Ferrari main objective was to win the F1 WDC and WCC.They wouldnt invest in any other league before achieving that. Now they have done it and are strong again they can afford to invest $$ in GT racing which is what they have done since 2001.

I hope that Ferrari can rival the new 911 RSR. so we can watch them battle it out on some of the worlds greatest race tracks. I have herd rumors that the GT style of racing is coming back, and prototypes are on the way out.

I have heard that,
1. Merc is going to race the SLR
2. lambo Murilago
3. Porsche CGT
4. Ferrari Enzo
5. Bugatti Veryon 16/4

This is going to be the top tier of racing in 05/06. The return of great sports car racing.

the stradale is a road car yes, it would stand no chance on a track.


personally i dont know what to think of this. It'll take some work to beat the tried and tested 911's with all their years of factory support, hell the Freisinger Porsche won one of the rounds this year outright.

Yeah the stradale is the road version of the racing version which is the 360GT I am assuming. This car looks pretty tight, I think I'd still rather have a GT3 though

Are you serious mate??? Is that why the 360GT won the FIA NGT class in 2001? And is that why this years fight lasted till the last race? The fight for the championship that is. This year JMB and Freisinger had an equal amount of wins so you know.

Oh this is the new 360GTC wich will race on the GT international. Awesome ferrari, with 450 horses and just 1000Kg. Really a race car. Very beauty, i guess it won´t be produced to us, i mean, to customers, unless someone pays a big money.

Whats wrong with these people. Yes it does look a little better than the stratsdale, but the design is basically the same. I think they should start thinking on a replacement instead of of an upgrade.

Its a race car man. IT IS NOT A ROAD CAR. LOL Everybody thinks its a new road car.

Its a race car, and there is nothing wrong with making an upgrade on an older race car. Ferrari 360 Started GT racing about 4 years ago. Trust me, this is nothing for a race car. So the Viper GTS should also be replaced? Its been racing for like 6 years now.

every first ferrari that leaves the factory is yellow....just some sort of tradition, but the teams that get the car are painting them in their colors right away

Sorry, but I just have to say this.

Do you fucking read? This is a fucking race car, not a road car. Race fucking car, stated fifty fucking times already. Then wing is there for fucking downforce, ever seen a race car mate? They are all wingless right? Yes I thought so.

Sorry if it sounded harsh but shit, try to read.


And for those who say that there are to many 360s already wtf are you talking about?

This is only the second GT racer to come out of Ferrari.
