As well as the
European launch of the 612 Scaglietti, Ferrari's stand at the 2004 Geneva Motor
Show is hosting the world preview of the new GTC Handling Pack for the 575M Maranello.
The GTC Handling
pack for the 575M is also the first to offer carbon-ceramic brake discs, already
adopted on the Enzo and the Challenge Stradale, for a front-engined Ferrari, and
represents a further evolution in the strong personality of the Maranello.
As is clear from its name, which refers to the transfer of the handling
characteristics of the version used in the FIA-GT Championship to the road-going
model, the GTC Handling option offers an even more thrilling driving experience,
thanks to its new track-derived components. Apart from the effectiveness of the
new brakes developed in collaboration with Brembo, this is a further development
of the Fiorano handling package (special springs and anti-roll bars, lowered
ride height, upgraded power steering), with additional advances in electronic
suspension control.
The new personalisation option also includes an exhaust system with an even
deeper, characteristic rumble, newly designed exhausts, coloured brake callipers
featuring the 'Brembo Carbon Ceramic' logo, and modular 19" wheels fitted with
special Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres (255/35 ZR19 front and 305/30 ZR 19 rear).
This combination of advanced new components offers drivers even headier
performance from an already firm favourite with devotees of the Maranello
12-cylinders. |
