125-minute season finale at Zolder, in which they finished ninth.
A partial Belcar campaign for Scuderia Monza in 2011 saw “SC21” contest only four races; the year commencing in challenging fashion with retirement in both early season rounds at Zolder. However, the three-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps in June saw a welcome change in fortune–and a superb GT3B class win–although Zolder once again proved to be the team’s bogey track, with the year concluding with a further enforced retirement in October’s season-closing round.
It is believed that the car remained in the care of the Thiers brothers until its acquisition by legendary Ferrari specialists Toni Auto of Maranello in 2017. Located barely 200 metres from the fabled Ferrari factory gates on the Via Abetone Inferiore, the company’s association with their illustrious neighbours stretches back to the early 1950s, with founder Franco Toni’s employment in Ferrari’s Race Department. Appropriately, Sig. Toni was seconded to Belgian Ferrari importers Garage Francorchamps for two years in 1954, making the involvement of his grandsons–the present proprietors of the business–with “SC21”, more than 60 years later, all the more poignant.
Acquired from Toni Auto by the vendor in 2022, but expertly maintained by them ever since, the car has been used only sparingly in the present ownership–and exclusively in non-competitive Club Competizione GT events, including most recently at the 2024 Finali Mondiali at Imola. Significantly, its ECU records cumulative chassis mileage of a relatively modest 16,730 kilometres from new, while the engine has covered just 5,000 kilometres since its most recent rebuild–with a further unexpired “life” of some 20,000 kilometres remaining. Additionally, the car’s gearbox, clutch, driveshafts and suspension are all listed as having covered just 1,500 kilometres since either rebuild or replacement.
Immaculately prepared–and fresh from its involvement in Ferrari’s Finali Mondi celebrations at Imola, “SC21” remains a highly significant example of this most versatile of Ferrari Competition GT cars; additionally representing an attractive and cost effective entry into the numerous Historic GT and Sports Prototype series for which it is eligible.

For sale – 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC
2008 Ferrari F430 EVO GTC
EX-AF CORSE
Chassis No 2628
Details HERE at Classic Driver
Model history:
The Ferrari F430 shared its aluminum chassis with the 360 that preceded it, but its Pininfarina-penned styling charted a new course for Maranello. The F430 channeled Ferrari’s past designs with taillights from the Enzo, Testarossa-like side mirrors that stretched out from its A-pillars, and ducts integrated into its sides and front fascia akin to 1960s Formula 1 cars. Pininfarina’s Frank Stephenson is credited with the F430’s striking design.
Though its styling was eye-catching, the F430’s big newsmaker at its debut at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show was under its glass engine cover. The F430 marked the first use of Ferrari’s new dual overhead camshaft, 32-valve V-8 engine, codenamed F136 E. The 90-degree V-8 was co-developed with Maserati, but Maranello’s version got its own 180-degree flat-plane crankshaft. Chain-driven camshafts replaced rubber belts in the automaker’s previous eight-cylinder. The new, modern V-8 was the first clean-sheet design for Ferrari in about half a century. The new engine sent its approximately 490 hp to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or the automaker’s six-speed F1 gearbox.
It did not take long for Ferrari to take the wraps off a GT2 racing version of the F430. Developed with longtime racing partner Michelotto Automobili, the F430 GTC was eligible for American Le Mans Series racing, the Le Mans Series, the FIA GT Championship, and even the 24 Hours of Le Mans!
The F430 GTC made use of a downsized 4.0-liter version of the new V-8 in order to comply with FIA rules. The F430 GTC’s engine was rated at 470 hp, but its impressive power-to-weight ratio meant it was significantly faster than the 550-hp F430 GT3. A six-speed sequential-shift transmission put power to the wheels in rapid fashion.
The F430 GTC featured a big rear wing with an integrated Gurney flap to enhance the design’s already impressive downforce plus carbon fiber body panels to reduce weight. Race cars rode on 18-inch center-lock lightweight wheels wrapped in Michelin racing slicks rather than the 19-inch wheels with Pirelli tires on street cars. While the road-going F430 debuted adjustable dampers could be tweaked via a knob on its steering wheel, the F430 GTC’s suspension retained garage-only adjustment. Noting the difference between the street F430 and the F430 GTC during a test at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah in 2012, Road & Track wrote that the two Ferraris “are like shades of red: in a similar family, yes, but totally different.”
The F430 GTC got off to a strong start by winning the FIA GT2 Manufacturers’ Cup and Drivers’ title in 2006 and 2007, the ALMS GT2 Manufacturers’ Title in 2007, and it won the GT2 class at Le Mans in 2008. Ultimately, the F430 GTC made Ferrari a dominant force in GT racing nad it is believed that only approximately 53 examples were built in total.
Specific history of this car:
The featured car, chassis 2628 was sold new to the Piacenza based team AF Corse of Amato Ferrari, who until today runs all the Ferrari Works cars in the WEC championship. The full list of entries is given in the picture section, but here is a quick overview:
The car was first entered in April 2008 in Monza under the name of the team Megadrive with the two famous Italian GT drivers Marco Cioci and Piergiuseppe Perazzini. Cioci was a Ferrari GT Works driver from 2011 until 2014, while Perazzini won the Italian GT championship in 2003 and 2004 and later drove sucessfully for AF Corse at races as the 24h of Le Mans and Sebring.
