Need for Speed Shift CAR OF THE DAY Ferrari F430 GTC
Need for Speed Shift CAR OF THE DAY Ferrari F430 GTC
Designed for racing on GT2 circuits, the Ferrari F430 GTC is a replacement for the 360 GTC, which was based off the elegant Modena line that did well in several championship races, most notably taking second place at the 24 Hours Daytona in 2003.
F430 GTC continues on the track set by its predecessor, but there are some noticeable differences: its styling is more aggressive, harkening back to the unique ‘shark nose’ Formula One racers of the 1960s which garnered championships for Ferrari in 1961 and 1964.
Its rear end is styled similar to the Enzo supercar, with bulging tail lights giving off hints as to where engineers got their inspiration.
Its V8 engine is slightly less than four liters in displacement, which may seem small by North American standards – a $40,000 Dodge Challenger R/T has a 5.7-liter mill – but for a Ferrari racecar, it’s more than enough.Packed into that race-bred treasure trove are 440 horses that prefer to gallop than prance, with peak output at 7000 rpm, to go along with 339 ft/lbs of torque at only 5200 rpm.
With its supermodel looks, the F430 GTC also sports a supermodel’s waistline, with a total weight of less than 2,500 pounds, giving it an impressive 0.39 horsepower/kilogram ratio. Its weight is the minimum allowed to compete in FIA GT races.
Apart from being a racecar, the major cosmetic differences between the GTC and standard F430 are the large rear wing and carbon fiber gills on its front fascia.
So far, the GTC has been successful on the track, scoring class championships in the American Le Mans Series, FIA GT, and the 24 Hours Sebring race.
This car is a no-nonsense racing machine and if you want to take it out with Need for Speed SHIFT’s Ferrari Racing Series, we suggest a strong racing harness and more than one pair of underwear.
