    I was checking up on the laptimes at the fiorano and came across this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_360_GTCR

    Does anyone have any more info, pictures?

    Never heard of this car ever before, and GTCR doesn't reveal anything when I searched.

    I don't believe everything wikipedia says. This smells like cr$p. twin turbo enzo engine with 1000hp, yeh right. Probably a teenange gamers fantasy!

    IMHO a 360 with a 599/Enzo engine would require massive chassis changes which would make the project uneconomical.

    Even if you junked the space completely behind the passenger seats for the extra cylinders to fit its still not going to be wide enough, quite how this would work seems to boggle the mind. Drastic modifications to the chassis (perhaps a move to a spaceframe and totally new suspension pickup points, would also need a longer wheelbase too), Everything actually.

    This wouldn't be a 360 it would be a new car...

    That's because no such car exists, well, not outside someone's mental masturbation.

    Wikipedia, for the people by the people.

    I found it strange in the first place, hence i asked ;). The weight of the V12 alone is enough to upset the balance, nevermind what it will do after bolting some turbo's and ancillaries on it... The time itself was already hugely doubtful, almost 2 seconds quicker than a derestricted 333SP.

    Cheers all :)