In 2009 Megadrive went on with many podium finihes all over Europe (see list). At the end of the 2009 season the team Megadrive finished 5th overall, while Cioci and Perazzini finished the championship 6th position.
For the 2010 season the car was entered under the starting number 5 by team AF Corse in the Italian GT championship, again driven by Cioci and Perazzini.
After its active, professional racing career the car was sold by AF Corse to an amateur racer and collector. The car was then mainly used for club racing or track days within Europe. The car will now be sold with a very interesting and valuable spares package as well as period documentation. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a well raced Ferrari racing car with many podium finishes that is also eligible for the Ferrari Club Competizioni GT, the Masters series of the Peter Auto series only to mention a few.

All informations and more pictures HERE at Classic Driver
We are delighted to offer this ex-Trottet Racing 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 EVO #2634 for sale.
The Ferrari 430 GTC was introduced in 2006 to replace the 360 GTC and to race in GT2 class in the FIA GT Championship, the American Le Mans Series and the Le Mans 24 Hours. Over the next 5 years, it became Ferraris most successful GT racing car of the late 2000s, both in Europe and the USA, taking multiple GT2 Drivers & Manufacturers titles, plus GT2 class victory and podiums at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Developed in partnership by Corse Clienti and Michelotto Automobili, the 430 GTC was derived from the excellent F430 Berlinetta road car, whilst the cars 90 degree 4-litre V8 produced 450 bhp and was mated to a Hewland manual sequential gearbox and proved most reliable. Only 53 cars were produced in total from 2006 to 2011, with just 24 of these being the later and rare Evoluzione Evo cars. The Evo upgrades included refinements in aerodynamics, suspension, and weight reduction to improve race performance. These changes were more about improving speed and efficiency than altering the car’s physical dimensions.
Our car, with VIN ending on #2634, has an impressive track record and won the 2009 International Open GT Championship with Team Trottet Racing and Swiss drivers Marcel Fssler and Jol Camathias. Between 2008 and 2009, this striking F430 achieved nine pole positions, five times runner-up and twice third place on the podium (detailed race results can be found in the history section below). During this 2-year period, the car was always perfectly maintained by the Trottet racing team in collaboration with Michelotto (invoices available) who also installed the latest developments to acfhieve its 2009 Championship winning ambitions. Since its birth, #2634 has never been badly crashed, is full matching numbers retaining its original body/chassis, engine (077) and gearbox (060), and looks stunning in its striking 2009 Bull fire breathing livery.
At the end of the 2009 season, Trottet Racing stopped its activities and #2634 was sold to a private collector who displayed the car for several years at the Muse de lAutomobile in Monaco. In 2018 it was bought by French historic racer Florent Jean who only used the car sparingly. At the beginning of 2024, the car was bought by its current owner who had the car fully recommissioned for the 2024 season by renown preparer Pastorelli Classic Cars. Since then, #2634 has competed successfully in Peter Autos ERL2 race series where it has shown to be a reliable and front running car. Now offered for sale in 100% race-ready condition with technical passport, two spare sets of wheels and laptop with management software.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Championship winning, original and matching numbers Ferrari 430 GTC EVO which would sit proudly in any discerning Ferrari collection while also being eligible to race in Peter Autos Endurance Racing Legends, Masters Endurance Legends and Ferraris Club Competizione GT program where it would continue to be a welcome and competitive entry. … For more information please visit www.rmd.be.

The international racing history can be retrieved via the following – HERE
About the model:
When the Ferrari 458 GT3 was introduced in 2011, it replaced the F430 GT3, which had won more than 80 class championships from 2006 to 2013. Similar to its predecessor, it was designed from the ground up as a racing vehicle and constructed in association with Michelotto Automobili, the factory-backed company behind the creation of the F40 and 288 GTO as well as many other racing Ferraris.
If anything the 458 GT3 proved even more successful than its predecessor and notably took no less than six victories in the 24 hours of Spa as well as Pro-Am victories in the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
A custom-built 4.5-liter V-8 engine designed for motorsports powers the vehicle; only the engine block is shared with the 458 Italia road car. At 9,000 rpm, it generates 550 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque when the GT3 specification restrictors are fitted, and over 600 horsepower when they are not. Power is directed through a six-speed sequential race gearbox (Hewland MLS) equipped with paddle shift. The entire transmission weighs just 66 kg and, like the rest of the car, is an exercise in weight saving; With almost all carbon fiber construction, the bodywork boasts a race-optimized aerodynamic package that includes a massive rear wing, a diffuser at the back, and a splitter up front.
#3212 today:
The car was recently been repainted in its original Rosso Corsa color and equipped with a Vbox light data-logging and video system, a passenger seat, and Multimatic DSSV three-way adjustable dampers.
It also has the advantage of having been meticulously maintained by marque expects FF Corse of Silverstone, who have made sure the car is in excellent condition and prepared for racing by its new owner.
This stunning example of an Ferrari 458 GT3 is presented in a pristine condition and is ready to be sent back into active racing or as the ultimate track day tool by its next owner.

