    They seem to be using 4-pot calipers at all corners. Clever idea for weight reduction.

    Dug up this old post (from another thread) as a segue to my question:

    Can anybody confirm if the GT2 has the multi-link rear suspension (or pick-up points) and if it uses the production or spec-spec arms and links.

    Me too. Love all the detail on the front fenders. Seems the GT3 rules are more liberal than GT2 in this area.

    Hey guys, this is my first here.

    I was lucky enough to be invited to the world debut of the 458 Italia GT3 in Interlagos.

    Since I am a automotive photographer, I spent most of the time there taking photographs of the car during the debut. However, I am still editing the photos and tomorrow I will upload them to my website. There are about 44 photos showing the entire vehicle. I will come back tomorrow to show you all of them. For now, just a teaser:

    Hope you like it!

    Hey guys, as I promissed, i am back to show you the HQ photos of the 458 Italia GT3 in Interlagos.

    Below there is the link from my blog where I posted all the 43 photos of this car.
    There is a short text as well, the only problem is that it's written in portuguese, but you can use a Google Translator or something to your own language. I know these translators are not very precise, but at least you are able to understand most of it.

    Well, there it is:

    Thanks a lot guys, I will keep posting on other areas of the forum since I am a member now.
    See you soon!

    Wow. Now that's a hot car. Looks way better than the GT2. No unsightly ducts or anything.

    Like the GT2, the three piece wheels were development items and, in my opinion, a bit too retro.

    Here's what looks like the definitive wheels design, which I find quite nice and original:

    How much is a GT3 worth new?
