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.

Estimate 80.000,– Euro – 120.000,– Euro
All details about the car HERE at RM Sotheby’s
Offered Without Reserve
- Finished in its factory-correct Rosso Corsa race livery with themed logo decals
- Presents in a condition suggesting minimal use by its sole owner from new until 2025
- Powered by a 3.6-litre V-8 engine rated at 400 horsepower from new; paired with an automated manual transmission
- Ideal for track days or eligible racing events, including the Le Mans Classic Legend in its inaugural 2026 edition
- Accompanied by its leather Ferrari folio with selected books and manuals
The Ferrari 360 Challenge was launched in 2000 and replaced the F355 Challenge as the Italian automotive manufacturer’s exclusive one-make series for some of its most valued clients. Unlike the F355 variant, however, the 360 Challenge was a factory-built racing car, rather than returning to marque dealers for retrofitted upgrade kit. Fewer than 300 examples were built, with each car featuring a suite of changes to make it markedly more potent on the circuit than its road-going relative.
The example offered here was delivered new to its sole private owner, who kept the 360 Challenge until 2025. With them, the Ferrari has been used sparingly, commensurate with the condition it is presented in today. The car is offered for sale with its leather Ferrari folio containing selected books and manuals. This Maranello-built V-8 Ferrari would be an ideal contender for track days and the myriad racing events it is eligible for, including the Le Mans Classic Legend. New for 2026, the Legend event will celebrate the modern aspect of heritage racing, welcoming Ferrari Challenge entrants from the 348 and newer, evoking the golden age of Ferrari’s acclaimed single-marque Challenge series. The package will include two practice sessions (including one at night) and one 45-minute race.

Asking price is 268.000 EUR
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.

For sale – 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 Evo
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.

Constructed by Michelotto S.p.A. in Padova – Ferrari’s longtime competition partner and the creator of its most successful modern GT racing machines – this 458 GTE, chassis 2868, stands as one of the most accomplished examples of the marque’s final naturally aspirated GT contender. Just 52 Ferrari 458 GTEs were produced, and among these rare, purpose-built competition cars, few possess a record as complete, impressive, and unblemished as this remarkable Team Taisan-entered machine.
Founded in 1983, Team Taisan is among Japan’s most decorated and enduring privateer racing organizations. Over the course of four decades, the team participated in nearly every major domestic series, including the Fuji Long Distance, JSPC, JTC, and JGTC/Super GT. It was in the latter – Japan’s premier GT championship – that Team Taisan made its most indelible mark, competing in all but one season between 1994 and 2018 and securing eight team titles and four drivers’ championships. The team’s top-level campaigns at GT1 and prototype level saw them field Ferrari F40 LMs and Porsche 962C machinery, while international outings included multiple Le Mans efforts and participation in the Asian Le Mans Series.
Chassis 2868 was delivered new to Team Taisan in 2013 for the inaugural season of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest’s Asian Le Mans Series. Entered as car no. 70 in the LM GTE category, it was driven by ex-Formula 1 stars Kamui Kobayashi and Shinji Nakano, alongside Naoki Yokomizo, Akira Iida, and Shogo Mitsuyama. The car dominated the four-round championship, winning every race outright and earning an automatic invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2014 – the first competitor in series history to achieve a perfect season.
For its Le Mans campaign, Team Taisan owner Yasutsune “Ricky” Chiba, due to commitments in Japan, partnered with renowned German endurance specialists Farnbacher Racing. Nakano was joined by Martin Rich and seasoned Le Mans entrant Pierre Ehret, who had already contested the event eight times. Despite starting from the third-to-last position on the grid, the trio drove a determined, faultless race, finishing an impressive 8th in Class and 28th Overall. Crucially, the Ferrari completed the full 24 hours without mechanical retirement – a distinction achieved by only a select group of contemporary GTE entrants.
Following its successful Le Mans appearance, chassis 2868 returned to Michelotto for an extensive post-season refresh, documented by a December 2014 invoice totaling over €47,000. This work included an engine and gearbox rebuild, suspension overhaul, bodywork refinishing, and comprehensive recommissioning. The Ferrari subsequently returned to Japan, where it saw minimal use, and in 2017 was acquired by one of its former Le Mans drivers, who added it to his private collection. Further preparation by Michelotto in 2019, followed by additional specialist work by DK Engineering, Pursuit Racing Ltd., and Stewart Roden Motors between 2023 and 2024, ensures that the car presents today in superb mechanical and cosmetic condition, supported by extensive documentation and a detailed technical dossier. According to the consignor, the Ferrari has had less than five hours of run time since its last comprehensive rebuild.
Accompanying the Ferrari is a substantial package of spares – including wheels, bodywork components, and dedicated tools – along with a Michelotto technical manual and FIA safety-cage homologation papers, resources seldom offered with customer-team GTE machinery. A complete list of spares is available upon request. Chassis 2868 is further enhanced by eligibility for leading modern-endurance series such as Masters Endurance Legends, Endurance Racing Legends, and Ferrari’s Club Competizioni GT, now featured as official support events at select WEC rounds.
A highly original, impeccably documented Ferrari 458 GTE with championship-winning credentials, a strong Le Mans finish, and an exceptional spares package, chassis 2868 stands among the most desirable and versatile GT competition Ferraris of its era.
Construite à Padoue par Michelotto S.p.A., partenaire de longue date de Ferrari en compétition et créateur de ses GT de course modernes les plus performantes, cette 458 GTE, châssis 2868, figure parmi les exemplaires les plus aboutis de la dernière GT atmosphérique de la marque. Seules 52 Ferrari 458 GTE ont été produites, et parmi ces rares voitures de compétition conçues spécialement, peu d’entre elles possèdent un palmarès aussi complet, impressionnant et immaculé que cette remarquable machine engagée par le Team Taisan.