- Claimed overall victory in the prestigious 24 Hours of Spa in 2021
- Supplied new to semi-Works racing team AF Corse in partnership with the Iron Lynx squad
- Raced by Alessandro Pier Guidi, Côme Ledogar, and Nicklas Nielsen to the 2021 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup Drivers’ championship title
- Steered Iron Lynx to second in the 2021 GTWC Europe Endurance Cup Teams’ table
Italian team Iron Lynx, in partnership with the legendary AF Corse outfit, entered two factory-supported Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo race cars in the 2021 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, the premier GT3 series organised by the SRO Motorsports Group. The #51 car offered here, chassis number 4606, was campaigned by Works driver Alessandro Pier Guidi and Nicklas Nielsen. Both of whom count three FIA World Endurance Championship LMGTE class titles and are overall winners aboard the Ferrari 499P Hypercar prototype in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They were partnered by 2016 GTWCE Endurance Cup champion Côme Ledogar.
Chassis 4606 made its season debut in the jewel in the calendar: the 24 Hours of Spa. A subdued effort in qualifying, falling 0.943 seconds off the pace, left the #51 machine to line up 13th. The Ferrari expertly recovered to lead the field before the chasing WRT Audi gambled on a late pitstop in the final hour. With dark grey clouds looming overhead, the R8 LMS stopped for wet tyres in anticipation of rain. The gamble paid off handsomely to overthrow the Works AF Corse-Iron Lynx Ferrari.
However, a safety car was called into action when rivals skidded off the course in the slippery conditions. With Pier Guidi behind the wheel, a blockbuster sprint to the line ensued. The Italian carved into the Audi’s lead before sweeping around the outside of Blanchimont corner to nab 1st with just 10 minutes remaining. He then romped to the spoils by four seconds to seal Ferrari’s first win in the event since 2004. With double points on offer for the famed enduro, the Iron Lynx crew vaulted to the top of the Drivers’ championship standings.
Pier Guidi, Nielsen, and Ledogar chalked 7th place at the Nürburgring and repeated that feat at Barcelona to round out the Endurance Cup schedule. Those two results proved suffice for the #51 crew to seal the Drivers’ title by a slender four points, as Iron Lynx finished runner-up to its chief challenger at Spa, WRT, by just a single point in the Teams’ table.
The Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo has been with Iron Lynx subsequently and officially became part of The Tailored For Speed Collection in 2023. It is presented in its satin black #51 livery from the championship- and 24 Hours of Spa-winning 2021 season. Should the next owner wish to add to chassis 4606’s storied competition history, it remains eligible for a variety of GT3 racing series and the official Ferrari Club Competizioni GT. Bidders are encouraged to validate the dates of the safety equipment and get it mechanically serviced prior to campaigning the car.
This Ferrari is currently fitted with one of its racing engines, yet the powerplant that propelled the car to victory in the 24 Hours of Spa has been located. Interested parties should speak to an RM Sotheby’s representative about acquiring this separately.

Der Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo
Der Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 ist das Ergebnis des Bestrebens von Ferrari, bestimmte Aspekte eines der erfolgreichsten Autos in der Geschichte der Marke weiter zu verfeinern. Erreicht wurde dies durch innovative Konzepte, die aus den Erfahrungen auf der Rennstrecke und dem Feedback der Teams, die mit dem 488 GT3 antreten, abgeleitet wurden. Aerodynamik, Fahrzeugdynamik, Ergonomie, Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit standen im Mittelpunkt der Entwicklung, natürlich unter Einhaltung der strengen Leistungs- und Aerodynamik-Grenzwerte des FIA-Reglements. Am Motor, einem V8-Doppelturbomotor mit einem 90-Grad-Winkel zwischen den Zylinderbänken, wurden keine Leistungssteigerungen oder Bauteiländerungen vorgenommen; er verfügt jedoch über ein neues Motormanagementsystem, das eine höhere Zuverlässigkeit und eine sanftere, präzisere Drehmomentabgabe ermöglicht. Auch die Fahrzeugelektronik wurde verbessert (einschließlich ABS und Traktionskontrolle). Im 488 GT3 Evo 2020 debütiert ein neuer Sitz, der in Zusammenarbeit mit Sabelt für den GT3 und den GTE entwickelt wurde. Dieser Sitz entspricht den neuen FIA-Sicherheitsvorschriften und ist nicht nur steifer und robuster, sondern auch 2,4 kg leichter. Die Gurte wurden mit neuen Riemen und einer neuen Schnalle ausgestattet. Das zusätzliche 24H/Endurance-Paket wurde speziell für Kunden entwickelt, die sich für Langstreckenrennen interessieren. Zur Grundausstattung gehören eine Frontstoßstange mit Zusatzscheinwerfern, Schnellkupplungen für Motoröl und Kühlmittel sowie eine Kohlefaserkupplung, Bremssättel aus dem GTE und Stahlradmuttern. Auf Wunsch sind Kühlmittelstandssensoren und Kraftstofffüllsensoren mit Warnleuchten sowie LED-Hauptscheinwerfer mit 4.500 Lumen erhältlich. Die aerodynamische Überarbeitung umfasste auch andere Teile der Front des 488 GT3, wie die Lüftungsöffnungen oben auf dem Flügel, die im Vergleich zum Vorgängermodell vergrößert wurden. Die hinteren Teile wurden komplett neu gestaltet, ebenso wie der vordere Teil der Tür, der sich nun stärker verjüngt, um die seitliche Strömung besser zu kanalisieren. Die Einführung des 488 GT3 Evo 2020 ermöglichte auch die Optimierung der Fahrdynamik, eine der Hauptstärken des 488 GT3. Zu den Änderungen gehört ein längerer Radstand, der nun mit dem des 488 GTE identisch ist. Ziel war es, die Reifennutzung zu optimieren, den Reifenverschleiß zu reduzieren und die Umstellung von GT3 auf GTE zu erleichtern. Die neuen Komponenten und Verbesserungen, die in der Version 2020 des 488 GT3 Evo eingeführt werden, sind auch als Upgrade-Kits für bestehende Fahrzeuge erhältlich. Die Erfolgsbilanz des 488 GT3 Evo ist beeindruckend. Seit seiner Einführung im Jahr 2016 und der jüngsten Evolution im Jahr 2020 hat das Modell 107 Meisterschaften, 407 gewonnene Rennen und 770 internationale Starts vorzuweisen. Diese bemerkenswerten Zahlen sind ein eindrucksvoller Beleg für die überragende Leistungsfähigkeit und Wettbewerbsstärke dieses exquisiten Rennwagens.
