550 GTO by Prodrive #113136

Asking 3.8m

 

@tomgt, you where there, you have seen the car, you spoke to Max?

 

Yes

 

Is this the winning chassis?

 

Le Mans? No.

 

Where is the Le Mans class winning chassis? If this is $3.8m, then the winning car must be what...$6m?

 

With the owner, on display at Prodrive.

 

barchetta.cc is incorrect on the number of built cars by Prodrive.
They built 12 cars, 2 of which never seen the championships in the world.

 

So what happened to the other two chassis? Were they ever tracked (not raced)?

I've consulted this article by dailysportscar who had input from ex Care Racing staff so should be on the money

These cars still hold a pretty special place in my heart- the only car that would come even close would be the McLaren F1 GTR, another wailing V12 machine.

 

A 550-575 book is in progress....
This will give many answers.

 

Tom: any updates on the 550/575 book?

 

that book is already published!

 

Tom: fantastic, where can I learn more and purchase the book?
