Xavier's Ferrari 458 Italia GT2
for the 24 hours of Le Mans

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. Under new restrictor regulations, the 4.5L engine produces 470 bhp, which is less than the road car, the F430 GTE and the 458 Challenge. The double-clutch paddle-shifting gearbox is retained since rules in 2011 allow them. 6 Ferrari 458 Italia GTCs are on the entry list in 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours, backed by 4 older F430 GT2s.
