If you have a Ferrari 458 Italia that you like to race, you've probably found that the street setup has a number of limitations. All of these can be overcome by the package created by motorsport firm Racing One.
Now, we know that Ferrari themselves offer the Challenge customer racing cars, but this could potentially be even better. The 4.5-liter V8 engine has been tweaked to produce 620 hp, which is actually more than the new 458 Speciale.
Perhaps more importantly, the weight reductions achieved by Racing One are staggering: 200 kilograms over the standard setup. The car now tips the scales at just 1.2 tons. Responsible for this is a brand new carbon fiber body kit and a stripped out interior. Upgraded suspension from KW, new carbon ceramic disks that are fade-resistant and better aerodynamics also managed to impress us at the Essen Motor Show this year.
