Thank Ferrari"s Corse Clienti department for this wide-eyed, wide-mouthed apex-splitter. It is a 2004 Ferrari 360 GTC, and it could be yours for, well, quite a bit actually. But we"ll come to that shortly.Developed by CC in collaboration with Michelotto who help build all of Ferrari"s GT racing cars it was the successor to the 360 GT. The chief change was a change in positioning for the rear wing; thanks to wind tunnel testing, it yielded a significant" improvement in downforce.All the better to deploy that race-bred, 3.6-litre V8 and all of its 450bhp. Furthermore, there"s 310lb ft of torque on hand too, deployed to the rear wheels and carrying just 1,100kg of Ferrari (as per the racing regs).This particular car was labelled chassis number 2060, and delivered new to Scuderia Mik Corse for the 2004 Italian GT championship. It racked up class wins at Mugello, Enna-Pergusa, Misano-Adriatico and Vallelunga.The following year, it was sold to the Scuderia Playteam where it was quite a bit more successful. Future Ferrari GT racer Toni Vilander was one of the drivers on board for 2005, who would help chassis 2060 win the Spanish GT championship, and the Italian GT championship. Not a bad year, that.
