Photoshoot: Racing DNA: Ferrari 458 GT2

[VWSpeed]

Some road cars are just born with racing DNA.

The 911 is a legend but now the 458 Italia proves it is built with racing DNA. Just look at this beauty.


De port-prestige.com: La version GT2 de la Ferrari 458 pointe le bout de son nez et se destine de fait aux championnats. Une apparition soudaine qui fait suite au récent lever de rideau sur la mouture Challenge.

From wikipedia: Ferrari unveiled their new GT2 racer for the 2011 races sanctioned by the ACO. The 458 GT2 drops the "flex splitter" found in the road cars and replaced with a more conventional inlet, with the air exit out through louvers in the bonnet.

The road going 458 doesn't do much for me, but the racing version, well, that is something else entirely!

It is just gorgeous in black...

Infinitely better in black + LOL needs moar vents.

It looks better in black because it hides that fugly smiley face front bumper.

Je l aime bien moi Joce. Mon coeur par contre est déchiré entre Porsche et Ferrari...

En course, je crois que Ferrari fait bonne figure en FIA GT.

Buddy, Jorg bergmeister has win 2010 GT Championship in a Flying Lizard Porsche GT3 RSR. He is also 2009-2008 GT2 champion in the same car.

Porsches win both ALMS GT and GTC championship in 2010.

What was your point, yes those Ferrari's are fast, but like in real life they are less reliable than Porsche. I am a fan of this serie and had the chance to be at ALMS Mosport event as a part of a support serie team, 2009 and 2010 Canadian Touring Car ST class champion team BTW...

But what do i know about racing, hey ...

We can have a long debate over this but we would go off topic

The amount of Porsche entries outnumber the Ferrari's, then it is save to say that the likelyhood of a 911 win is greater than Ferrari.
