New Car From Ferrari!!!
Its the 360GTC
Check it out. There isnt much info on it at Ferrari.com. Most of you will see that it's the new 360GT racer based on the 360Stradale.
Note the sequential stick shift? That's for reliability since ferrari had many race problems with their F1 electro hydrolic gearbox. Now its a normal sequential box. The car looks lovely. It will kick ass in NGT class!!!!
I can just realize how powerfull it is, considering the stock stradale has 425BHP!!! The old GT360 had 430!!!!!! This car has 445!!!!! That would be NUTS!!!! The GT3 stands no chance!
Check out the spec sheat from Ferrari

Looks good. Curious how it will perform.
It's a strange way of approaching things though. Private teams started developing GT cars based on the 550 and 360 while Ferrari concentrated solely on F1. Now that the cars start to become a real succes, Ferrari suddenly steps in with the 575 GTC and this.

Well, it's nice to keep creating a car, than a racing version, than a roadgoing version of the racing version of the road car, then another racing version of the roadgoing version of the racing version of the road car and so on

Well this isnt street legal. This is Ferraris race car. And this is only the second one. The first 360GT was not that succesful mainly due to the faulty gearbox. Now they have a car with a much better aero package, and more power. But yeah....there are a lot of different 360s now, but look at Porsche

Next thing you know Top Gear is making fun of Ferrari's 360 model range like they did with the 911.

Well the current 360GT is a good car, on par or slightly better performance wise then the GT3. The main reason for the car not being so succseful is that faulty gearbox, now with that out, and more power, Porsche has some catching up to do.
Plus I think the teams with this car will get more factory support, the old 360GT did not get much support from Ferrari.

Looks like a winner - strange that they chose the older stick semi auto rather than the flappy paddles...

The fappy paddles were the number one reason for the old 360GTs not so succesful racing carrer.

aaaahhh wait, how could I not like it, and that extra power sure cant hurt  , although from the side the endplates of that rear wing look a bit strange compared to the curves of the body, but then I guess its function over form for such things

It looks amazing!
that new wing design is very interesting.
It somewhat resembles a F1 wing, or the bentley lemans car.
hope it will kick some porsche ass 
the 360 GT was very very fast. the gearbox was indeed problematic, but now that's taken care of, and there's more power. can't wait to see it .
