For sale – 1997 Ferrari F355 Challenge RHD
INTRODUCTION
This unique and highly desirable Ferrari F355 Challenge spec car is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example which is also road registered.
This example is a proven front running car which has had very few hours running since a refresh. It has been fastidiously maintained and benefits from a detailed service history and recent rebuild by our Motorsport department at SBR.
VEHICLE OVERVIEW
The Ferrari F355 Challenge was a competition variant of the road-going F355 Berlinetta, originally developed by Ferrari’s Corse Clienti department for use in the single-make Ferrari Challenge series. Initially launched in 1995, cars were either converted from standard F355s or very rarely built from new by Ferrari for racing.
This car was converted to challenge spec in 2018 by an independent specialist. We have since rebuilt the car to a superior specification using all genuine Challenge parts where needed. It has always been a front running and race winning car in the Ferrari Club Classic series and is an ideal car for the novice and experienced driver alike.
Technical Specifications (F355 Challenge)
Engine: 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V8
Power: 375 bhp (280 kW) @ 8,250 rpm
Torque: 363 Nm (268 lb-ft) @ 6,000 rpm
Transmission: 6-speed manual with gated shifter
0–62 mph: ~4.7 seconds
Top Speed: ~183 mph
Engine & Transmission
The engine has been upgraded internally with new Carrillo connecting rods, New Pistons, New cylinder liners, New valves & valve guides. These were fitted as part of an engine refresh which has since covered around 6 hours running only. We inspected and changed the engine bearings in 2024, the car has completed less than an hour since. The engine mapping has been tailored in house by us on our rolling road to extract better power and improved tractability.
Challenge twin engine oil coolers
Challenge coolant pies with fan control
Challenge type gearbox oil cooler
Challenge cam belt protective covers etc
The engine was removed at the start of this year (2025) for a full service and cam belt replacement and tensioner bearing replaced. Engine timed correctly, new cam cover gaskets and seals as well as the cam covers re-wrinkle powder coating in the trademark red! New Challenge exhaust heat shields etc were also fitted at this time.

FEATURES
Finished in classic Rosso Corsa over a stripped-out, race-prepared interior, this F355 Challenge retains all the hallmark features of the factory-built competition cars.
This F355 Challenge also features a repackable BTB competition exhaust system, allowing the naturally aspirated V8 to deliver its signature high-revving howl with even greater intensity — an unforgettable aural experience!
Externally, it wears the correct 18-inch Speedline wheels, Challenge rear grille for improved cooling, and subtle period-correct decals — all pointing to its motorsport pedigree.
HISTORY
Raced by Tim Walker in the Ferrari Club classic series this car enjoyed many podiums and victories. The car is offered with comprehensive file of documentation, supporting its maintenance history by the previous owner and the work carried out by us.
Throughout its road car life, it has been cared for by Ferrari main dealers and respected independent specialists, with recent work including timing belt replacement and a full fluids service by us.

When Ferrari introduced the F355 in 1994, it signaled a decisive return to form. Pininfarina refined the 348’s profile into a classically beautiful shape, highlighted by elegant flying buttresses, while beneath the surface, the car was a technological showcase. Its 3.5-liter V8, equipped with five valves per cylinder, titanium connecting rods, and Bosch engine management, produced 380 PS, placing it among the most advanced engines of its day. Combined with an aerodynamically sculpted underbody and electronically adjustable dampers, the F355 was more than five seconds faster around Fiorano than its predecessor.
Building on this foundation, Ferrari unveiled the F355 Challenge in 1995 for its one-make Ferrari Challenge series. Developed from the Berlinetta, all Challenge cars began life as road cars and were converted with a factory kit supplied through dealers costing nearly €25.000. The package included a full roll cage, racing seats and harnesses, a fire extinguisher, a competition clutch, a lightweight exhaust, and upgraded Brembo brakes sourced from the F40. Magnesium Speedline wheels wearing Pirelli tires, solid suspension bushings, cooling ducts, and tow hooks completed the specification, while a perforated rear grille improved cooling.
While the engine output and dimensions are the same as the roadgoing F355, the Challenge’s six-speed manual transmission was sealed against modification to ensure parity on track. Just 300 examples were created between 1995 and 1998, making the F355 Challenge one of the rarest and most desirable modern-era competition Ferraris.
First registered on 19 March 1996, the car was delivered by legendary Ferrari Scuderia Auto Neuser in Nürnberg to Harald Brutschin. Already a seasoned driver, Brutschin won the Ferrari Challenge Middle European Championship in 1994 in a 348 Challenge, and again in 1995 behind the wheel of an F355 Challenge. For the 1996 season, this new F355 Challenge car was finished in the iconic McDonald’s livery and raced under the Neuser team name. Following this season, the car was used on a more limited basis.
In recent years, the car underwent a comprehensive, photo documented restoration. This extensive work is said to include an engine-out service with the timing belts replaced. A compression test was performed at this time, with the results available for review in the accompanying history file. After one and a half years of work, the car was brought to its current stunning condition.
Today, this iconic McDonald’s-liveried F355 Challenge remains in outstanding condition displaying just 43,478 kilometers at cataloging. It is furnished with the original Fahrzeugbrief still in Brutschin’s name, leather folio housing its owner’s manual and service book, as well as three binders documenting its race history, service invoices, and more. More than just a beautifully restored Ferrari race car, this F355 has the added distinction of being retained by a single private owner from new, with a fantastic racing pedigree. The F355 also has the added benefit of being one of the only Challenge cars to be legal for road use in one of the most iconic liveries. Whether for concours use or continued track use, this F355 surely is one of the finest currently available and would be the ideal addition to any noteworthy Ferrari stable.

