Stunning Cinematic Showcases Road-legal Ferrari 458 GT3

By -

Ferrari 458 GT3 race car has been converted for road-use and is one of only two known to exist.

The Ferrari 458 Italia is already a stunning car. With it’s aggressive cheekbones up front, and mid-mounted 4.5-liter V8 engine that revs to 9,000 RPM out back, it’s a winner in our books. However, like anything in life, there’s always room for improvement. For a Ferrari, you look to the world of motorsport. Specifically, the 458 GT3 race car, which takes everything that’s good about the 458 road car, and turns the metaphorical dial up to 11. Exaggerated body work, and even more carbon fiber are all a part of the outward appeal, and don’t forget the race-ready chassis setup.

Sounds awesome, right? Well, it’s shame that for most people, even those who are well off, they will never get a chance to really experience the F458 GT3. Unless you’re one of the two people in the world who own the ultra-rare, road-legal 458 GT3 cars, like this one seen in this latest Woyshnis Media YouTube video.

This criminally short short film shows this 1-of-2 road-legal F458 GT3 tearing up the pavement of San Francisco, California. The edit and videography is sharp, hard-hitting and stunning to take in. Simple panning shots of the 458 GT3 cruising down the freeway are enough to make your mouth drop a little.

Then the scenery changes, and the GT3 racer for the road joins a friend with a Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Visually, it’s a lot to take in, and we mean that in the best way possible. Our only criticism: Needs more naturally-aspirated Italian supercar exhaust note. Please and thank you.
