Introduced in 2011, the Ferrari 458 GT3 was a purpose-built competition version of the 458 developed for international GT3 racing. Created with support from Michelotto, it combined a lightweight chassis and carbon-fiber bodywork with a race-prepared 4.5-liter V8 producing approximately 560 horsepower. Successful across major GT championships worldwide, the 458 GT3 became one of Ferrari’s most accomplished modern customer racing cars.