Fondé en 1983, le Team Taisan est l’une des structures privées de compétition les plus titrées et durables du Japon. En 40 ans, l’équipe a participé à presque toutes les grandes séries nationales, y compris la Fuji Long Distance, le JSPC, le JTC et le JGTC/Super GT. C’est dans ce dernier – le championnat GT le plus prestigieux du Japon – que le Team Taisan a imprimé sa marque la plus grande. Entre 1994 et 2018, il a participé à toutes les saisons, sauf une, et a remporté huit titres constructeurs et quatre championnats pilotes. Lors de campagnes de haut niveau en GT1 et dans les catégories prototype, le team a engagé des Ferrari F40 LM et des Porsche 962C. À l’international, il a couru plusieurs fois au Mans et a participé à l’Asian Le Mans Series.
Le châssis 2868 a été livré neuf au Team Taisan en 2013 pour la saison inaugurale de l’Asian Le Mans Series organisée par l’Automobile Club de l’Ouest. Engagée sous le numéro 70 dans la catégorie LM GTE, cette voiture était pilotée par les anciennes stars de la Formule 1 Kamui Kobayashi et Shinji Nakano, aux côtés de Naoki Yokomizo, Akira Iida et Shogo Mitsuyama. Elle a dominé ce championnat en quatre manches, en remportant le classement général de chacune des courses, devenant la première concurrente de l’histoire de la série à réaliser une saison parfaite. Elle a ensuite automatiquement obtenu une invitation aux 24 Heures du Mans en 2014.
Pour cette campagne mancelle, le propriétaire du Team Taisan, Yasutsune « Ricky » Chiba, s’est associé, en raison d’engagements précédents au Japon, aux célèbres spécialistes allemands de l’endurance Farnbacher Racing. Martin Rich et le vétéran des 24 Heures du Mans Pierre Ehret, qui comptait déjà huit participations à cette course, ont rejoint Nakano pour former le trio de pilotes. Malgré une qualification à seulement trois places de la lanterne rouge sur la grille, le trio a mené une course déterminée et sans faute, qui lui a permis de terminer à une impressionnante 8e place de sa catégorie et 28e au général. Il faut surtout noter que cette Ferrari a couru pendant l’intégralité des 24 heures sans connaître d’avarie mécanique, un honneur dont seul un groupe restreint d’engagés en GTE cette année-là peut s’enorgueillir.
Après sa participation réussie au Mans, le châssis 2868 est retourné chez Michelotto pour une vaste remise à neuf de fin de saison, comme en témoigne une facture de décembre 2014 pour un montant total de plus de 47 000 €. Ces travaux comprenaient une reconstruction du moteur et de la boîte de vitesses, une révision de la suspension, une remise à neuf de la carrosserie et une remise en service complète. La Ferrari est ensuite retournée au Japon, où elle a été peu utilisée. En 2017, un de ses anciens pilotes du Mans en a fait l’acquisition et l’a ajoutée à sa collection privée. En 2019, elle a bénéficié d’une préparation supplémentaire par Michelotto, suivie de nouveaux travaux spécialisés réalisés par DK Engineering, Pursuit Racing Ltd. et Stewart Roden Motors entre 2023 et 2024. Ces interventions permettent à la voiture de présenter aujourd’hui un superbe état mécanique et esthétique, confirmé par une documentation exhaustive et un dossier technique détaillé. Selon son vendeur, cette Ferrari a roulé moins de cinq heures depuis sa dernière rénovation complète.
La vente de cette Ferrari s’accompagne d’un important lot de pièces détachées – notamment des roues, des éléments de carrosserie et des outils dédiés – ainsi que d’un manuel technique Michelotto et des documents d’homologation de l’arceau de sécurité FIA, des éléments rarement proposés avec les GTE issues d’équipes clientes. Une liste complète des pièces de rechange est disponible sur demande. L’intérêt de ce châssis 2868 réside en outre dans son éligibilité à des séries d’endurance modernes de premier plan telles que les Masters Endurance Legends, les Endurance Racing Legends et le Club Competizioni GT de Ferrari, qui figure désormais parmi les événements officiels de soutien lors de certaines manches du championnat WEC.
Le châssis 2868 est une Ferrari 458 GTE très originale, qui dispose d’une documentation parfaite, affiche un palmarès avec des victoires en championnat et une belle performance au Mans, et est accompagnée d’un ensemble de pièces détachées exceptionnel. À ce titre, cette voiture figure parmi les Ferrari GT de compétition les plus recherchées et polyvalentes de son époque.

Estimate EUR 2.800.000 to 4.000.000 EUR
Chassis No. 3816
All details and pictures HERE at RM Sotheby’s
- Notably competed under Ferrari’s legendary race number “51”, signifying the lead Scuderia Ferrari works car in endurance racing
- 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship-winning car, driven by future 24 Hours of Le Mans winners James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi
- Three-time LM GTE Pro class winner at the 6 Hours of Nürburgring, Circuit of the Americas, and Fuji
- Scored four further LM GTE Pro podium finishes, securing the GT World Endurance Drivers’ Championship for Calado and Pier Guidi
- Instrumental in sealing the GT World Endurance Manufacturers’ Championship for Ferrari and the Endurance Trophy for LMGTE Pro Teams for AF Corse
- Later Campaigned by Singapore-based Clearwater Racing in six rounds of the 2018 and 2019 WEC seasons, earning the team a podium finish in a LM GTE Am class win
- Ideally suited to the myriad GT Revival events for which it is eligible, as well as standalone events such as Ferrari Club Competizione GT, Le Mans Classic Legend, and Daytona Classic 24 Hour
First introduced in 2016, the Ferrari 488 GT3 and its GTE derivative featured a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged Type-F154 V-8 engine developing around 600 horsepower, and a light-yet-sturdy aluminium chassis with integral roll cage. In GTE specification, the car became a mainstay of both the World Endurance and IMSA SportsCar Championships. Both the 488 GT3 and GTE have since scored more than 500 international race wins to become Ferrari’s most successful competition design ever.
