Ferrari 458 Competition by Racing One

German tuning firm Racing One introduced its race ready Ferrari 458 Competition. The 4.5-liter V8 originally producing 572 Hp now develops 620 HP thanks to a series of race oriented upgrades. Of course, to be able to tackle the world's most challenging tracks, the car received suspension and chassis upgrades as well as Brembo racing brakes.

Aesthetically, the car gained some muscle with the new aerodynamic package which includes a new front bumper with canards, a new front splittec, a rear diffuser and of course the huge rear wing all made from carbon fiber. Finally, the car rides on 19 inch racing wheels. Being a stripped out racing beast, Racing One's 458 Italia weights just 1,200 kilograms (2,645 pounds).

Customers will be able to take their race car for a track day or participate in the German VLN racing series. More pictures in the gallery below.
