Ferrari 575M (2003)

Omschrijving

Ferrari 575M GTC Stradale | 1 of 2 One of only two Ferrari 575 GTCs built. An exceptional opportunity to own a rare piece of Ferrari GT racing history. An extensive photo gallery and the accompanying documentation are available on the Kaeve Cars website. There are cars that leave the factory exactly as their manufacturers intended. And then there are cars born from an idea. From a vision. From a simple question: what if? The Ferrari 575M GTC Stradale presented here is the result of an extensive bespoke project, developed and built entirely by Kaeve Cars. The ambition was not to copy an existing Ferrari, but to explore what a uncompromising, circuit-oriented 575 might have looked like had Ferrari itself developed a road-going interpretation of the legendary 575 GTC. The result is a unique Ferrari combining Italian design, contemporary materials and meticulous craftsmanship. A car conceived without compromise, with every modification forming part of a coherent overall concept. The project began with a Ferrari 575M showing 57,326 kilometres. Its original naturally aspirated Ferrari V12 was deliberately left untouched. The twelve-cylinder engine is, after all, the heart of the car. Performance air filters and a TÜV-approved sports exhaust system allow the engine to breathe more freely and deliver an even more evocative soundtrack, while preserving its original mechanical character. While the underlying engine remained largely untouched, almost everything surrounding it was redesigned. With the exception of the roof and doors, all body panels were replaced with specially manufactured carbon-fibre components. The body was widened all around, with the wheel arches completely reshaped to give the car a substantially more muscular stance. The bonnet was redesigned with integrated cooling louvres, while a bespoke carbon-fibre front splitter with integrated aerodynamic elements was developed for the front end. At the rear, an imposing carbon-fibre diffuser and fixed GT rear wing define the car's appearance. Combined with the widened rear axle, specially manufactured centre-lock racing wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, the result is a Ferrari that looks closer to a GT racing car than a traditional grand tourer. The entire body was finished in Ferrari's historic Tour de France Blue, a colour that perfectly complements the design and contrasts beautifully with the exposed carbon-fibre details. Motorsport-inspired features, including aluminium quick-release fasteners for the bonnet and boot lid, a racing fuel filler and towing eyes, are not merely decorative additions. They form an integral part of the overall design. The interior was equally comprehensively reworked. New Sparco racing bucket seats were specially retrimmed in red Alcantara. The centre console follows the same colour scheme, while the dashboard was completely retrimmed in deep blue Alcantara and finished with light-blue contrast stitching, subtly echoing the exterior colour. The headlining was also retrimmed, creating a consistent and carefully considered interior. The original door panels were replaced by newly manufactured matte carbon-fibre panels, featuring exposed fasteners and light-blue nylon door pulls. Both side windows and the rear screen were replaced with lightweight polycarbonate panels, with the side windows incorporating integrated sliding sections in the style of GT racing cars. An integrated roll cage sits behind the front seats, while the entire rear section was reconstructed in carbon fibre. Four-point harnesses complete the motorsport-inspired interior. To complement the revised bodywork and wider track, the car received a bespoke Intrax suspension setup developed specifically for this project. The braking system was deliberately left in its original configuration; not every component needs to be changed when the original engineering already provides an excellent foundation. What distinguishes this project is not any single modification, but the way all its elements work together. There are no shortcuts or arbitrary collections of aftermarket parts. Every alteration was conceived with the same vision and executed with the same attention to detail. The result feels less like a modified Ferrari and more like a complete new interpretation that respects the essence of the 575M. The Ferrari 575M GTC Stradale is intended for the enthusiast seeking something that exists nowhere else. It represents a distinctive interpretation of Ferrari's GT racing heritage, realised through high-quality materials, skilled craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail.

It was originally supplied through the official Ferrari dealer in Modena, Italy. The available documentation indicates that the car spent its early years in the Rome area. Maintenance invoices covering the period from 2013 to 2019 are available. The most recent documented service was carried out in June 2020 by official Ferrari dealer C.O.H.M. Bollingen, at a recorded mileage of 56,989 kilometres. Three original Ferrari keys are present. The car is supplied with German vehicle registration documents. However, we cannot guarantee that it will be eligible for re-registration in Germany. A rare opportunity With its distinctive GTC identity, extensive bespoke carbon-fibre construction and carefully developed motorsport specification, this Ferrari represents an unusual opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a highly individual interpretation of Ferrari's GT racing heritage. An extraordinary project, built by Kaeve Cars, for someone who appreciates the difference between owning a Ferrari and owning something truly individual.
