It’s gotta be awesome knowing a car you’ve purchased is being hand assembled in a surgery-like setting.

Closest I have ever been to that is assembling a model and watching it come to life one plastic snap at a time.

Those pictures are killer.

I bet reserve is low $100k's.

I've had to pinch myself a few times, because I would really, REALLY like to buy it.

Nvm, this is not a GT3 Viper. lol, i thought it was, but its a 2013 that was turned into a racecar.

Ferrari shows one-off SP38

Based on the 488 GTB, the car was commissioned by a client with a passion for racing.

Ferrari has revealed its latest one-off creation, known as the SP38 and based on the chassis and running gear of the 488 GTB.

A client "with a deep passion for racing" worked with the Ferrari Design Center to create all-new bodywork that clearly distinguishes the SP38 from its donor car.

Designers were directed to take inspiration from the iconic F40. The resulting shape concentrates its visual mass over the rear wheels and extends to a strongly tapered nose with thin headlights. On the side, the 488's air scoop is concealed.

"The dynamic styling continues over the engine cover, which sheds its rear glass and is treated as a flip-up assembly in carbon fiber with shutlines slashing the flanks in a gesture directly reminiscent of the F40's," Ferrari says.

The car will make its first public appearance at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Saturday.

It’s like a Ferrari had a baby with an aventador and claimed the F40 was the father.

It’s beautiful. Any Ferrari one off or limited edition model is epic. It is like you are on a date with a supermodel and she brought three of her supermodel friends on the date with her because she wants your evening to be perfect.

Is that a one off color as well? Does not look like normal Ferrari red.

I like it. It has a nice mix of super car heritage in it. The front end reminds of that old Jaguar super car from the 90's I believe.

 

[AustinSN]

I think the 488 is much more attractive than that car.

Did the wifey end up admitting it was her?

Did the wifey end up admitting it was her?

LOL. She prefers the N/A motors. She's probably have them stuff an 812 motor into a 458 chassis if she did a 1-off.

The build is coming along beautifully. Just a few more weeks now.

GT4 spec is 450 BHP. But I'm not running in a GT4 series at the moment, so this bad boy has just dyno'd at 585 BHP

 

[ssj4sadie]

What all has to be changed to bring it back into GT4 power spec?

Intake, Headers & ECU programming. Simple enough swap.

Nice. I’m dumb and slow after failing to install a garage door opener tonight...but is that a dry sump on there?

Good eye! It's a custom Roush Yates motor - 5.2L, 32V, cross-plane crank, dry sump, "voodoo" heads, Bosch motorsport engine management. ZF dual-plate clutch, Holinger sequential transmission with paddle shifters. Pretty sweet setup for going fast around the track

Ben, what make headers did Multimatic use?