Der hier angebotene Ferrari 488 GT3 in der Evolution-Spezifikation wurde im Jahr 2016 an das Renn Team HubAuto Racing ausgeliefert und wurde in den folgenden Jahren von diesem erfolgreich eingesetzt. Die detaillierte Auflistung der Renneinsätze finden Sie weiter unten im Text. Im Jahr 2020 wurde der Wagen durch Ferrari mit dem EVO Paket versehen, allerdings aufgrund der Corona Pandemie nicht mehr im Rennbetrieb bewegt. Mit einer extrem geringen Laufleistung auf sämtlichen Komponenten, sowie einer umfangreichen Ausstattung in Form von Reifendrucküberwachungssystem, Trinksystem, Klimaanlage und Langstreckenbremsen ist dieser Wagen umgehend einsatzbereit. Der aktuelle Motor hat eine Laufleistung von 7.352 KM, während das Getriebe 4.157 KM zurückgelegt hat.

_____________________________________________________________________The Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo
The new 488 GT3 Evo 2020 is the result of Ferrari’s endeavour to further refine certain aspects of one of the most successful cars in the brand’s history. This has been achieved through innovative concepts derived from on-track experience and feedback from the teams competing with the 488 GT3. Aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics, ergonomics, safety and reliability were at the centre of development, naturally in compliance with the strict performance and aerodynamic limits of the FIA regulations. The engine, a twin-turbo V8 with a 90-degree angle between the cylinder banks, has not undergone any performance enhancements or component changes; however, it has a new engine management system that enables greater reliability and smoother, more precise torque delivery. The car’s electronics have also been improved (including ABS and traction control). The 488 GT3 Evo 2020 debuts a new seat developed in collaboration with Sabelt for the GT3 and GTE. This seat complies with the new FIA safety regulations and is not only stiffer and more robust, but also 2.4kg lighter. The harnesses have been fitted with new straps and a new buckle. The additional 24H/Endurance package has been specially developed for customers interested in endurance racing. The standard equipment includes a front bumper with additional headlights, quick-release couplings for engine oil and coolant as well as a carbon fibre clutch, brake callipers from the GTE and steel wheel nuts. Coolant level sensors and fuel level sensors with warning lights as well as LED main headlights with 4,500 lumens are available on request. The aerodynamic redesign also included other parts of the front of the 488 GT3, such as the air vents at the top of the wing, which have been enlarged compared to the previous model. The rear parts have been completely redesigned, as has the front part of the door, which is now more tapered to better channel the lateral airflow. The introduction of the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 also made it possible to optimise the driving dynamics, one of the main strengths of the 488 GT3. The changes include a longer wheelbase, which is now identical to that of the 488 GTE. The aim was to optimise tyre usage, reduce tyre wear and make the transition from GT3 to GTE easier. The new components and improvements introduced in the 2020 version of the 488 GT3 Evo are also available as upgrade kits for existing cars. The 488 GT3 Evo’s track record is impressive. Since its launch in 2016 and the latest evolution in 2020, the model has won 107 championships, 407 races and 770 international starts. These remarkable figures are impressive proof of the outstanding performance and competitive strength of this exquisite racing car.
The Ferrari 488 GT3 offered here in the Evolution specification was delivered to the racing team HubAuto Racing in 2016 and was successfully used by them in the following years. You can find a detailed list of the racing entries further down in the text. In 2020, the car was fitted with the EVO package by Ferrari, but no longer raced due to the coronavirus pandemic. With an extremely low mileage on all components, as well as extensive equipment in the form of a tyre pressure monitoring system, hydration system, air conditioning and long-distance brakes, this car is ready for immediate use. The current engine has a mileage of 7,352 KM, while the gearbox has covered 4,157 KM.

Offered Without Reserve
- Supplied new to double European Le Mans Series class champion team Iron Lynx
- Three-time entrant in the 24 Hours of Le Mans; finished on the podium with a 3rd-in-class result in 2021
- Contested the ELMS over three seasons, achieving four class victories en route to winning the LMGTE category Drivers’ and Teams’ championship titles in 2021
- Scored 5th in class in the 2022 edition of the 1000 Miles of Sebring
The Ferrari 488 GTE, which is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V-8 engine, was introduced for the 2016 endurance racing season. It swiftly snapped up a brace of World Endurance Championship GTE Manufacturers’ titles. To remain competitive amid a grid that was populated by the Ford GT, Porsche 911 RSR, and Aston Martin Vantage, Ferrari then introduced the enhanced Evo package that chiefly revised the car’s aerodynamics.
