Developed from the F430 road version, the F430 GTC is a racing car designed for the international GT2 class competition. It also competes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans event. When the Ferrari 360 GTC proved to be no longer competitive in the GT2 class, Ferrari replaced it with the more powerful F430 GTC to compete with Porsche. In 2007, Ferrari, with its F430 GTC, won the GT2 Manufacturers Cup with a clean sweep of all the GT Championships that year. It also scored a class win at the 2007 12 Hours of Sebring.
At the FIA GT2 race, cars must meet a specific minimal weight requirement and use an engine restrictor that depends on the engine displacement. Thus a special 4.0 liter V8 engine derived from the production 4.3 liter unit was mounted on the F430 GTC. The dry weight is listed at 1100 kg, still the minimum allowed, but the new GTC benefits from several features developed for the latest F1 and Challenge racing cars.
It is nearly impossible to miss this model that reproduces the version winner of the Italian Championship in 2007!
