At speeds in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph), aerodynamics play a key role in the way any car handles. The GTC may look similar to the 360 Cup Car (Challenge Stradale), but there are some drastic changes which allow the new racer to stick to the road better. A revised front intake, skirts and rear spoiler are the key aerodynamic elements.

Prices have yet to be announced but don't expect these race-bread stallions to cost less than their road-going 360 namesakes, despite their reduced luxury content. After all, the GTC is based on the Challenge Stradale that starts at more than $300,000. Of course, the price of the cars will be much less than the money needed to challenge competitors in the n-GT championship.