The entry for the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship—and its LM GTE Pro class in particular—represented arguably its strongest since the series’ inception in 2012. As incumbent GT Manufacturers’ Champion, Ferrari returned with two Works-supported, AF Corse-prepared 488 GTEs, while there were further two-car factory teams from Ford, Porsche, and Aston Martin. The GT ranks included drivers such as Kévin Estre, Alessandro Pier Guidi, Darren Turner, and Andy Priaulx, underlining the collective commitment from all manufacturers involved.
AF Corse’s effort consisted of chassis numbered 3816—to be driven by James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi—and 3818, which was entrusted to Sam Bird and Davide Rigon. The former would bare the fabled race number 51, historically reserved for each season’s lead Ferrari endurance car, and it is this car which RM Sotheby’s is delighted to offer for sale here. The season started strongly for Calado and Pier Guidi, with the Silverstone and Spa Francorchamps Championship rounds yielding two 2nd-placed finishes in LM GTE Pro. At Le Mans, the pair were joined by experienced Ferrari GT racer Michele Rugolo, although a promising qualifying performance—in which they missed class pole by just 0.2 seconds—was followed by a troubled race in which they finished only 11th in LM GTE Pro and 46th overall.
If Le Mans had proved challenging, the remainder of the season for Calado and Pier Guidi was nothing less than stellar. Class wins at Nürburgring, Austin, and Fuji coincided with mid-season slumps for both the lead Ganassi-run Ford of Priaulx and Tincknell with teammates Bird and Rigon; a 3rd place in Shanghai and 2nd in Bahrain eventually secured them the GT Drivers’ Championship. Additionally, Ferrari won a second consecutive GT Manufacturers’ title, while AF Corse took home the Teams’ crown.
For 2018, ownership of chassis 3816 passed to Singapore-based GT squad Clearwater Racing. Team owner Weng Sun Mok was joined in the car by Japanese GT specialist Keita Sawa with Irish driver Matt Griffin; the trio duly contested five WEC rounds that year. The seasonal high point came in the 6 Hours of Spa Francorchamps, in which they finished an excellent 3rd in LM GTE Am, although their 8th in class—and 35th overall—in the car’s second consecutive Le Mans start was similarly noteworthy. Chassis 3816’s competitive swansong was in the 2019 Sebring 1000 Miles, although a qualifying crash cruelly sidelined the car from its final race.
Acquired by the consigning owner in 2021, chassis 3816 has benefits from an overhaul by its original factory-blessed constructors Michelotto Engineering at the company’s illustrious workshops in Padova, Italy. Boasting World Championship-winning, ex-Works status and unimpeached provenance, this car represents a spectacular, historic, and highly competitive prospective entry into the myriad events for which it is eligible.

For sale by RM Sotheby’s PARIS Sale – 2003 Ferrari 360 GTC
For sale by RM Sotheby’s PARIS Auction – 2003 Ferrari 550 GTC
Estimate 2.200.000 to 2.600.000 Euro
All details and more pitures HERE at RM Sotheby’s
- One of two 550 chassis commissioned by Ferrari and developed by N.Technology
- Initially retained by the Ferrari factory and loaned to French team JMB Racing
- Entered four rounds of the 2003 FIA GT Championship; led the 24 Hours of Spa
- Victorious in the GTM class of the Italian Hillclimb Championship in 2005, 2006, and 2014
- Ferrari Classiche certified in 2021; retains its matching-numbers chassis, gearbox, and engine
- Eligible for Ferrari Club Competizione GT events and prestigious historic race series including Le Mans Classic Legends, Endurance Racing Legends, and Masters Endurance Legends
As Ferrari prioritised its Formula 1 and prototype sportscar programmes at the turn of the millennium, it was left to privateers to evolve the 550 Maranello road car into a bona fide racer. Most notably, the resulting 550 GTs built by Prodrive would secure class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, American Le Mans Series, and seal the FIA GT Championship crown.
Seeing the accolades pour in, Ferrari sought to take development of the succeeding 575M competition car in-house. In anticipation, it commissioned Italian team N.Technology to take over the Italtecnica project and build a brace of 550 GTCs to effectively serve as intermediate test beds. Both were loaned by the factory to loyal customer squad JMB Racing and entered select rounds of the 2003 FIA GT Championship.
Offered here is chassis number 2102, which made its bow in the fifth meeting of the season at Donington Park. Shared by drivers Philipp Peter and Fabio Babini, the GTC started 14th before finishing 18th overall (10th in class). The car’s next outing came in the 24 Hours of Spa. The fickle Ardennes weather added a dose of unpredictability, allowing chassis 2102 to climb from 11th in qualifying into 1st. Remarkably, the 550 would lead for six hours before dropping to 2nd. It ultimately retired with an engine issue.
The car returned for the next two rounds, classifying 19th at Anderstorp prior to another glitch with the V-12 that meant chassis 2102 failed to start at Oschersleben. Thereafter, JMB Racing switched to the replacement N.Technology-built 575 GTC. But that is far from where chassis 2102’s story ends.
The 550 GTC was returned to Ferrari and then sold to Piero Nappi in 2005. In his hands, the car competed extensively in the Italian Speed Hill Climb Championship over the next decade, achieving some 40 group or class wins and notching the GTM class title in 2005. Underlining the significance of these achievements, the car’s accompanying history file includes a letter from Jean Todt, then the Ferrari CEO and Race Division General Manager, writing to offer Nappi his heartfelt congratulations.
Acquired by a new owner in 2017, the car was the subject of a sympathetic restoration and duly returned to its 2003 24 Hours of Spa livery. Significantly, both the V-12 and sequential transmission were rebuilt; the former by Autotecnica Motori in 2016 and the latter by acknowledged Hewland expert Steve Bannon in 2017. Accordingly, coveted Ferrari Classiche certification was awarded in March 2021, with the 550 GTC noted to retain its matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox.