Originally sold to the Di Risio Competizione team for use in the popular Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli, chassis 119529 was driven by several notable drivers between 2000 and 2004. These included team owner Massimo Di Risio, Vitaliano Maccario, and future Sebring 12 Hour class-winner, Alessandro Balzan. The car contested four seasons in the series—visiting historic circuits such as Monza, Mugello, Imola, and Vallelunga—prior to its sale to Scuderia Giudici, the eponymous team of accomplished endurance and sometime DTM competitor, Gianni Giudici.
In Giudici’s custody, the car was upgraded aerodynamically to comply with the regulations of the International GT Open series, in which it competed in 2006 and 2007 with Giuseppe Arlotti and Fabrizio Gini driving. Highlights of the team’s campaigns included class wins at Vallelunga and Monza, 2nd in class at Brands Hatch, and 3rd at Magny-Cours.
This 360 Challenge benefits from a service by official Ferrari agents Passione Sportiva of Austria as recently as June 2023 and another overall service in 2024 at Ferrari specialist Rebello Racing. This included the replacement of its timing belt, belt tensioners, and all fluids. This prodigiously fast track day weapon awaits its next owner as a worthy contender for entry to many of the relevant historic races for which it is eligible.

2006 Ferrari F430 GT3 Scuderia – Chassis 152599-SC22
One of Only 25 Scuderia-Specification examples ever built
A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable customer-racing Ferraris of the modern GT era.
Chassis 152599-SC22 is the 25th of 54 Ferrari F430s built to GT3 specification by Ferrari Racing Partner Kessel Racing, and later received the coveted 2010 Scuderia GT3 upgrade — a transformation applied to only 25 cars worldwide – this being number 22 of 25. This factory-aligned evolution brought significant improvements in aerodynamics, chassis dynamics, and performance, making these Scuderia-spec cars the most sought-after F430 GT3s, and very powerful – over 550bhp.
When delivered new the chassis number was 152599-25 (the 25th GT3 built, but this changed to 152599-SC22 when it became the 22nd car upgraded into Scuderia spec)
SC22 was owned and raced in period exclusively by Hector Lester, who shared the car with late GT racing legend, Allan Simonsen. Together they had multiple outright victories, the final one being in October 2010, where Lester and Simonsen defeated the whole British GT pack at Donington.
With its pedigree as a race-winning Ferrari GT car, its rare and spectacular performance, and total originality, chassis SC22 is both highly eligible for a wide range of premier historic racing meetings, but also a perfect addition to any great Ferrari collection.
SC22 is eligible for the following:
Club Competizioni GT (Corse Clienti)
GT3 Revival by Peter Auto/SRO
GT3 Legends by MRL
Daytona / Sebring Classic
Monterey Historic
Additional top-tier events worldwide
A potential front-running entry in the early Peter Auto/SRO GT3 Legends class, and MRL class, or simply a fabulous looking and sounding car to enjoy on private track days and with Ferrari Corse Clienti.

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.