Offered here is chassis number 3858, which was delivered new to Italian race team Iron Lynx. The car made its competition debut in the 2020 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans but failed to finish due to a technical issue on the engine. Returning for the opening round of the European Le Mans Series at Barcelona in April 2021, the driver line-up of Matteo Cressoni, Rino Mastronardi, and Miguel Molina hit back with a class victory. This was followed by 3rd place in the LMGTE division at the Red Bull Ring, another triumph at Paul Ricard, then 2nd at Monza.
Interspersed was a return in August to the Circuit de la Sarthe, with Cressoni, Mastronardi, and IndyCar driver Callum Ilott teaming up to achieve a fine 3rd place in the GTE Am ranks. Then resuming the ELMS for the final two rounds of the season, the sterling run of form continued. Cressoni, Mastronardi, and Molina reunited to snare 2nd in class at Spa-Francorchamps, before yet another category win arrived in the season-ending bout at Portimão. All told, the #80 crew walked away with the LMGTE championship Drivers’ title as Iron Lynx bagged the Teams’ crown.
The 2022 calendar started with a trip to the United States for the 488 GTE Evo, as it was entered into the WEC curtain-raiser, the 1000 Miles of Sebring. After 179 laps around the notoriously gruelling, bumpy concrete circuit, the all-female line-up of Rachel Frey, Michelle Gatting, and Sarah Bovy brought the car to the chequered flag 5th in class.
For the remainder of the year, chassis 3858 returned to European grids. Frey, Gatting, and Bovy again shared the car for a 7th-in-class result at Le Mans. With Doriane Pin then joining Bovy and Gatting, the trio guided the 488 to a successive 2nd-in-class finish at Spa in the ELMS before rounding out the car’s front-line career with an LMGTE win at Portimão.
This championship-winning Ferrari has remained a part of the Iron Lynx stable ever since as part of The Tailored For Speed Collection and therefore boasts single ownership from new. It is presently finished in its predominantly satin black Iron Lynx #80 livery, as worn for its run to a class podium at Le Mans in 2021.
The 488 GTE Evo remain eligible for a variety of national-level GT racing series, plus the prestigious Club Competizioni GT official Ferrari programme. Bidders are encouraged to get the car mechanically overhauled and validate the dates of the safety equipment prior to campaigning the car.

Fully serviced and prepared by AF-Corse
Limited-run of around 25 track-only cars worldwide
Elligible for Club Competizioni GT Series from Ferrari, the third most prestigious Ferrari racing series after F1 and XX-programm
Much more durable technology than XX-cars, as much as four times more robust engine
Unparalleled performance on track
HISTORY
The Ferrari 488 GT Modificata is a remarkable track-only vehicle that embodies Ferrari’s decades-long expertise in motorsport engineering and innovation. Building on the success of the Ferrari 488 GT3 and 488 GTE, this limited-production car bridges the gap between endurance racing technology and private track-day performance.
At its core lies an enhanced version of Ferrari’s award-winning 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing over 700 horsepower. This iteration surpasses the performance limits imposed on the GT3 and GTE models by racing regulations, offering a purer expression of the car’s capabilities. The engine is paired with a reinforced transmission, engineered to handle the increased power and sustained high-performance demands of circuit driving.
The aerodynamic design of the 488 GT Modificata is a direct evolution of Ferrari’s racing experience. Drawing from the 488 GTE, the car features extensive carbon fiber construction, a large rear diffuser, and an adjustable rear wing. Together, these elements generate increased downforce for exceptional stability and control at high speeds, allowing the car to maintain precise handling during aggressive cornering.
The suspension system, derived from the 488 GTE, is specifically tuned to offer unparalleled responsiveness and performance on the track. Stopping power comes from a state-of-the-art Brembo carbon-ceramic braking system, inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology. These brakes provide consistent and reliable performance under the intense demands of track driving.
Inside, the 488 GT Modificata stays true to its racing roots. The interior is stripped of unnecessary luxuries, focusing instead on functionality and driver engagement. It includes FIA-approved racing seats, a roll cage, and a digital interface that displays real-time telemetry, ensuring the driver has access to critical performance data during every lap.
Historically, the Modificata continues Ferrari’s tradition of creating exclusive, track-focused cars for its most passionate clients. The term “Modificata” itself pays homage to Ferrari’s history, often used to describe models that have been significantly modified for enhanced performance. Limited in production, the 488 GT Modificata is a testament to Ferrari’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering, offering owners a car that not only reflects the brand’s racing heritage but also allows them to experience it firsthand on the track.
OUR 488 GT Modificata
Our example is a one-owner, German car, which was painstakingly maintained by AF-Corse before and after every race. It totals around 5,000km today and is accompanied by three sets of wheels and tires. Currently fully maintained and race-ready, our example will benefit from a service at AF-Corse prior to delivery.
This represents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the very limited run of track-only 488 GT Modificata, which are eligible to enter Ferrari’s third most prestigious race series, the Club Competizioni GT.

