Carhuna presents a rare opportunity for motorsport enthusiasts and collectors alike with the upcoming auction of a racing marvel - the 2013 Ferrari 458 GTE, chassis 2868. This legendary car is now live, with bidding closing on Thursday, 21st March.
The 458 GTE is a distinguished member of Ferrari's racing portfolio. Built by Michelotto in Padova, only 52 were crafted, with an impressive track record including victories at prestigious races like Le Mans 24 Hours and the World Endurance Challenge. Chassis 2868 holds a special place in this lineage, boasting a remarkable record with Team Taisan in the 2013 Asian Le Mans Series.
Delivered new to Team Taisan, this car was a force to be reckoned with, winning all four races of the 2013 Asian Le Mans Series. Its prowess was further showcased at the 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours, where it bravely finished 8th in class. Post-Le Mans, chassis 2868 was meticulously refreshed by Michelotto and later added to a private collection.
The significance of chassis 2868 extends beyond its racing achievements. It marks the final era of Ferrari's naturally aspirated GT race cars. Immaculately maintained and having never suffered a DNF, its condition is a testament to Ferrari’s engineering excellence. The car’s eligibility for events like Masters Endurance Legends and Ferrari’s Club Competizioni GT makes it an attractive proposition for any racing enthusiast.
Included in the sale is an extensive spares package, ensuring this Ferrari 458 GTE is ready to continue its legacy on track. Recently, it was prepped by Pursuit Racing for a demonstration at the Supercar Driver Secret Meet 2023, proving its readiness for future endeavours.
This Ferrari 458 GTE is more than a race car; it’s a piece of motorsport history, offering a blend of performance and reliability that is quintessentially Ferrari. As the values of GT race cars like this 458 GTE rise, owning chassis 2868 becomes an increasingly unique opportunity.