POA
Chassis: 2610
Ferrari’s abundant history of successful competition cars and countless victories is no mean feat, especially when it comes to the collaborative efforts undertaken by none other than Michelotto and Corse Clienti. The F430 GTC is no exception, a car that was built without compromise, proving itself astoundingly capable with class championship wins in the ALMS, FIA GT, and scoring class wins in 2007, 2009 and 2010 12 Hours of Sebring, at the 2008 and 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans, at the 2006, 2008, and 2009 24 Hours of Spa and at the 2008 and 2009 Petit Le Mans.
Furlonger are pleased to offer this Ferrari F430 GTC EVO, chassis no. 2610, 1 of just 14 GTCs produced, and one with impressive period results. The F430 GTC is eligible for a variety of high-quality championships and events including ‘Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends’, ‘Masters Endurance Legends’ and Ferrari’s own exclusive ‘Clienti’ events.
The F430 GTC was designed to compete in international GT2 class racing, such as the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, and 24 Hours of Le Mans. The fastest and most unyielding motorsport version of the F430, the GTC is widely considered one of the most exciting and engaging contemporary racing cars produced by Ferrari.
One of two F430 GTCs ordered new by Pierre Ehret, a successful winery owner, businessman, and gentleman driver, chassis no. 2610 was configured without sparing any expense. Additional options included a data acquisition system, water and engine oil quick refilling equipment, air conditioning, 24-hour race lights, a carbon clutch and an uprated front brake cooling system.
Run by Tafel Racing, the pair of Ferrari F430 GTCs arrived at Sebring in March for the season-opening round of the American Le Mans Series — the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring and the most significant race on the calendar. Car No.73 was shared by its owner Pierre Ehret, team principal Jim Tafel, and the late Allan Simonsen. The highly respected Danish driver would later become an Aston Martin works driver, compete at Le Mans on seven occasions, and claim the 2009 Asian Le Mans Series GT2 Championship.
After an infamously gruelling twice-around-the-clock contest, No.73 crossed the line fourth in class, a remarkable result that saw it finish ahead of its sister Ferrari and just three laps shy of a podium position.
From Sebring onwards, No.73 delivered a season defined by consistency and pace. Competing in nine ALMS rounds at some of North America’s most iconic circuits, including Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, the Ferrari secured top-ten finishes in eight races, with just a single retirement marring an otherwise exceptional campaign.
Thanks to this consistent points-scoring form, Tafel Racing finished second overall in the GT2 class of the 2008 American Le Mans Series Championship, narrowly missing out on the title by just 16 points to the Flying Lizard Porsche 911 RSR, while finishing a commanding 36 points ahead of the factory-backed Risi Competizione Ferrari effort.
Chassis #F131EVOGTC 2610 was retired and sold following its debut ALMS season, carefully preserved and maintained. Its outstanding provenance and exceptional originality later attracted the attention of its next owner, during whose stewardship the Ferrari returned to competition for selected rounds of the 2012 Pirelli World Challenge. Driven by David Welch, the then four-year-old F430 GTC recorded three further top-ten finishes against significantly newer machinery.
Although it first raced over a decade ago, this Ferrari is now eligible for some of the most desirable historic racing series in the world. These include the Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends, where it stands as the most recent and therefore ultimate GT2 Ferrari eligible, as well as the Masters Endurance Legends series, alongside invitations to Ferrari Challenge and exclusive GT Days.

For sale is a 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 Evo
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.

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.