For sale by RM Sotheby’s – 1998 Ferrari 333 SP
1998 Ferrari 333 SP
Estimate 4.500.000 – 5.000.000 CHF
- The 22nd of 40 examples of the 333 SP, the only topflight Ferrari sportscar prototype constructed in the five decades between 1974 and 2022
- Overall winner of the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup rounds at Barcelona and Monza
- Four further podiums helped JB Giesse Racing claim the 1999 SR1 Teams’ title
- Raced by Emmanuel Collard and Vincenzo Sospiri to the Drivers’ championship
- Ferrari Classiche “Red Book”-certified in April 2010
- Fully mechanically overhauled by Ferrari with Michelotto in 2021
- Only three private caretakers since 2000
- Remains highly eligible for Ferrari Corse Clienti, among other premier racing events
Despite Ferrari’s incredible Grand Prix record, arguably its most legendary accomplishments have arrived in the arena of sportscar racing. Through to 1974, the marque amassed 15 World Sportscar Championship titles, eight victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven Mille Miglia wins, and seven more triumphs in the Targa Florio. Not to mention the three consecutive Le Mans successes secured since making its La Sarthe return in 2023.
However, a year after winning the 1972 championship with the celebrated 312 PB, a dismal 1973 campaign prompted Ferrari to withdraw from sportscar racing altogether to bolster its F1 operation. It would be two decades before, in 1993, the manufacturer signalled its long-awaited return with the unveiling of a prototype spider intended to compete in the open-cockpit World Sports Car class in the forthcoming 1994 IMSA GT season.
Development was spurred by racing privateer and loyal Ferrari customer Gianpiero Moretti—the founder of the Momo automotive accessories manufacturer—with support from Ferrari North America CEO Gianluigi Longinotti-Buitoni. The resulting car, the 333 SP, was to become Ferrari’s only modern sports racing prototype for nearly half a century. It was a spiritual descendent of the ultra-successful “P” series from the 1960s and early 1970s. including legends such as the 250 P, 275P, 330 P2, 330 P4, and 312 PB—all World Championship winners.
The 333 SP was engineered collaboratively, with Dallara Automobili spearheading aerodynamic research while Michelotto was entrusted with much of the build process. Following completion of an initial prototype by Michelotto, Dallara assumed build responsibilities for chassis numbers 002 through 014, after which Michelotto completed the balance of 40 total cars.
Engineered with F1-derived racing technologies, the 333 SP was built around a flat-bottomed carbon fibre monocoque chassis. The model utilised conventional double-wishbone suspension with pushrod-operated coil springs. WSC regulations required engines to be production based and of no more than a 4.0-litre capacity, allowing Ferrari to install its acclaimed 4.0-litre V-12 F310E, effectively a long-stroke version of the “Type 036” Formula 1 motor of 1990. A similar version of this powertrain would also be used in the F50, albeit at a slightly larger displacement.
Ferrari’s return to sportscar racing was immediately successful, resulting in five wins from seven IMSA rounds contested in 1994. In 1995, the 333 SP was victorious in the 12 Hours of Sebring and won both IMSA Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles. Although, the car’s finest outing was undoubtedly the 1998 Daytona 24 Hours: the Momo team delivered Ferrari’s first win in the event since 1967. By the time of its final official outing in 2002, the 333 SP had participated in over 350 races, winning more than 50 and taking 12 major championships in the process. Until the 2022 testing of the 499P, the 333 SP was Maranello’s only prototype sportscars of the modern era. It justifiably holds an important position in Ferrari’s long and storied racing history.
A CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER
Boasting significant competition use during a championship-winning season by a famed French privateer team and authenticated with Ferrari Classiche certification, this 333 SP is a particularly desirable example. Completed in 1998, chassis number 023 is the 22nd example built by chassis number (with superstition leading to chassis 013 being skipped) and the 8th car completed in the Michelotto production run.
Originally sold to Noël Del Bello Racing in October 1998, the 333 SP remained unused until it was acquired the following year by Jean-Pierre Jabouille. A long-time driver and development engineer who broke through with Renault in the late 1970s, Jabouille went on to manage Peugeot’s F1 team during the early 1990s before co-founding JB Racing in 1995. The team ran in the FIA GT Championship until the proliferation of factory entries prompted a shift to prototype racing in the International Sports Racing Series in 1998. JB Racing then dropped Marlboro sponsorship and struck a new partnership with Italian manufacturing firm Giesse, for which a distinctive green, white, and red livery was designed.
For its inaugural ISRS season, JB Giesse Racing adopted the 333 SP model. It paid great dividends, leading to a Teams’ championship title in 1998. A year later, the squad continued with the 333 SP, running no fewer than three different examples. Chassis 023 was the second of the three, and it started in all nine races of the 1999 season (the series renamed to the Sports Racing World Cup), driven by 1998 champions Emmanuel Collard and Vincenzo Sospiri.
The 333 SP made an auspicious debut in the first event at Barcelona, as Sospiri and Collard roared to overall victory. After repeating the feat with a win two weeks later at Monza, the pair followed up with 2nd overall at Spa-Francorchamps in May. In late-June a gearbox failure at Enna-Pergusa prompted an early retirement, but the car returned with 3rd at Donington Park in July. Snaring 2nd at Brno and 3rd at the Nürburgring kept JB Giesse in comfortable reach of a championship. After leaving the track at Magny-Cours in September, chassis 023 managed 4th at Kyalami in November, more than sufficient to retain a points advantage. Team JB Giesse had won the 1999 title, and chassis 023 played an integral role.
