The F355 GT3 is for sale by More details about the sale HERE at Jan B. Lühn and HERE at ClassicDriver
Model history:
Making its debut in 1995, the Ferrari F355 Challenge was designed specifically for use in the Ferrari Challenge series. The earliest F355 Challenges were road cars modified by official dealers using a conversion kit from the Ferrari factory, just like the earlier 348 Challenge. Each car was powered by a 380 horsepower, 3.5-litre V-8 engine, coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. With each passing year, Challenge cars were supplied from the factory with an increasing number of performance components, reducing the amount of conversion work required by dealers. By 1998, Ferrari took the decision to build all Challenge cars in- house, and all subsequent F355 Challenges were built at the Maranello factory.
But for the real racers, the Challenge car was not enough! As it was fully based on the road car, it was neither competitive enough for international racing series, nor was it homologated for anything else than the Ferrari Challenge series.
Before the 355 model, racing teams were able to purchase the 348 GT/ Competizione or even the ultra rare 348 GT/LM, both built by Michelotto in Padua for Ferrari. These models were fully homologated for international racing and especially the GT/LMs proved to be competitive cars, even at the 24h of Le Mans! But when the F355 came out, Ferrari (and Michelotto) were too busy building and developing the Ferrari 333SP as well as the racing versions of the F40, the F40 LM and the upgraded F40 GTE, so there was capacity to build a upgraded version of the F355 Challenge. Cristiano Michelotto also confirmed us in a recent conversation, that they very early started to work on the Ferrari 360 GT and N/GT, so the F355 was simply left out!
But Italy would not be Italy, if there were not some motorsport enthusiasts who simply wanted more, that brings us to our car …
Specific history of this car:
Among the racing teams who wanted a bit more out of the F355 model range than a Challenge version, was the Italian company Supertech of Franco Scapini and his father. Franco Scapini was a successful racing driver who even made it up to Formula 1 as a test driver and raced at the 24 hours of Le Mans in a Lancia LC2 and a Spice SE88. Scapini almost retired from racing in 1991, but a friend of his father convinced him to race in the 1997 Italian Ferrari Challenge with a brand new Ferrari F355 Challenge from the Ferrari dealership in Modena, where he finished several times on the podium. The problem was that Scapini Junior was pretty bored of these Challenge cars, they were just too slow for him. In a recent article he confesses „I did it for my father“. So the idea was born to start a new project, the Ferrari F355 GT3 by Supertech. Soon, the „Le Mans blu“ colored F355 Challenge with chassis number ZFFPR41B000104675 was completely stripped in Scapini Seniors workshop, which was an official Ferrari service point for over 30 years. Every component was checked for potential improvements. Scapini: We reconstructed everything: suspension, engine, chassis and body parts. We did everything ourselves and in the workshop at my father’s in Gallarate (VA). The car, in the end, came out really well, a real racing tool. I had done it the way I wanted and meant it.“ The car is now lighter, has an upgraded aero kit, completely revised suspension and brakes, a proper racing clutch and an engine which was good for 430hp at 9.200rpm. After a lot of testing and improving, it was time to race the car.
The car was raced successfully by Franco Scapini, both in Europe as well as the USA. The original log book that comes with the car documents the European races in France, Italy and Spain. Scapini won the GT3 class in the Italian GT championship in Misano in 1999. He also had a crazy race in the rain in Dijon that year that he remembers well: „ Next appointment, Magny Cours. With Andrea Garbagnati unavailable due to work commitments, I crew with Stefano Bucci. We arrive at Magny Cours and it’s raining, among other things I have a fever. We do the tests, everything’s OK. We qualify the car each a practice session for the respective races on Sunday: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Stefano starts in race 1 wet, goes dry, SC several times, had started 12th in class and got there…. Race 2 I start with fever, but I climb well, it’s wet, it’s not hot and this helps me. I engage in a tough battle with a Porsche in front of me. At the wheel, while I was trying to do my best, I was asking myself “who drives so fast on water?”…. In GT races there are so many of you that you don’t know who is at the wheel at that moment, then between the spray and the clouds of water you could hardly see anything. Eh nothing, at the end of the race I find out that it was Jean Pierre Jarier!!! Anyway, I retired about halfway through the race because a water hose burst when I was 8th overall and 2nd GT3. It was wet, but the car was running even though it was quite difficult to drive. Very extreme!“
Next up was the greater challenge – to race at the famous 24 hours of Daytona!
