2008 | Ferrari F430 GTC

We are delighted to offer this ex-Trottet Racing 2008 Ferrari F430 GTC F131 EVO #2634 for sale.

The Ferrari 430 GTC was introduced in 2006 to replace the 360 GTC and to race in GT2 class in the FIA GT Championship, the American Le Mans Series and the Le Mans 24 Hours. Over the next 5 years, it became Ferraris most successful GT racing car of the late 2000s, both in Europe and the USA, taking multiple GT2 Drivers & Manufacturers titles, plus GT2 class victory and podiums at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Developed in partnership by Corse Clienti and Michelotto Automobili, the 430 GTC was derived from the excellent F430 Berlinetta road car, whilst the cars 90 degree 4-litre V8 produced 450 bhp and was mated to a Hewland manual sequential gearbox and proved most reliable. Only 53 cars were produced in total from 2006 to 2011, with just 24 of these being the later and rare Evoluzione Evo cars. The Evo upgrades included refinements in aerodynamics, suspension, and weight reduction to improve race performance. These changes were more about improving speed and efficiency than altering the car's physical dimensions.

Our car, with VIN ending on #2634, has an impressive track record and won the 2009 International Open GT Championship with Team Trottet Racing and Swiss drivers Marcel Fssler and Jol Camathias. Between 2008 and 2009, this striking F430 achieved nine pole positions, five times runner-up and twice third place on the podium (detailed race results can be found in the history section below). During this 2-year period, the car was always perfectly maintained by the Trottet racing team in collaboration with Michelotto (invoices available) who also installed the latest developments to acfhieve its 2009 Championship winning ambitions. Since its birth, #2634 has never been badly crashed, is full matching numbers retaining its original body/chassis, engine (077) and gearbox (060), and looks stunning in its striking 2009 Bull fire breathing livery.

At the end of the 2009 season, Trottet Racing stopped its activities and #2634 was sold to a private collector who displayed the car for several years at the Muse de lAutomobile in Monaco. In 2018 it was bought by French historic racer Florent Jean who only used the car sparingly. At the beginning of 2024, the car was bought by its current owner who had the car fully recommissioned for the 2024 season by renown preparer Pastorelli Classic Cars. Since then, #2634 has competed successfully in Peter Autos ERL2 race series where it has shown to be a reliable and front running car. Now offered for sale in 100% race-ready condition with technical passport, two spare sets of wheels and laptop with management software.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Championship winning, original and matching numbers Ferrari 430 GTC EVO which would sit proudly in any discerning Ferrari collection while also being eligible to race in Peter Autos Endurance Racing Legends, Masters Endurance Legends and Ferraris Club Competizione GT program where it would continue to be a welcome and competitive entry.