Since purchased by the consignor, the Ferrari benefits from a sympathetic recommissioning by Italtecnica in Turin and Toni Auto of Maranello. This included a full engine check, timing belts replacement, another transmission rebuild, new clutch, alignment of the engine, propshaft, and transaxle, new brakes, and the fitment of a full engine management system by MoTec. A Magneti Marelli system accompanies the car. The Ferrari subsequently completed a series of shakedown tests with Andrea Montermini, prior to its appearance at Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali celebrations at Imola in October 2024. The car was also used with success and without issue during the Challenge and GT Days at Monza in May 2025, followed by another appearance at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali at Mugello in October. Having had the pleasure of driving the 550 GTC on several occasions, the RM Sotheby’s team of specialists confirm how approachable and pleasant the car is to drive.
Originally owned by the factory, this 550 GTC is a fascinating piece of Ferrari competition history. Supplied with a spare parts package that includes two sets of wheels and tyres plus a carbon fibre prop shaft, chassis 2102 is made all the more appealing courtesy of its eligibility for the variety of increasingly popular young-timer GT historic race series in addition to making for a welcome entrant into concours and display events.

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.

Ferrari’s longstanding practice of advancing its most sophisticated technologies through tightly focused experimental platforms reached a defining milestone with the introduction of the XX Programme in 2005. Conceived not as a homologated road car nor as a competition machine, the FXX was envisioned as a pure development tool, created to accelerate engineering progress by pairing factory-controlled testing with real-time driver input, gathered under precisely managed track conditions.
Ferrari made its intentions clear from the outset. As General Manager Amedeo Felisa stated during development, “The FXX will not be raced. It is a test car only.” That principle defined the XX Programme. Each FXX was equipped with an extensive telemetry suite capable of recording hundreds of parameters, including throttle and brake inputs, steering angle, suspension movement, tire temperature, load distribution, and thermal behavior across the chassis. After every session, owners were debriefed in a manner similar to Formula 1 drivers, reviewing their data directly with Ferrari engineers. It was an unprecedented partnership between factory and client, transforming owners from customers into active participants in Ferrari’s research effort.
Although the FXX shared the broad structural layout of the Enzo, it was essentially a new machine. Its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-12 produced 800 hp – made possible through redesigned cylinder heads, revised intake geometry, new cam profiles, and a significantly freer flowing exhaust system. The updated F1-style gearbox delivered remarkably rapid shifts. As Motor Trend noted in its January 2006 review, “the shifts are so fast, you don’t feel them as much as hear them,” a comment that captured the mechanical character of the car. The carbon fiber and Nomex honeycomb monocoque remained, but stripped of all comforts, and paired with race developed suspension, carbon ceramic Brembo brakes, and bespoke 19″ Bridgestone racing slicks created solely for the programme.
From inside the cockpit, the sensation was even more extreme. Motor Trend described the view through the wraparound glass as “a windshield curved like a fishbowl, and we are the fish,” a vivid illustration of the FXX’s immersive, transparent environment. Even the act of starting the car was dramatic. The same review reported that “the 6.3 liter V-12 fires to life with a sound so violent the people standing along the pit wall actually recoil.” Nothing about the FXX was softened or muted – every detail was engineered for response and immediacy.
Performance confirmed the success of this experimental approach. Ferrari estimated that the FXX was six seconds per lap faster than the Enzo around Fiorano – a staggering figure that demonstrated how far the programme had advanced the platform. Thousands of test kilometers, including sessions driven by Michael Schumacher, yielded a wealth of data that informed the next major step forward, the FXX Evoluzione.
Introduced in 2007, the Evoluzione was a comprehensive refinement of the original concept and improved virtually every system. The V-12 now produced 860 hp at 9,500 rpm, supported by revised internals and updated engine management software. The F1- style gearbox received new programming that reduced upshift times to 60 milliseconds and featured revised gear ratios tailored to the expanded power band.
Aerodynamics were significantly reworked. A reshaped rear wing, revised extractors, the addition of a small “nolder” (a sharp aerodynamic lip used to control airflow), and extensive underbody revisions increased overall aerodynamic efficiency by about 25%. These changes produced greater downforce, improved high speed stability, and allowed a more precise turn in response. Ferrari also updated the suspension geometry to reduce tire wear and enhance balance through demanding corners, while revised cooling channels promoted more consistent braking performance during extended sessions.
The Evo also introduced an expanded telemetry system with new channels for steering angle, brake pump pressure, and broader mapping of dynamic loads. This allowed Ferrari engineers to study behavior with exceptional detail and made the Evo not only faster but more insightful as a development instrument. Many concepts tested through the FXX and Evo would influence Ferrari’s future hypercars, most notably the LaFerrari and subsequent XX models, including the 599XX and the FXX K.
Production of the FXX was extremely limited, with Ferrari building approximately 30 examples between 2005 and 2008. Most of these cars were later upgraded to Evoluzione specification when Ferrari introduced the Evo package in 2008. Only a very small number, however, are believed to have been completed by the factory directly in Evo form rather than converted from earlier FXX builds. Exact figures have never been formally released by Ferrari, but the consensus among marque historians is that factory- born Evoluzione cars represent a tiny fraction of overall FXX production and remain among the rarest and most technically significant models in the programme.
This Ferrari FXX Evo is one of the very small number of cars originally built in Evoluzione specification rather than converted from an FXX. Originally delivered in Rosso (Red) with a minimalist racing interior trimmed in Nero (Black) Alcantara, this car was later refinished in black, matching the consignor’s FXX K Evo (also offered in this sale, Lot 40) as well as the black FXX presented to Michael Schumacher in September 2006 to mark his impending retirement from Formula 1.
As part of Ferrari’s exclusive XX Programme, this FXX has enjoyed measured and documented use in the factory’s controlled test-driver environment. Its early programme participation is recorded in 2008, when it logged 180 km at Mugello, 58 km at the Nürburgring, and 166 km during the Finali Mondiali at Mugello, for a total of 404 km that year. After a period of inactivity, the car returned to XX events in 2019, accumulating 112 km across Fiorano, Vallelunga, and the Finali Mondiali. Most recently, the car completed a further 9 km at Fiorano in May 2025.