Following its crowning glory, the Ferrari was retired in 2000 and sold into a private collection in Belgium. Less than a year later the 333 SP passed to a world-class collector in Canada, and he presented the car initially during the Festival Ferrari at Mont Tremblant in July 2001 then again at the 2006 Cavallino Classic. In April 2010 the 333 was issued with Ferrari Classiche “Red Book” certification.
Acquired by The Tailored For Speed Collection in 2021, it went straight to Michelotto via Ferrari to benefit from a full mechanical rebuild (the invoice is on file). Then, the 333 SP was presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2022. The next month, it was returned to Michelotto for servicing.
As an important championship-winning example of Ferrari’s sole racing prototype of the late-20th Century, chassis number 023 would make a dazzling addition to any racing collection. It offers its next caretaker the pleasure of screaming hot laps at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali, or entry into the Endurance Racing Legends series, as well as sitting as the pride of field display at major events such as Cavallino Classic or Pebble Beach.

The late 1970s and 1980s were characterised by a period of corporate restructuring at Ferrari, which led to an increased focus on the company’s Formula 1 programme and resultant waning enthusiasm for other sporting activities. Consequently, the 1980s and early 1990s were lean years for Ferrari in endurance racing. Remarkably, at Le Mans–a race which they had previously won on nine occasions–the period from 1985 to 1993 passed without a single Ferrari contesting the race.
However, the constantly evolving nature of the sport–and Sports car racing in particular–mercifully rendered Ferrari’s absence from top-line endurance racing only temporary. The combination of the highly successful IMSA-based 333 SP Sportscar programme and a burgeoning GT racing scene in Europe heightened enthusiasm for a potential Ferrari “closed wheel” racing return; the company’s recently introduced 550 Maranello model representing the ideal basis for a car very much in the mould of its Competizione predecessors.
Eager to avoid compromising its existing Formula 1 or IMSA programmes, Ferrari offered cautious encouragement to several privately funded, 550 Maranello-based projects rather than opting to develop a car “in house”. French GT team Red Racing commissioned Italian Race and Rally specialists Italtecnica to develop a GT3-specification car as early as 1999; the programme subsequently being expanded to develop a contender for the top-level GT class in the 2000 FIA GT Championship. Italtecnica-built cars were campaigned initially by First Racing–with lamentable results–and subsequently by Team Rafanelli, with whom they achieved a handful of podium placings in the 2001 FIA GT Championship and 2002 American Le Mans Series.
However, from mid-2001 onwards the British Prodrive team joined the FIA GT Championship ranks with their self-developed 550 Maranello GTS; the project being almost entirely funded by French shipping magnate Frédéric Dor. Results were virtually immediate–with Rickard Rydell and Peter Kox taking victory in only the car’s second race–while in 2002, Prodrive-built cars won a further four FIA rounds and took class victory in the American Le Mans Series round at Laguna Seca. However, 2003 would prove to be the car’s breakout year, with Banbury-built chassis securing four ALMS victories, the FIA GT Championship and a GTS class win at Le Mans.
As the 2002 season had progressed–with increasingly encouraging, if somewhat belated results–Ferrari found themselves reappraising their future involvement in GT racing. Production of the 550 Maranello road car had ceased in late 2001, to be replaced by the evolutionary 575M in 2002. Such a transition therefore presented the factory with an ideal opportunity to assume responsibility for production of any future Competition derivative of the 575M, rather than permitting third parties to do so, as had been the case previously.
To this end, Ferrari themselves commissioned the Alfa Romeo-affiliated European Touring Car Championship team N.Technology to build two FIA-specification 550 Maranello chassis over the winter of 2002/2003. Dubbed the 550 Maranello GTC, these would effectively serve as prototypes for a factory-blessed–but still privateer-focussed–replacement, the 575M GTC. Both 550 GTC chassis–2102 and 2104–would be entrusted to loyal Ferrari customer team JMB Racing, and entered in selected rounds of the 2003 FIA GT Championship.
Chassis 2102–the car RM Sotheby’s are proud to offer here–made its race debut in the Donington 500 kilometres, the fifth round of the season. Christian Terrien, Philipp Peter, and Boris Derichebourg shared driving duties; the trio qualifying a respectable 13th out of 29 starters–albeit some 2.5 seconds adrift of the pole-sitting Chrysler Viper. However, a troubled race restricted them to 21st overall and 11th in class at the finish.
JMB’s next outing was in the Spa 24 Hours, in which half Championship points would be awarded at six and twelve hours, in addition to the customary full allocation at race distance. On this occasion, Babini and Derichebourg were joined in 2102 by Philipp Peter; their 10th place after qualifying reflecting their focus on race pace rather than outright speed. In the race, the notorious Ardennes weather played into the hands of the less powerful–but more controllable–N-GT class cars, with the Freisinger team’s Porsche 911 GT3-RS leading overall at the six-hour mark. However, a stellar first quarter of the race for the crew of 2102 saw them in second place overall and awarded maximum “six hour” points as GT class leaders; the trio remaining on the same lap as the Porsche.
After 12 hours, the Freisinger Porsche continue to lead, albeit with the Larbre Competition Chrysler Viper having taken over at the top of the GT class standings. A minor suspension issue had delayed 2102–costing almost 20 minutes–although the team remained in third place overall, and second in class. However, shortly before three-quarter distance, engine problems cruelly forced the Ferrari into retirement, albeit with the consolation of nine Championship points as a result of its impressive early race form. Remarkably, the diminutive Porsche clung on to take a memorable victory.
