This track car with license plates had its 4.5-liter V8 pushed to 605 hp at 9,000 rpm and 540 Nm (lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm. Weigh reduction, carbon ceramic brakes and a race-inspired interior are just some of the features that will clip a few seconds of your Abu Dhabi lap time, provided of course you can afford the most expensive V8 Ferrari.
