(from Ferrari Press Release)
This model, with a dry weight of 1100 kilos, was developed by the Corse
Clienti Department in Maranello, in collaboration with Michelotto
Automobili to compete in the N-GT class. It makes use of recent
evolutions successfully race tested on the 360 GT, with a sequential six
speed gearchange and a further improved Magneti Marelli electronics
package. The aerodynamics are substantially different to the 360 GT,
given that the 360 GTC has been newly homologated by FIA/ACO from the
Challenge Stradale, taking up from its basic elements: front bumper,
side skirts, engine cover and double rear end. Wind tunnel research has
led to a new system for the rear wing, with a notable improvement in
vertical downforce. The performance of the 90 degree V8 3586.2cc engine
has been improved in terms of consumption and power, putting out 445
horsepower at 8750 rpm.
