All details and more photos 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.

During its first season in 2011 it was first campaigned by the British Mtech team, then in 2012 and 2013 by Mtech and AF Corse in combination before in 2014 being entered solely by the renowned AF Corse team. After the busy international #3212 was raced ixtensively and with success in the Britcar Championship, winning the 2016 GT Class 1 Championship as well as the 2017 and 2018 Sprint Class 1 Championships.

The international racing history can be retrieved via the following – HERE

About the model:
When the Ferrari 458 GT3 was introduced in 2011, it replaced the F430 GT3, which had won more than 80 class championships from 2006 to 2013. Similar to its predecessor, it was designed from the ground up as a racing vehicle and constructed in association with Michelotto Automobili, the factory-backed company behind the creation of the F40 and 288 GTO as well as many other racing Ferraris.
If anything the 458 GT3 proved even more successful than its predecessor and notably took no less than six victories in the 24 hours of Spa as well as Pro-Am victories in the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
A custom-built 4.5-liter V-8 engine designed for motorsports powers the vehicle; only the engine block is shared with the 458 Italia road car. At 9,000 rpm, it generates 550 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque when the GT3 specification restrictors are fitted, and over 600 horsepower when they are not. Power is directed through a six-speed sequential race gearbox (Hewland MLS) equipped with paddle shift. The entire transmission weighs just 66 kg and, like the rest of the car, is an exercise in weight saving; With almost all carbon fiber construction, the bodywork boasts a race-optimized aerodynamic package that includes a massive rear wing, a diffuser at the back, and a splitter up front.

#3212 today:
The car was recently been repainted in its original Rosso Corsa color and equipped with a Vbox light data-logging and video system, a passenger seat, and Multimatic DSSV three-way adjustable dampers.
It also has the advantage of having been meticulously maintained by marque expects FF Corse of Silverstone, who have made sure the car is in excellent condition and prepared for racing by its new owner.

This stunning example of an Ferrari 458 GT3 is presented in a pristine condition and is ready to be sent back into active racing or as the ultimate track day tool by its next owner.
