The initial development of the new Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am is now complete. Ferrari and their tuning out of the House, Michelotto firm, began to test the vehicle on the Fiorano Circuit. If the name of the new runner does, the 458 Italia Grand Am was produced the first sanctioned by the Ferrari factory running Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series GT class according to the current rules of the WG.
This new model is based on the version the Ferrari Berlinetta V8-powered GT3. Between the new model of Grand Am 458 and the European version the difference is that the Grand Am develops a total of 500 HP (and not 470 HP as other 458 Italia race cars) to the maximum 8000 rise. Slowdown in the North American Grand Am down is a reducer of 48 mm and less effective than the GT version aerodynamics.
If we compare Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am Italia 458 standard, this new model has a revised brake system (because the car is absent ABS and traction control) and a bar of reversal, which gives greater lateral protection, thereby increasing security. Ferrari 458 Italia Grand Am is equipped with supplier of the Grand Am series, Continental tire.