In 1999 Scapini teamed up with Pierangelo Masselli, Marco de Iturbe, Gianluca de Lorenzi and Gianni Biava to run the car under the sponsorship of Ferrari of Central Florida. After a long race they finished in 32nd position overall and 12th in class.
In 2000 the car was again entered at the 24 hours of Daytona, this time driven by Franco Scapini, ex-F1 driver Ivan Capelli, Pierangelo Masselli and Erich Prinoth under the banner of Franco Scapini Motorsport. Unfortunately they did not finish the race due to electrical problems.
In 2001 Scapini sold the car and it was once more entered at the 24 hours of Daytona under the team name Mastercar SRL. The car was driven by Anton Smekalkin, Eric van de Vyver, Christian Morini and Sergey Krylov.
Today the car is presented as it raced in 2000. The old roll bar has been carefully replaced with a new one to make the car eligible for historic racing. The engine has been overhauled just recently and the car has been serviced. Today the car is highly eligible for historic racing as the Peter Auto Series, Masters Series, historic Daytona 24, the Challenge and GT days as well the the German Ferrari Club racing series only to mention a few.
With the car comes a very comprehensive history file that includes the old Italian registration documents, the original vehicle log book as well as some nice period articles and photos.

For sale is a 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 Evo
All informations and more pictures HERE at Classic Driver
We are delighted to offer this ex-Trottet Racing 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 EVO #2634 for sale.
The Ferrari 430 GTC was introduced in 2006 to replace the 360 GTC and to race in GT2 class in the FIA GT Championship, the American Le Mans Series and the Le Mans 24 Hours. Over the next 5 years, it became Ferraris most successful GT racing car of the late 2000s, both in Europe and the USA, taking multiple GT2 Drivers & Manufacturers titles, plus GT2 class victory and podiums at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Developed in partnership by Corse Clienti and Michelotto Automobili, the 430 GTC was derived from the excellent F430 Berlinetta road car, whilst the cars 90 degree 4-litre V8 produced 450 bhp and was mated to a Hewland manual sequential gearbox and proved most reliable. Only 53 cars were produced in total from 2006 to 2011, with just 24 of these being the later and rare Evoluzione Evo cars. The Evo upgrades included refinements in aerodynamics, suspension, and weight reduction to improve race performance. These changes were more about improving speed and efficiency than altering the car’s physical dimensions.
Our car, with VIN ending on #2634, has an impressive track record and won the 2009 International Open GT Championship with Team Trottet Racing and Swiss drivers Marcel Fssler and Jol Camathias. Between 2008 and 2009, this striking F430 achieved nine pole positions, five times runner-up and twice third place on the podium (detailed race results can be found in the history section below). During this 2-year period, the car was always perfectly maintained by the Trottet racing team in collaboration with Michelotto (invoices available) who also installed the latest developments to acfhieve its 2009 Championship winning ambitions. Since its birth, #2634 has never been badly crashed, is full matching numbers retaining its original body/chassis, engine (077) and gearbox (060), and looks stunning in its striking 2009 Bull fire breathing livery.
At the end of the 2009 season, Trottet Racing stopped its activities and #2634 was sold to a private collector who displayed the car for several years at the Muse de lAutomobile in Monaco. In 2018 it was bought by French historic racer Florent Jean who only used the car sparingly. At the beginning of 2024, the car was bought by its current owner who had the car fully recommissioned for the 2024 season by renown preparer Pastorelli Classic Cars. Since then, #2634 has competed successfully in Peter Autos ERL2 race series where it has shown to be a reliable and front running car. Now offered for sale in 100% race-ready condition with technical passport, two spare sets of wheels and laptop with management software.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Championship winning, original and matching numbers Ferrari 430 GTC EVO which would sit proudly in any discerning Ferrari collection while also being eligible to race in Peter Autos Endurance Racing Legends, Masters Endurance Legends and Ferraris Club Competizione GT program where it would continue to be a welcome and competitive entry. … For more information please visit www.rmd.be.

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.

