I'm not sure I like that...But then I suppose its a prototype and unfinished....Sure it will go like stink though. If the road car is anything to go buy it should blown the others away.

 

[GransportFan1]

i am not too sure on that, will have to see it race.

 

[dem maser]

itll be like the FXX they do.....cant buy but what a car

 

[GransportFan1]

no dem this will be different, it will be like the 430 challenge, anyone can buy it and you can keep it or Ferrari can look after it for you. With the FXX, you were invited by Ferrari to own one but they kept it for you as they would prepare the car for the next race.

 

[Andyk]

Is this a pure racing car then...So no road version.

 

[dem maser]

430 challenge?? sorry i dont think i know that one.....

 

[Andyk]

430 challenge was just a racing car I believe Dem.....The ones you see in the GT racing.

A 458 Challenge was unveiled at the Bologna motor show.
This is a racing version of the 458 Italia, the challenge retains the road car's 4.5 V8,
with 562bhp at 9000 rpm. It has modifications to the gear ratios guaranteeing higher
torque at lower revs, and uses carbonfibre to keep bodyweight to a minimum.
It is the first of Ferrari's track-only cars to have the E-Diff, and set a lap time of
1min 16.5 seconds round Fiorano.

Its going to be one **** of a racer that.
