The Only De Tomaso Mangusta Shelby MkV Prototype Ever Made
Christmas Guest, Toronto, Ontario.
Ferrari presents the 488 GT Modificata, a limited edition car that incorporates the technology developed for the 488 GT3 & 488 GTE, transcending the limits imposed by technical & sporting regulations to exploit its full potential. The 488 GT Modificata is exclusively for use during track days and at Ferrari Club Competizioni GT events.
The car’s name includes the word “Modificata”, which in Ferrari jargon means designs that have been evolved for better performance. It maximizes the outstanding performance of the 488 GT3 & the 488 GTE by combining their most effective & innovative solutions, as well as developing new technologies linked mainly to a powertrain no longer limited by the FIA Balance of Performance. The legendary twin turbo V8 was subject to advanced research, which resulted in specific components and the carry-over of materials from the racing engine. The maximum power delivered by the engine is now around 700 cv, due to the use of innovative solutions & more extreme and high-performance mapping. All this without compromising Ferrari’s proverbial reliability. The gearbox, available with different transmission ratios, and the carbon-fiber clutch, help to manage the increased power and torque delivered by the engine.
