In the new 575 GTC, developed by the Ferrari Client Racing Division, the original 575M Maranello's natural prowess has been beautifully enhanced and adapted to meet the specific demands and regulations of the track. The massive 5997 cm3 engine can now punch out almost 600 bhp and is combined with a sequential gearbox. The tubular steel chassis has boxed sections and the double wishbone suspension features adjustable anti-dive geometry. The new car's most outstanding characteristics include a wider track front and rear, larger brake discs, and a lighter body thanks to the use of composites. Lengthy aerodynamic development in the wind tunnel led to the adoption of the adjustable front spoiler, the split rear wing with nolder and the flat underbody fairing featuring rear diffusers.
The 575 GTC is aimed at private teams racing in the FIA GT Championship, in which the new car debuts in 2003 season finale, as well as other Grand Tourer series, such as the IMSA and GrandAm.Source - Ferrari
