In 1990, a team led by Carlo Chiti (ex-Ferrari and Autodelta) and Fulvio Ballabio (single-seater and prototype driver) introduced the world's first GT with a carbon shell, powered by a Lamborghini V12, as part of an official partnership , it is technically ahead of the contemporary tubular chassis Ferrari F40. Two cars entered the 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans, in preliminary tests in April, one of them was clocked at 354 km/h in the Hunaudières. Unfortunately, for reasons unrelated to sport, the team will ultimately not enter the cars in the race. |
