A link to the Asia section for some awesome V12 sounds: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=137142418&posted=1#post137142418 And this I found today as well. You have to wait for a short crappy Dutch advert before it appears. It says 575GTC but I always thought the racing versions were only known as 550s? Anyone know any more? http://www.123video.nl/playvideos.asp?MovieID=138405&CatID=1&mnu=3&Rnd= Enjoy! Onno

IIRC. The 550's were built buy Prodrive and were not offically factory approved (although I don't think Ferrari objected to taking some of the glory of their successes) The 575GTC's were built by N technologies the same company that builds the WTCC Alfa Romeo's, they were factory sanctioned but never as successful as the Prodrive cars (other than winning its debut race in the FIA GT series) and development ceased when the Maserati MC12 came on stream.
That is one of the best looking sports cars ever. Droooooollllllllll!!!!!!!!! What a machine. We had one at Moroso park last year, a 550 Italitechnia (Is that right?) car. It was so cool and fast. I spoke to one of the driver a young guy. I think it was his dad's. He said he was scared to drive it that's how fast it was. WOW!
The 575 GTC offered by MMC paris is in fact coming from JMB racing who used it succesfully before going for MC12 in FIA GT races. JMB was offering me also such car, in fact they should have two cars available now. Great car, difficult to maintain without a dedicated team able to prepare it for some yearly show, but a lot of spare parts available, and a wonderfull look and specs.! Too expensive today compare to some 550 with sometime good races references available on the market. We should wait!