Der Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo
Der Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 ist das Ergebnis des Bestrebens von Ferrari, bestimmte Aspekte eines der erfolgreichsten Autos in der Geschichte der Marke weiter zu verfeinern. Erreicht wurde dies durch innovative Konzepte, die aus den Erfahrungen auf der Rennstrecke und dem Feedback der Teams, die mit dem 488 GT3 antreten, abgeleitet wurden. Aerodynamik, Fahrzeugdynamik, Ergonomie, Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit standen im Mittelpunkt der Entwicklung, natürlich unter Einhaltung der strengen Leistungs- und Aerodynamik-Grenzwerte des FIA-Reglements. Am Motor, einem V8-Doppelturbomotor mit einem 90-Grad-Winkel zwischen den Zylinderbänken, wurden keine Leistungssteigerungen oder Bauteiländerungen vorgenommen; er verfügt jedoch über ein neues Motormanagementsystem, das eine höhere Zuverlässigkeit und eine sanftere, präzisere Drehmomentabgabe ermöglicht. Auch die Fahrzeugelektronik wurde verbessert (einschließlich ABS und Traktionskontrolle). Im 488 GT3 Evo 2020 debütiert ein neuer Sitz, der in Zusammenarbeit mit Sabelt für den GT3 und den GTE entwickelt wurde. Dieser Sitz entspricht den neuen FIA-Sicherheitsvorschriften und ist nicht nur steifer und robuster, sondern auch 2,4 kg leichter. Die Gurte wurden mit neuen Riemen und einer neuen Schnalle ausgestattet. Das zusätzliche 24H/Endurance-Paket wurde speziell für Kunden entwickelt, die sich für Langstreckenrennen interessieren. Zur Grundausstattung gehören eine Frontstoßstange mit Zusatzscheinwerfern, Schnellkupplungen für Motoröl und Kühlmittel sowie eine Kohlefaserkupplung, Bremssättel aus dem GTE und Stahlradmuttern. Auf Wunsch sind Kühlmittelstandssensoren und Kraftstofffüllsensoren mit Warnleuchten sowie LED-Hauptscheinwerfer mit 4.500 Lumen erhältlich. Die aerodynamische Überarbeitung umfasste auch andere Teile der Front des 488 GT3, wie die Lüftungsöffnungen oben auf dem Flügel, die im Vergleich zum Vorgängermodell vergrößert wurden. Die hinteren Teile wurden komplett neu gestaltet, ebenso wie der vordere Teil der Tür, der sich nun stärker verjüngt, um die seitliche Strömung besser zu kanalisieren. Die Einführung des 488 GT3 Evo 2020 ermöglichte auch die Optimierung der Fahrdynamik, eine der Hauptstärken des 488 GT3. Zu den Änderungen gehört ein längerer Radstand, der nun mit dem des 488 GTE identisch ist. Ziel war es, die Reifennutzung zu optimieren, den Reifenverschleiß zu reduzieren und die Umstellung von GT3 auf GTE zu erleichtern. Die neuen Komponenten und Verbesserungen, die in der Version 2020 des 488 GT3 Evo eingeführt werden, sind auch als Upgrade-Kits für bestehende Fahrzeuge erhältlich. Die Erfolgsbilanz des 488 GT3 Evo ist beeindruckend. Seit seiner Einführung im Jahr 2016 und der jüngsten Evolution im Jahr 2020 hat das Modell 107 Meisterschaften, 407 gewonnene Rennen und 770 internationale Starts vorzuweisen. Diese bemerkenswerten Zahlen sind ein eindrucksvoller Beleg für die überragende Leistungsfähigkeit und Wettbewerbsstärke dieses exquisiten Rennwagens.
Der hier angebotene Ferrari 488 GT3 in der Evolution-Spezifikation wurde im Jahr 2016 an das Renn Team HubAuto Racing ausgeliefert und wurde in den folgenden Jahren von diesem erfolgreich eingesetzt. Die detaillierte Auflistung der Renneinsätze finden Sie weiter unten im Text. Im Jahr 2020 wurde der Wagen durch Ferrari mit dem EVO Paket versehen, allerdings aufgrund der Corona Pandemie nicht mehr im Rennbetrieb bewegt. Mit einer extrem geringen Laufleistung auf sämtlichen Komponenten, sowie einer umfangreichen Ausstattung in Form von Reifendrucküberwachungssystem, Trinksystem, Klimaanlage und Langstreckenbremsen ist dieser Wagen umgehend einsatzbereit. Der aktuelle Motor hat eine Laufleistung von 7.352 KM, während das Getriebe 4.157 KM zurückgelegt hat.