The car received major factory servicing at Ferrari in June this year totaling more than €24.800, with documentation on file. This example represents one of the rarest and most coveted forms of Ferrari’s XX experimentation, and is accompanied by wheeled accessory boxes. Factory-born Evoluzione cars seldom appear on the market, and this example offers a compelling opportunity to acquire one of Maranello’s most exclusive and technically ambitious machines – an automobile that encapsulates the developmental DNA of Ferrari’s modern hypercar era and stands among the defining achievements of the XX Programme.
Ferrari a presque toujours fait progresser ses technologies les plus avancées à l’aide de plateformes expérimentales extrêmement concentrées. Cette philosophie a franchi un cap déterminant avec le lancement du programme XX en 2005. Conçue non pas comme une voiture homologuée pour la route ni comme une machine de compétition, la FXX était destinée à être un pur outil de développement, créé pour accélérer les progrès techniques en associant des séances d’essais contrôlées par l’usine à des retours en temps réel des pilotes, collectés sur des conditions de piste déterminées avec précision.
Ferrari a clairement exprimé ses intentions dès le départ. Son directeur général, Amedeo Felisa, l’a expliqué noir sur blanc pendant son développement : « La FXX ne sera pas alignée en compétition. C’est uniquement une voiture d’essai. » C’est ce principe qui a défini le Programme XX. Chaque FXX était équipée d’un vaste ensemble de capteurs de télémétrie capables d’enregistrer des centaines de paramètres, notamment la pression sur l’accélérateur et le frein, l’angle de braquage, les mouvements de la suspension, la température des pneus, la répartition de l’appui et le comportement thermique sur l’ensemble du châssis. À l’issue de chaque séance, les propriétaires étaient débriefés de la même manière que des pilotes de Formule 1. Ils examinaient leurs données directement aux côtés des ingénieurs Ferrari. Il s’agissait d’un partenariat inédit entre l’usine et ses clients. Les propriétaires n’étaient alors plus seulement des clients, mais devenaient des acteurs à part entière du processus de recherche de Ferrari.
Bien que la FXX reprenne une grande partie de la structure de l’Enzo, il s’agissait quasiment d’une nouvelle machine. Son V12 atmosphérique de 6,2 litres produisait 800 ch, grâce à des culasses repensées, à une admission à la géométrie révisée, à des arbres à cames au profil retravaillé et à un système d’échappement nettement plus libre. La boîte de vitesses modernisée de style F1 permettait des changements de vitesses d’une rapidité remarquable. Comme l’a indiqué le magazine Motor Trend dans son essai de janvier 2006 : « les passages de vitesses sont si rapides qu’on ne les ressent pas autant qu’on les entend », un commentaire qui illustrait parfaitement le caractère mécanique de la voiture. La monocoque en fibre de carbone et en nid d’abeille Nomex a été maintenue. En revanche, tous les éléments de confort ont été retirés et la voiture a été équipée d’une suspension développée pour la compétition, de freins Brembo en carbone céramique, et de pneus slicks de course Bridgestone 19 pouces sur mesure créés uniquement pour le programme.
À l’intérieur, les sensations étaient encore plus extrêmes. Pour décrire la vue à travers le pare-brise enveloppant, Motor Trend évoquait un « un pare-brise courbé comme un aquarium dans lequel le poisson, c’est vous », ce qui illustre à merveille l’environnement immersif et transparent de la FXX. Même le simple fait de démarrer la voiture était théâtral. Dans le même essai, on pouvait lire que « le V12 de 6,3 litres s’anime avec un son si violent que les personnes situées le long du muret des stands sont littéralement repoussées ». Rien dans la FXX n’était adouci ou atténué, chaque détail étant pensé pour la réactivité et l’instantanéité.
Les performances sont venues confirmer le succès de cette approche expérimentale. Selon Ferrari, la FXX parvenait à boucler un tour du circuit de Fiorano en six secondes de moins que l’Enzo, un résultat stupéfiant qui montrait à quel point le programme avait fait progresser cette plateforme. Des milliers de kilomètres d’essai, notamment des séances avec Michael Schumacher au volant, ont généré une somme colossale de données qui ont guidé la grande étape suivante, la FXX Evoluzione.
Lancée en 2007, l’Evoluzione représentait une amélioration complète du concept original qui portait sur pratiquement tous les systèmes. La puissance du V12 était portée à 860 ch à 9 500 tr/min, grâce à des composants internes révisés et à un logiciel de gestion moteur mis à jour. La boîte de vitesses F1 a été reprogrammée pour réduire les temps de passage à 60 millisecondes et les rapports ont été modifiés pour correspondre à la plage de puissance élargie.
L’aérodynamique a été significativement retravaillée. L’aileron arrière a été redessiné et les extracteurs révisés, un petit becquet (un appendice aérodynamique destiné à contrôler le flux d’air) a été ajouté. Enfin, d’importantes modifications du plancher ont été réalisées pour une augmentation globale de 25 % de l’efficacité aérodynamique. Ces améliorations ont permis d’augmenter l’appui, de renforcer la stabilité à haute vitesse et d’obtenir un comportement plus précis en virage. Ferrari a également revu la géométrie des suspensions pour réduire l’usure des pneus et améliorer l’équilibre dans les virages exigeants. En outre, une modification des écopes de refroidissement a permis des performances de freinage plus constantes lors des séances prolongées.
L’Evo incluait également un système de télémétrie étendu, comprenant de nouveaux canaux pour l’angle de braquage, la pression de freinage et une cartographie élargie des charges dynamiques. Les ingénieurs Ferrari pouvaient ainsi étudier le comportement de la voiture avec un niveau de détail exceptionnel. L’Evo était alors non seulement plus rapide, mais aussi plus utile en tant qu’instrument de développement. De nombreux concepts testés grâce à la FXX et à la version Evo allaient influencer les futures hypercars de Ferrari, notamment la LaFerrari et les modèles XX suivants, dont la 599XX et la FXX K.