The Championship reconvened at Anderstorp in Sweden in early September, where proceedings reverted to the usual 500 kilometre “Sprint” race format. There, 2102 was once again entrusted to Babini and Peter; the pair duly qualifying in 10th position, alongside 2104, in ninth. However, once again a promising race position came to naught, for the car encountered a recurrence of the suspension issues suffered at Spa, and retired with 15 laps remaining.
If Anderstorp represented another disappointing weekend, then the eighth round of the Championship–at Oschersleben, two weeks later–would prove even more so. Babini and Peter remained as 2102’s nominated drivers, but an engine failure in qualifying prevented the car from starting the race. Thereafter, JMB switched over to the new N-Technology-built 575 Maranello GTC for the final two rounds of the Championship; this decision heralding the end of 2102’s brief contemporary racing career. Ironically, at the penultimate round of the Championship at Estoril, Babini and Peter drove their 575 to a richly-deserved overall victory; a result in which its luckless predecessor undoubtedly played a part.
Following the conclusion of the 2003 season, 2102 reverted to custody of Ferrari S.p.A, prior to its sale to avid Ferrari enthusiast–and sometime F40 GTE competitor–Piero Nappi in 2005. In his hands, the car competed extensively in the Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna (Italian Speed Hill Climb Championship) over the next decade or more; the pair achieving some 40 group or class wins and securing GTM class titles in 2005, as well being highly competitive in the 2006 and 2014 seasons. As if to underline the significance of these achievements, the car’s accompanying history file includes a letter from Jean Todt, in which the then Ferrari CEO and Race Division General Manager offers Nappi his heartfelt congratulations.
In 2017, 2102 was acquired by its next owner who, remarkably, was the car’s second private owner. In his care, it has undergone a sympathetic restoration to its 2003 Spa 24 Hours livery. Since the car’s acquisition by the consignor, it benefitted from further expenditure in excess of €60,000. This included a comprehensive service with legendary Ferrari specialists Toni Auto of Maranello in November 2023, and extensive fabrication and pipework modifications by erstwhile 550 constructors Italtecnica in September 2024; the latter at a cost of some €26,450.
The car subsequently completed a brief shakedown test at Cremona, prior to its appearance at Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali celebrations at Imola in October 2024. Significantly, both engine and gearbox items have been rebuilt in recent years; the former by Autotecnica Motori in 2016 and the latter by acknowledged Hewland expert Steve Bannon in 2017.
Undoubtedly, and perhaps unwittingly, the 550 Maranello provided the catalyst for Ferrari’s long overdue official return to Endurance racing in 2006. It is believed that Italtecnica produced just five such chassis and Prodrive a further 12, while N.Technology were responsible for the two 550 GTCs and the subsequent factory-sanctioned run of 12 575M GTCs. Yet of these, only the N.Technology-built 550 GTCs can legitimately claim official factory backing and ownership; their truncated “even” chassis numbers reflecting their works-blessed status, and contrasting starkly with the lengthy production-type designations worn by Prodrive and Italtecnica-built variants.
Fusing superb engineering, sensational performance and classical “long nose” Ferrari GT styling, the 550 GTC bears all the hallmarks of a true Maranello great. In the case of 2102, these attributes are further augmented by its remarkable originality, comprehensive accompanying documentation–including the coveted Ferrari Classiche certification–and minimal ownership chain. Finally, its eligibility for all manner of historic race, demonstration and Concours events ensures that it remains a car of unparalleled versatility–and one in which the spirit of illustrious Ferrari Competizione cars of the past assuredly lives on.

For sale – 2003 Ferrari 575 GTC
All details and more pictures HERE at Classic Driver
While the 550 race cars, dubbed 550 GTS, were produced by British firm Prodrive largely in secret from Ferrari, the 575 GTC were built by the factory.
The 575 GTCs are considered to be the very last V-12 race car built by the Ferrari factory, and only 12 examples were built for the 24 Heures du Mans, the FIA GT Championship and the American Le Mans Series.
They were fitted with an Xtrac 6-speed sequential gearbox and V-12 engine Tipo F133M GT developing 605 hp at 6,300 rpm.
Our car, chassis #2204 is one of these 12 cars and most especially one of the only 3 which entered Le Mans 24H.
Its sole owner, Peter Kutemann, purchased the car new from Ferrari Factory. The car was always raced and serviced by JMB Racing.
#2204 entered the FIA GT Championship in 2004, mostly driven by Antoine Gosse, Peter Kutemann and Stéphane Daoudi and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005 with Stéphane Daoudi (F), Jean-René de Fournoux (F) and Jim Matthews (USA) behing the wheels. The car completed the Le Mans Endurance Series in 2005 as well.
The 575 GTC is considered to be the very last front-engine V-12 racing car ever made at the Ferrari factory.
It is eligible for Ferrari’s own highly prestigious series “Club Competizione GT”.
Other events for which the car would be gladly invited include the Endurance Racing Legends series, Classic Daytona 24 and Sebring Classic 12 hours.
The car is race ready and is for sale with a spare parts lot as well as a set of wheels.
#2204 is visible in our facilities, upon appointment.