For sale by RM Sotheby’s – 1984 Ferrari 308 GT/M
For sale by RM Sotheby’s art there MONACO Sale 2026 – 1984 Ferrari 308 GT/M
All details and more pictures HERE at RM Sotheby’s
Chassis Nr. 001
Estimate is 1.500.000 to 2.000.000 Mio. Euro
- The ultimate evolution of the 308 platform; the first of only three examples built
- Key development car in the creation of the legendary Ferrari 288 GTO and F40
- The first purpose-built race car designed and built primarily in the hands of the Michelotto family
- Currently fitted with a special, experimental Tipo F105L engine
- Achieved blisteringly fast lap times around Fiorano during testing; quicker than the more powerful 512 BB/LM and subsequent F40
- Sold by the factory to five-time 24 Hours of Le Mans podium finisher Jean Blaton in Belgium
- Outstanding opportunity to own one of the few very special race cars from the dawn of the Ferrari hypercar era
While the 308 GT/M may not yet be a household name, the significance of the Michelotto-inspired race car should not be underestimated in Ferrari history. In the context of motorsport, it was conceived as the ultimate evolution of the mid-engined Ferrari 308 platform, only for the Group B formula that shaped its creation to evolve before the car properly had a chance to compete on behalf of the factory. Then, there’s its impact on the modern-day hypercar scene. For, without the GT/M, there might never have been the 288 GTO. And from that icon, Ferrari’s ‘Big Six’—completed by the F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, and F80—was born to spur on rivals, not least Porsche and McLaren.
The GT/M’s distant cousin was the 308 GTB road car, which had already been adapted for competition. Between 1978 and 1983, variants entered a plethora of race and rally events in both Group 4 and succeeding Group B specification—most notably counting wins in the Targa Florio and Tour de France. But, in partnership with Ferrari, Michelotto—effectively the marque’s customer racing arm—decided to create a truly bespoke prototype.
As a result, the Bosch fuel-injected, four-valve-per-cylinder, 3.0-litre naturally aspirated V-8 engine was rotated to sit longitudinally in a tubular chassis, while power increased from 310 to circa 370 horsepower. The five-speed Hewland gearbox was mounted upside down to make room for a Formula 1-derived Borg and Beck clutch. The double-wishbone suspension was rose-jointed and matched with Bilstein dampers. Brembo supplied ventilated disc brakes and four-piston callipers, and a hydraulic handbrake was fitted to make light work of hairpin bends out on the rally stages. The mechanical components were then cloaked in more aerodynamic carbon fibre and Kevlar coachwork, crafted by Auto Sport of Bastiglia, for a total weight of a mere 840 kilograms. In fact, the 308 GT/M was the first Ferrari race car outside of F1 to gain a composite body.
Designed with a low centre of gravity and to be easy to work on in overnight service parks, just three examples of the 308 GT/M were built by Michelotto. The first of those, chassis number 001 offered here, was tested extensively at Fiorano as parts were optimised and even different wheelbase lengths were tried. However, a full Works programme in Group B rally championships would ultimately be cut short. The limiting factor was a rear-wheel-drive layout at a time when the likes of the four-wheel-drive Audi quattro and Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 were coming to the fore.
While the 308 GT/M was being honed behind closed doors, in early 1984 loyal client Jean Blaton caught wind of this new silhouette racer. The five-time 24 Hours of Le Mans podium finisher approached Maranello to convince Michelotto to sell him chassis 001 via Ferrari concessionaire Garage Francorchamps. Entered under the banner of legendary Belgian race team Écurie Francorchamps, Blaton would campaign this car in club-level events during the mid-to-late 1980s, including at Circuit Goodyear in Luxembourg further to winning contests at Zandvoort in the Netherlands and Zolder in Belgium.
Of the two other 308 GT/Ms, chassis 002 appeared in the 1984 Rally Autodromo di Monza and showed promising speed to lead the event before crashing; the third car was built up at the end of 1986. The trio would come to have a long-lasting legacy, paving the way for the creation of the 288 GTO and, in turn, its F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, and F80 successors.
In January 1996, chassis 001 was sold across the border to the former President of the Ferrari Owners Club of France, Mr Guy Domet. It was then purchased by an American custodian in December 2006 to be raced in the Ferrari-Maserati Historic Challenge series. Regularly enjoyed on track, it featured as part of the 2006 and 2007 Cavallino Classic meetings at Moroso Motorsports Park in Florida, at Road America in Wisconsin, Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, Sonoma Raceway in California, and Virginia International Raceway.
To keep the 308 GT/M in fine fettle for its use on circuit, the car was regularly prepared by Ferrari specialist Motion Products in Wisconsin. As part of the maintenance, the engine, driveshafts, cooling system, clutch, and transmission were routinely rebuilt and serviced. Invoices (dated from 2006 to April 2009; available to view on file) for the works and trackside support total almost $390,000.
Acquired by the consigning owner approximately 10 years ago, chassis 001 stands out as an incredibly rare Ferrari competition car that holds a fascinating backstory from the dawn of Ferrari’s hypercar era. Having achieved lap times at Fiorano that eclipsed the 288 GTO, F40, and even the larger V-12 engine 512 BB/LM, the 308 GT/M was proven to be blisteringly fast and one of the few extremely rare and exclusive race car models from an era that is now entering its golden period in the collector car market.
Versus the likes of the Ferrari 250 GTO, Testa Rossa, P series of endurances racers, and the Scuderia Formula 1 racers, the 308 GT/M might be lesser known in the annals of Maranello motorsport. But its impact on the marque’s flagship hypercars cannot be understated. The opportunity for the Cavallino connoisseur to add this to their stable is not to be missed.
