Now that a GT version of the Ferrari 458 Italia is expected to take the reigns from the Ferrari 430 GT in the upcoming ALMS season, a lot of people in the automotive and racing industry have been waiting for quite some time to see a glimpse of the GT-spec 458 Italia in action. Jon Sibal even gave us a very detailed rendering of what he thought the 458 GT would look like when Ferrari finally lifts the covers off of the race car.
But after months of waiting, we can finally let out a little exhale as a prototype version of the 458 GT was spotted recently doing some test runs inside Ferrari?s Fiorano race track in Maranello, Italy.
Not that we care about the timeline of development for the 458 GT. As far as we?re concerned, we?re just happy to see visual proof of the car ? prototype or not ? playing in its natural habitat: the race track.
