- Photo rendering of the Ferrari 458 Italia GT by Jon Sibal.
The year 2010 will be the last time you will see the Ferrari F430 GT in action in the ALMS. Considering the production version was already replaced by the new 458 Italia, the same fate will also strike at the racing version. And who better to produce a rendering of the future racing car than Jon Sibal and, lucky for us, he has already done it.
“I basically just used the current F430 GT for some ideas for the 458 GT,” Sibal says. “I also widened the fenders but it’s subtle so not sure if anyone will notice. Gave it the racecar stance, race wheels, race interior and other details to make it somewhat convincing.” The result is a 458 GT prepared for the RISI Competizione.
Of course the production version will be powered by the same 4.5 liter V8 engine that will deliver 570 hp, but for the racing version, Ferrari will mostly focus on improving the car’s aerodynamics and weight. The F1 technology will also be present, so expect the next 458 GT to be a lot quicker than its road going version.
