La piu vincente… Ferrari 458 GT2/GTE 2012 Michelotto chassis number 2804 The 59th running of the 12 Hours of Sebring was the race debut for the Ferrari F458 Italia GT2. The long term Ferrari tuner Michelotto has developed the new GT car, which replaced the well proven Ferrari F430. The all-new F458 follows in the great traditions of Ferrari’s Gran Turismo vehicles; beautiful to look at, the mid-engined V8 produces 465 hp (with regulated air restrictors), similar in output to the F430, but almost every other area of the car is different to its predecessor. From a driver’s point of view, the main areas of development are the handling, gearbox and traction control – all of which make the car easier to drive. Ferrari /Michelotto unveiled their new GTE class racer in 2011 to take part in Championships sanctioned by ACO and FIA. Unlike the road car, which has a high-revving low-torque engine, the GT2 version only revs to 6250 rpm, but maintains a close-to-stock torque number even with the horsepower loss. The double-clutch gearbox had to be replaced, but paddle-shifting is retained since rules in 2011 allow them. So far the 458 Italia GT2 has had an impressive racing record and is for sure one of the most successful Ferrari racing cars. The car won the 2012 and 2014 GTE PRO class 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in 2015 and 2016 in GTE AM class. Win also the 2012 12 Hours of Sebring and two editions of the Petit Le Mans, the first in 2011 and 2012 @scuderiaferrari @ferrari @afcorse_official @rmsothebys @cavallinoclassic @casamarialuigia #thecarpix @michelotto_official @canossaevents @michelotto_automobili #cavallinomodena #casamarialuigia
