Ferrari 550GTS

In 2001, Ferrari commissioned tuning firm Prodrive to develop 10 stripped-out track-only versions of the V12, front-engined 550 Maranello grand tourer, to be raced by privateer teams in various GT series, particularly the Le Mans 24hr.

The body got a dramatic redesign to accommodate the widened track-width and serious aero gear for downforce, while the engine got moved further back and the weight lowered to under 1100kg.