La production de la FXX a été extrêmement limitée puisque Ferrari n’en a fabriqué qu’une trentaine d’exemplaires entre 2005 et 2008. La plupart de ces voitures ont ensuite reçu des modifications correspondant à la version Evoluzione lorsque Ferrari a lancé le pack Evo, en 2008. Néanmoins, seulement une poignée d’exemplaires auraient directement été construits dans la version Evo, au lieu de partir de conversions de FXX originelles. Ferrari n’a jamais publié de chiffres exacts, mais les historiens de la marque s’accordent sur le fait que les modèles Evoluzione d’usine représentent une infime fraction de la production totale de FXX et constituent encore aujourd’hui des modèles parmi les plus rares et les plus techniquement significatifs du programme.
Cette Ferrari FXX Evo fait ainsi partie des très rares voitures construites dès le départ selon les spécifications Evoluzione à la différence des conversions à partir d’une FXX standard. Livrée à l’origine dans une teinte Rosso (rouge) associée à un intérieur de course minimaliste garni d’Alcantara Nero (noir), cette machine a ensuite été repeinte en noir, pour correspondre à la FXX K Evo du transitaire (également proposée dans cette vente, Lot 40) ainsi qu’à la FXX noire offerte à Michael Schumacher en septembre 2006 à l’occasion de sa retraite imminente de la Formule 1.
Dans le cadre de l’exclusif Programme XX de Ferrari, cette FXX a bénéficié d’une utilisation modérée et documentée lors d’essais contrôlés par l’usine. Les archives indiquent que sa première participation au programme remonte à 2008. Elle a alors parcouru 180 km au Mugello, puis 58 km au Nürburgring et 166 km lors des Finali Mondiali au Mugello, pour un total de 404 km cette année-là. Après une période d’inactivité, la voiture a retrouvé le Programme XX en 2019, accumulant 112 km sur les circuits de Fiorano et Vallelunga et lors des Finali Mondiali. Plus récemment, elle a parcouru 9 km supplémentaires à Fiorano en mai 2025.
La voiture a fait l’objet d’une révision majeure d’usine chez Ferrari en juin dernier, pour un montant total de plus de 24 800 €, comme l’attestent les documents joints au dossier. Cet exemplaire représente l’une des machines les plus rares et les plus recherchées du programme expérimental XX de Ferrari ; il est accompagné de boîtes d’accessoires montées sur roues. Les modèles Evoluzione d’usine apparaissent rarement sur le marché, et cet exemplaire offre une opportunité exceptionnelle d’acquérir l’une des voitures les plus exclusives et techniquement ambitieuses de Maranello, une automobile qui incarne pleinement l’ADN de Ferrari en matière de développement de ses hypercars modernes et figure parmi les réalisations majeures du Programme XX.

Ferrari’s XX Programme has long represented the company’s most advanced and uncompromising expression of research and development, an arena where Maranello removes every constraint of road homologation and competitive regulation to explore the outer limits of performance. Beginning with the FXX in 2005 and later expanded with the 599XX, the programme invited a select number of Ferrari’s most committed clients to participate directly in vehicle development through exclusive, factory-supported track sessions. In these controlled environments, engineers gathered real time telemetry while owners functioned as genuine test drivers, shaping future innovations.
When Ferrari introduced hybrid technology into its road-going flagship LaFerrari, it was inevitable that this new frontier would form the basis of the next XX model. The result was the FXX K, which Ferrari described as “the most extreme expression of LaFerrari,” a clear signal that the car was designed to push beyond anything previously achieved in the programme.
Although derived conceptually from LaFerrari, the FXX K was engineered from the beginning as a track-only prototype without compromise. Ferrari stated that “the FXX K was designed exclusively for track use and is not intended for competition or road homologation,” an important distinction that freed the engineers to pursue absolute performance. The familiar 6.3-liter V-12 was extensively reworked with new camshafts, mechanical valve actuation, redesigned intake ducts, and a dedicated exhaust system “created exclusively for track use.”
Paired with the HY-KERS energy recovery system, the powertrain delivered extraordinary output. As Ferrari confirmed, “Total power is 1050 hp, 860 from the V-12 engine and 190 from the electric motor.” This hybrid system was not a fuel-saving tool, but a dynamic performance enhancer, allowing instantaneous torque fill, regenerative braking, and strategic deployment tailored to circuit conditions. The driver could select from four hybrid modes via a steering wheel mounted manettino, with Ferrari noting the options as “Qualify, Long Run, Manual Boost, and Fast Charge,” each suited to a specific performance requirement.
The FXX K’s aerodynamic package represented another major departure from its road-going sibling. Ferrari emphasized that the model “adopts a series of active and passive aerodynamic solutions that ensure exceptional downforce and efficiency on the track.” The car employed a deep front splitter, vertical vortex generators, expanded underbody channels, and a distinctive twin fin rear structure supporting an elevated spoiler element. These features collectively delivered dramatic aerodynamic load across a wide speed range. The chassis, suspension, brakes, and tire construction were each tuned to operate with the demands of both high downforce and hybrid assistance, resulting in a machine that was both violent in acceleration and remarkably composed through high speed corners.
In keeping with the philosophy of the XX Programme, owners of the FXX K participated in exclusive track events organized by Ferrari’s Corse Clienti division. Ferrari described the programme succinctly, stating that it “allows a small group of Clients to become real Ferrari test drivers.” At these events, engineers downloaded telemetry, assessed battery behavior, monitored mechanical systems under extended stress, and provided detailed feedback to drivers. Each session served as both a development test and a driver training exercise, reinforcing the collaborative nature of the programme.
After two seasons of development and thousands of kilometers of running, Ferrari introduced the next evolution of the platform, the FXX K Evo, in 2017. The Evo package represented a comprehensive advancement of the original FXX K. The most visible updates centered on aerodynamics. Ferrari created a new fixed rear wing element mounted above a dual fin structure, paired with a completely reprofiled rear diffuser and a sharper, more aggressive front section. These revisions produced staggering aerodynamic benefits. Ferrari disclosed that the FXX K Evo “generates 640 kg of downforce at 200 km/h,” a figure comparable to that achieved by contemporary GT race cars. The company also stated that “the Evolution package increases overall downforce by 23 percent compared to the standard FXX K,” while delivering roughly 75 percent more downforce than LaFerrari.