_____________________________________________________________________The Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo
The new 488 GT3 Evo 2020 is the result of Ferrari’s endeavour to further refine certain aspects of one of the most successful cars in the brand’s history. This has been achieved through innovative concepts derived from on-track experience and feedback from the teams competing with the 488 GT3. Aerodynamics, vehicle dynamics, ergonomics, safety and reliability were at the centre of development, naturally in compliance with the strict performance and aerodynamic limits of the FIA regulations. The engine, a twin-turbo V8 with a 90-degree angle between the cylinder banks, has not undergone any performance enhancements or component changes; however, it has a new engine management system that enables greater reliability and smoother, more precise torque delivery. The car’s electronics have also been improved (including ABS and traction control). The 488 GT3 Evo 2020 debuts a new seat developed in collaboration with Sabelt for the GT3 and GTE. This seat complies with the new FIA safety regulations and is not only stiffer and more robust, but also 2.4kg lighter. The harnesses have been fitted with new straps and a new buckle. The additional 24H/Endurance package has been specially developed for customers interested in endurance racing. The standard equipment includes a front bumper with additional headlights, quick-release couplings for engine oil and coolant as well as a carbon fibre clutch, brake callipers from the GTE and steel wheel nuts. Coolant level sensors and fuel level sensors with warning lights as well as LED main headlights with 4,500 lumens are available on request. The aerodynamic redesign also included other parts of the front of the 488 GT3, such as the air vents at the top of the wing, which have been enlarged compared to the previous model. The rear parts have been completely redesigned, as has the front part of the door, which is now more tapered to better channel the lateral airflow. The introduction of the 488 GT3 Evo 2020 also made it possible to optimise the driving dynamics, one of the main strengths of the 488 GT3. The changes include a longer wheelbase, which is now identical to that of the 488 GTE. The aim was to optimise tyre usage, reduce tyre wear and make the transition from GT3 to GTE easier. The new components and improvements introduced in the 2020 version of the 488 GT3 Evo are also available as upgrade kits for existing cars. The 488 GT3 Evo’s track record is impressive. Since its launch in 2016 and the latest evolution in 2020, the model has won 107 championships, 407 races and 770 international starts. These remarkable figures are impressive proof of the outstanding performance and competitive strength of this exquisite racing car.
The Ferrari 488 GT3 offered here in the Evolution specification was delivered to the racing team HubAuto Racing in 2016 and was successfully used by them in the following years. You can find a detailed list of the racing entries further down in the text. In 2020, the car was fitted with the EVO package by Ferrari, but no longer raced due to the coronavirus pandemic. With an extremely low mileage on all components, as well as extensive equipment in the form of a tyre pressure monitoring system, hydration system, air conditioning and long-distance brakes, this car is ready for immediate use. The current engine has a mileage of 7,352 KM, while the gearbox has covered 4,157 KM.

The Ferrari 296 LMGT3
The latest in the Prancing Horse’s illustrious line of GT weapons, the 296 LMGT3 is the car with which Ferrari will embark on the next generation of GT motorsport. In the top-tier World Endurance Championship, it’s bolstering the marque’s arsenal of front-running 499P Hypercars, flying the Ferrari flag in the new singular LMGT3 category. Conceived to level the playing field between factory and privateer teams, LMGT3 heralds a conceptual return to the egalitarian roots of GT motorsport. And greater competition can only be a good thing for everyone.
With LMGT3’s regulations mandating ‘amateur’ Bronze drivers, Ferrari arguably had more to gain by making the 296 approachable to less experienced gentlemen drivers than razor-sharp for the pros. Ferrari reckons it’s its fastest, most aerodynamically efficient and most technologically advanced GT racer yet, though also the easiest, safest and most enjoyable to drive. Versatility is king.
The 296 differs from its forebears in that it’s not powered by a 90-degree naturally aspirated V8 but rather a 120-degree twin-turbocharged V6 engine, just like that found in the double Le Mans-winning 499P.
“Ferrari reckons it’s its fastest, most aerodynamically efficient and most technologically advanced GT racer yet, though also the easiest, safest and most enjoyable to drive.”
The similarities with its Hypercar big brother don’t end there. In designing the car from the ground up and specifically with the hard-fought door-to-door competition of GT3 racing in mind, the 296 LMGT3 is packaged like a prototype. That means entirely removeable front and rear bodywork, facilitating easier access to the car’s vitals and, in turn, much quicker pit stops.
