In the new 575 GTC, developed by the Ferrari Client Racing Division, the original 575M Maranello’s natural prowess has been beautifully enhanced and adapted to meet the specific demands and regulations of the track. The massive 5997 cm3 engine can now punch out almost 600 bhp and is combined with a sequential gearbox. The tubular steel chassis has boxed sections and the double wishbone suspension features adjustable anti-dive geometry. The new car’s most outstanding characteristics include a wider track front and rear, larger brake discs, and a lighter body thanks to the use of composites. Lengthy aerodynamic development in the wind tunnel led to the adoption of the adjustable front spoiler, the split rear wing with nolder and the flat underbody fairing featuring rear diffusers.

The 575 GTC is aimed at private teams racing in the FIA GT Championship, in which the new car debuts in 2003 season finale, as well as other Grand Tourer series, such as the IMSA and GrandAm.

saleenobsessed

Remember though, the Enzo isn't GT or IMSA legal, Ferrari started as a race car company and they have since fallen with all thier speical intrest cars. Its nice to see them start to make purpose built race cars again.

That Enzo is far too sexy.

Peryn

Enzo is sexy because i know what its capable of, not necessarily from looks. That 575 on the other hand..... mmmmm.....

The GTC is ugly.

That wing is hidious

viper11885

Might not be the best looking wing, but it does serve its purpose

soccerchamp76

What is the purpose of the top air dam? The engine is in the front so what is it doing there?

my thoughts exactly. as for its overall looks - too busy for my taste. I like the Enzo better. I also prefer mid/rear engine setups on supercars, from a handling & weight dispersal perspective.

You guys are completely missing the point of this car - you will not see the Enzo racing in most racing series, you want a S7, B12, GTSR, R50 killer - this is it.... In the mean time the Enzo will be sitting on a collectors showroom floor.

I agree the wing is kind of ridiculous but the rest of the car is beautiful. This may be a dumb question, but how big are those wheels?

omega2K4

Looks like a Porsche 911 GT1 and a Ferrari 575 Maranello fucked and had a baby.

Nice. I think it's the vents that give it the viper look, but it does look pretty cool. It has a long front ahead of the wheels...

shakran

the TOP airdam? Are you talking about the roof scoop? That's to direct air into the cabin to keep the driver cooler. It's very necessary.

tritium

Oh yeah, man. This is old info. I already own 11 of these.

ferrari got out of car racing? What are those formula one cars schumi chucks about a track of a sunday all about then?

I personally like the 360 modena, it has nice curves.

Spyder_Venom

I was speaking in the sense of sedan racing. Granted the Challenge cars were factory preped (to a point) but they haven't had a preped sedan that was legal in a lot of racing series (without a big of modification) for some time. Just wanted to clairify.

the 575 GTC is sweet. Now I just need to win the lotto so I can buy it and also an Enzo, I'd die happy then

mystix

maybe the top airdam is to cool the driver who's sweating profusely after driving that car.

mbchills

i think it looks so much better without a spoiler