Weight reduction was another key component of the Evo update. Through more extensive use of carbon fiber in the wings, underbody, and cockpit structures, Ferrari trimmed mass compared with the original FXX K. The hybrid control systems were recalibrated to optimize torque delivery under the increased aerodynamic load, and the differential, traction control, stability logic, and energy recovery algorithms were each refined to maintain balance at higher cornering speeds. The steering wheel was redesigned with a layout inspired by Formula 1, incorporating additional controls for hybrid management and chassis settings. The cockpit display was updated to provide clearer information on battery charge state, energy deployment, and real time telemetry.
Although Ferrari has not disclosed exact production figures for the FXX K or FXX K Evo, consistent with the secrecy maintained around the XX Programme, most authoritative sources estimate that approximately 40 examples of the FXX K were produced, with the majority later upgraded to Evo specification once the package was introduced in 2017. A small number of cars are believed to have been assembled directly in Evo form by the factory. Regardless of the precise total, the FXX K Evo remains one of the rarest and most advanced experimental models in Ferrari’s history, and represents the pinnacle of hybrid era development within the programme.
Finished in Nero (Black) over a Nero (Black) Alcantara interior, this particular Ferrari FXX K Evo example is particularly notable, as one of the very few FXX K cars completed by Ferrari directly in Evo specification rather than converted from an earlier build. As such, it represents the ultimate and most advanced expression of the model as conceived within the XX Programme. Remarkably, this factory-born Evo remains in exceptionally preserved condition, having never participated in any XX Programme events. It showed just 95 km at the time of cataloguing, all at Fiorano – 80 km from its 2018 shakedown and another 15 km logged during its March 2025 Maranello maintenance visit. Nonetheless, it received an extensive servicing by Ferrari in July 2025, with invoices on file totaling over €145,000.
As a model, the FXX K Evo stands at the convergence of Ferrari’s Formula 1-derived hybrid technology and its most advanced road-car research. It unites a naturally aspirated V-12 with electric torque enhancement, merges computational aerodynamics with immense mechanical downforce, and pairs driver involvement with a continuous stream of telemetry analysis. More than any previous XX model, the FXX K Evo demonstrates Ferrari’s conviction that the future of extreme performance rests in the seamless integration of powertrain innovation, energy management, aerodynamics, and advanced control systems.
As offered here, including wheeled accessory boxes, this Evo would make an outstanding acquisition for any supercar enthusiast or devoted marque aficionado. Its next caretaker can expect a warm welcome at Ferrari’s marque-focused concours d’elegance and Corse Clienti events, or simply explore the car’s remarkable capabilities on circuit. It offers what must be an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an essentially new example of Ferrari’s most sophisticated hybrid-era development prototype.
Le Programme XX de Ferrari représente depuis longtemps l’expression la plus évoluée et radicale des efforts de recherche et développement de la marque, un terrain de jeu sur lequel Maranello s’affranchit de toutes les contraintes liées à une homologation routière ou aux réglementations sportives pour explorer les limites extrêmes de la performance. Dans le cadre de ce programme, qui a commencé en 2005 avec la FXX avant de s’élargir avec la 599XX, un nombre limité de clients parmi les plus fidèles du Cheval cabré étaient invités à participer directement à la mise au point des véhicules dans le cadre de séances exclusives sur circuit avec l’assistance de l’usine. Dans ces environnements contrôlés, les ingénieurs collectaient les données de télémétrie en temps réel tandis que les propriétaires agissaient comme de véritables pilotes d’essai et préparaient les futures innovations.
Lorsque Ferrari a lancé la technologie hybride avec sa LaFerrari, son modèle routier phare, cette nouvelle frontière allait irrémédiablement constituer le nouveau point de départ pour la prochaine itération du Programme XX. La FXX K était née. Pour Ferrari, il s’agissait de « l’expression la plus extrême de la LaFerrari », un signal clair annonçant une voiture conçue pour dépasser tout ce qui avait été réalisé jusqu’alors avec ce programme.
Même si le concept s’inspirait de la LaFerrari, la FXX K a été conçue dès le départ comme un prototype sans compromis, exclusivement réservé à la piste. Ferrari a expliqué que « la FXX K a été pensée uniquement pour une utilisation sur circuit et n’est pas destinée à la compétition ou à une homologation routière », une caractéristique clé qui a permis aux ingénieurs de rechercher la performance absolue. Le bien connu V12 de 6,3 litres a été largement retravaillé : nouveaux arbres à cames, actionneurs mécaniques pour la levée des soupapes, conduits d’admission repensés et système d’échappement dédié « créé exclusivement pour un usage sur piste ».
Avec le système de récupération d’énergie HY-KERS en complément, le groupe motopropulseur atteignait une puissance exceptionnelle. La marque l’a confirmé : « La puissance totale est de 1050 ch, 860 pour le V12 et 190 pour le moteur électrique. » Ce système hybride n’était pas destiné à réduire la consommation de carburant, mais à améliorer les performances dynamiques en apportant un couple instantané, un freinage régénératif et un déploiement stratégique de la puissance adapté à l’utilisation sur circuit. Le pilote pouvait choisir entre quatre modes hybrides à l’aide du manettino installé sur le volant. Ferrari proposait les options « qualification », « long relais », « boost manuel » et « charge rapide », chacune étant adaptée à un besoin de performance particulier.
Le package aérodynamique de la FXX K apportait lui aussi une autre rupture majeure par rapport au modèle routier dont elle était inspirée. Ferrari a souligné que ce modèle adoptait « une série de solutions aérodynamiques actives et passives garantissant un appui aérodynamique et une efficacité exceptionnels sur la piste ». À l’avant, la voiture faisait appel à une imposante lame, associée à des générateurs de vortex verticaux, à des canaux élargis sous le plancher et à une structure arrière spécifique avec deux ailerons complétant un spoiler surélevé. Mises bout à bout, ces caractéristiques assuraient une charge aérodynamique impressionnante sur une large plage de vitesses. Le châssis, les suspensions, les freins et la conception des pneus étaient également tous réglés pour fonctionner malgré les exigences provoquées par l’appui élevé et l’hybridation. La machine qui en résultait était à la fois agressive dans ses accélérations et remarquablement maîtrisée dans les virages à grande vitesse.