Extensively developed by Ferrari’s elite squadron of Competizione GT drivers, the 296 LMGT3 debuted in the 2023 Daytona 24 Hours. In the two years since, it’s chalked a stunning record-setting outright victory in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, class victory in the Daytona 24 Hours, two GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup championships and two FIA World Endurance Championship race wins.
Chassis number 5144
One of the two Ferrari 296 LMGT3s prepared for Vista AF Corse to campaign in the full 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, chassis number 5144 was an ‘all-boxes-ticked’ example. As such, it benefitted from a raft of features enhancing its potential as an endurance sports-racing car. These included the additional 24-hour high-beam lights (10,000 euros on their own), two-step data acquisition system, carbon clutch and rear camera.

The late 1970s and 1980s were characterised by a period of corporate restructuring at Ferrari, which led to an increased focus on the company’s Formula 1 programme and resultant waning enthusiasm for other sporting activities. Consequently, the 1980s and early 1990s were lean years for Ferrari in endurance racing. Remarkably, at Le Mans–a race which they had previously won on nine occasions–the period from 1985 to 1993 passed without a single Ferrari contesting the race.
However, the constantly evolving nature of the sport–and Sports car racing in particular–mercifully rendered Ferrari’s absence from top-line endurance racing only temporary. The combination of the highly successful IMSA-based 333 SP Sportscar programme and a burgeoning GT racing scene in Europe heightened enthusiasm for a potential Ferrari “closed wheel” racing return; the company’s recently introduced 550 Maranello model representing the ideal basis for a car very much in the mould of its Competizione predecessors.
Eager to avoid compromising its existing Formula 1 or IMSA programmes, Ferrari offered cautious encouragement to several privately funded, 550 Maranello-based projects rather than opting to develop a car “in house”. French GT team Red Racing commissioned Italian Race and Rally specialists Italtecnica to develop a GT3-specification car as early as 1999; the programme subsequently being expanded to develop a contender for the top-level GT class in the 2000 FIA GT Championship. Italtecnica-built cars were campaigned initially by First Racing–with lamentable results–and subsequently by Team Rafanelli, with whom they achieved a handful of podium placings in the 2001 FIA GT Championship and 2002 American Le Mans Series.
However, from mid-2001 onwards the British Prodrive team joined the FIA GT Championship ranks with their self-developed 550 Maranello GTS; the project being almost entirely funded by French shipping magnate Frédéric Dor. Results were virtually immediate–with Rickard Rydell and Peter Kox taking victory in only the car’s second race–while in 2002, Prodrive-built cars won a further four FIA rounds and took class victory in the American Le Mans Series round at Laguna Seca. However, 2003 would prove to be the car’s breakout year, with Banbury-built chassis securing four ALMS victories, the FIA GT Championship and a GTS class win at Le Mans.
As the 2002 season had progressed–with increasingly encouraging, if somewhat belated results–Ferrari found themselves reappraising their future involvement in GT racing. Production of the 550 Maranello road car had ceased in late 2001, to be replaced by the evolutionary 575M in 2002. Such a transition therefore presented the factory with an ideal opportunity to assume responsibility for production of any future Competition derivative of the 575M, rather than permitting third parties to do so, as had been the case previously.
To this end, Ferrari themselves commissioned the Alfa Romeo-affiliated European Touring Car Championship team N.Technology to build two FIA-specification 550 Maranello chassis over the winter of 2002/2003. Dubbed the 550 Maranello GTC, these would effectively serve as prototypes for a factory-blessed–but still privateer-focussed–replacement, the 575M GTC. Both 550 GTC chassis–2102 and 2104–would be entrusted to loyal Ferrari customer team JMB Racing, and entered in selected rounds of the 2003 FIA GT Championship.
Chassis 2102–the car RM Sotheby’s are proud to offer here–made its race debut in the Donington 500 kilometres, the fifth round of the season. Christian Terrien, Philipp Peter, and Boris Derichebourg shared driving duties; the trio qualifying a respectable 13th out of 29 starters–albeit some 2.5 seconds adrift of the pole-sitting Chrysler Viper. However, a troubled race restricted them to 21st overall and 11th in class at the finish.
JMB’s next outing was in the Spa 24 Hours, in which half Championship points would be awarded at six and twelve hours, in addition to the customary full allocation at race distance. On this occasion, Babini and Derichebourg were joined in 2102 by Philipp Peter; their 10th place after qualifying reflecting their focus on race pace rather than outright speed. In the race, the notorious Ardennes weather played into the hands of the less powerful–but more controllable–N-GT class cars, with the Freisinger team’s Porsche 911 GT3-RS leading overall at the six-hour mark. However, a stellar first quarter of the race for the crew of 2102 saw them in second place overall and awarded maximum “six hour” points as GT class leaders; the trio remaining on the same lap as the Porsche.
After 12 hours, the Freisinger Porsche continue to lead, albeit with the Larbre Competition Chrysler Viper having taken over at the top of the GT class standings. A minor suspension issue had delayed 2102–costing almost 20 minutes–although the team remained in third place overall, and second in class. However, shortly before three-quarter distance, engine problems cruelly forced the Ferrari into retirement, albeit with the consolation of nine Championship points as a result of its impressive early race form. Remarkably, the diminutive Porsche clung on to take a memorable victory.
The Championship reconvened at Anderstorp in Sweden in early September, where proceedings reverted to the usual 500 kilometre “Sprint” race format. There, 2102 was once again entrusted to Babini and Peter; the pair duly qualifying in 10th position, alongside 2104, in ninth. However, once again a promising race position came to naught, for the car encountered a recurrence of the suspension issues suffered at Spa, and retired with 15 laps remaining.
If Anderstorp represented another disappointing weekend, then the eighth round of the Championship–at Oschersleben, two weeks later–would prove even more so. Babini and Peter remained as 2102’s nominated drivers, but an engine failure in qualifying prevented the car from starting the race. Thereafter, JMB switched over to the new N-Technology-built 575 Maranello GTC for the final two rounds of the Championship; this decision heralding the end of 2102’s brief contemporary racing career. Ironically, at the penultimate round of the Championship at Estoril, Babini and Peter drove their 575 to a richly-deserved overall victory; a result in which its luckless predecessor undoubtedly played a part.
Following the conclusion of the 2003 season, 2102 reverted to custody of Ferrari S.p.A, prior to its sale to avid Ferrari enthusiast–and sometime F40 GTE competitor–Piero Nappi in 2005. In his hands, the car competed extensively in the Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna (Italian Speed Hill Climb Championship) over the next decade or more; the pair achieving some 40 group or class wins and securing GTM class titles in 2005, as well being highly competitive in the 2006 and 2014 seasons. As if to underline the significance of these achievements, the car’s accompanying history file includes a letter from Jean Todt, in which the then Ferrari CEO and Race Division General Manager offers Nappi his heartfelt congratulations.
In 2017, 2102 was acquired by its next owner who, remarkably, was the car’s second private owner. In his care, it has undergone a sympathetic restoration to its 2003 Spa 24 Hours livery. Since the car’s acquisition by the consignor, it benefitted from further expenditure in excess of €60,000. This included a comprehensive service with legendary Ferrari specialists Toni Auto of Maranello in November 2023, and extensive fabrication and pipework modifications by erstwhile 550 constructors Italtecnica in September 2024; the latter at a cost of some €26,450.
The car subsequently completed a brief shakedown test at Cremona, prior to its appearance at Ferrari’s Finali Mondiali celebrations at Imola in October 2024. Significantly, both engine and gearbox items have been rebuilt in recent years; the former by Autotecnica Motori in 2016 and the latter by acknowledged Hewland expert Steve Bannon in 2017.
Undoubtedly, and perhaps unwittingly, the 550 Maranello provided the catalyst for Ferrari’s long overdue official return to Endurance racing in 2006. It is believed that Italtecnica produced just five such chassis and Prodrive a further 12, while N.Technology were responsible for the two 550 GTCs and the subsequent factory-sanctioned run of 12 575M GTCs. Yet of these, only the N.Technology-built 550 GTCs can legitimately claim official factory backing and ownership; their truncated “even” chassis numbers reflecting their works-blessed status, and contrasting starkly with the lengthy production-type designations worn by Prodrive and Italtecnica-built variants.
Fusing superb engineering, sensational performance and classical “long nose” Ferrari GT styling, the 550 GTC bears all the hallmarks of a true Maranello great. In the case of 2102, these attributes are further augmented by its remarkable originality, comprehensive accompanying documentation–including the coveted Ferrari Classiche certification–and minimal ownership chain. Finally, its eligibility for all manner of historic race, demonstration and Concours events ensures that it remains a car of unparalleled versatility–and one in which the spirit of illustrious Ferrari Competizione cars of the past assuredly lives on.