Fidèles à l’esprit du Programme XX, les propriétaires de FXX K ont participé à des événements exclusifs sur circuit organisés par la division Corse Clienti de Ferrari. Dans une description rapide de ce programme, la marque affirmait qu’il permettait « à un petit groupe de clients de devenir de véritables pilotes d’essai Ferrari ». Lors de ces événements, les ingénieurs téléchargeaient les données de télémétrie, évaluaient le comportement des batteries, surveillaient les systèmes mécaniques soumis à des contraintes prolongées et fournissaient des retours détaillés aux pilotes. Chaque séance servait à la fois de test pour le développement des modèles et de cours de formation pour les pilotes, ce qui renforçait la nature collaborative du programme.
Après deux saisons de développement et des milliers de kilomètres parcourus, Ferrari a lancé, en 2017, l’évolution suivante de cette plateforme, la FXX K Evo. La version Evo apportait des progrès sur tous les plans par rapport à la FXX K originale. Les améliorations les plus visibles portaient notamment sur l’aérodynamique. Ferrari a créé un nouvel aileron arrière fixe monté au-dessus d’une structure à double dérive et associé à un diffuseur arrière au profil entièrement revu et à une section avant plus tranchante et agressive. Les bénéfices apportés par ces modifications sur le plan aérodynamique étaient impressionnants. D’après Ferrari, la FXX K Evo « génère 640 kg d’appui aérodynamique à 200 km/h », un chiffre comparable à ce que produisent les GT de compétition contemporaines. La marque a également déclaré que « le pack Evolution augmente l’appui aérodynamique global de 23 % par rapport à la FXX K standard », tout en générant environ 75 % d’appui en plus par rapport à une LaFerrari.
L’allègement a été un autre point clé des améliorations de l’Evo. En utilisant plus largement la fibre de carbone dans les ailes, les soubassements et les structures du cockpit, Ferrari a réduit le poids par rapport à la FXX K d’origine. Les systèmes de commande hybrides ont été recalibrés pour optimiser la distribution au regard de la charge aérodynamique supplémentaire, et les algorithmes de différentiel, de contrôle de traction, de logique de stabilité et de récupération d’énergie ont tous été affinés pour maintenir un comportement équilibré à des vitesses de virage plus élevées. Le volant a été modifié et adoptait une disposition inspirée de la Formule 1, intégrant des commandes supplémentaires pour la gestion hybride et les réglages du châssis. L’affichage dans le cockpit a été actualisé pour fournir des informations plus claires sur l’état de charge de la batterie, le déploiement d’énergie et la télémétrie en temps réel.
Même si, en raison du secret qui entoure le Programme XX, Ferrari n’a divulgué aucun chiffre précis concernant la production de la FXX K ou de la FXX K Evo, la plupart des sources dignes de confiance estiment à environ 40 exemplaires le nombre de FXX K fabriquées, la majorité d’entre elles ayant ensuite été actualisées selon les spécifications Evo après le lancement de ce pack, en 2017. Quelques voitures seulement auraient été assemblées directement en version Evo par l’usine. Indépendamment du nombre total d’exemplaires, la FXX K Evo reste l’un des modèles expérimentaux les plus rares et les plus avancés de l’histoire de Ferrari. Elle constitue le paroxysme du développement de l’ère hybride dans le cadre de ce programme.
De couleur Nero (noir) associée à un intérieur Alcantara Nero (noir), cet exemplaire particulier de Ferrari FXX K Evo est particulièrement remarquable, car il s’agit de l’une des très rares FXX K fabriquées directement par Ferrari selon les spécifications de la version Evo et non pas d’un modèle converti a posteriori. Elle représente donc l’expression ultime et la plus avancée du modèle tel qu’il a été conçu au sein du Programme XX. Fait remarquable, cette Evo d’usine soit restée dans un état aussi exceptionnellement préservé, car elle n’a jamais participé à aucun événement du Programme XX. Son compteur n’indiquait que 95 km au moment du catalogage, tous parcourus sur le circuit de Fiorano, à savoir 80 km pour ses premiers réglages en 2018 et 15 km supplémentaires réalisés lors de sa visite d’entretien à Maranello en mars 2025. Elle a tout de même bénéficié d’un entretien significatif chez Ferrari en juillet 2025, comme l’attestent des factures d’un montant total de plus de 145 000 €.
La FXX K Evo est un modèle situé au point de rencontre entre la technologie hybride dérivée des monoplaces de Formule 1 de Ferrari et les recherches les plus en pointe sur les voitures de route. Le couple de son V12 atmosphérique est complété par un renfort électrique et elle fusionne l’aérodynamique calculée par ordinateur avec un colossal niveau d’appui mécanique. Enfin, elle associe les retours apportés par le pilote à un flux continu d’analyse télémétrique. Plus que tout autre modèle précédent du Programme XX, la FXX K Evo démontre la conviction claire de Ferrari : l’avenir des performances extrêmes repose sur l’intégration fluide de l’innovation en matière de motorisation, de la gestion de l’énergie, de l’aérodynamique et des systèmes de contrôle avancés.
Telle qu’elle est proposée ici, avec ses boîtes d’accessoires montées sur roues, cette Evo constitue une acquisition exceptionnelle pour tout amateur de supercars ou passionné de la marque. Son prochain gardien pourra tabler sur un accueil chaleureux lors du concours d’élégance centré sur le Cheval cabré et d’événements du service Corse Clienti, ou simplement explorer les capacités remarquables de cette voiture sur piste. Elle représente une opportunité assurément unique d’acquérir un exemplaire pratiquement neuf du prototype de développement hybride le plus sophistiqué de Ferrari.
