ITALIAN IN SIXTY SECONDS: Want to look and feel Italian? Drive a Ferrari race car on the track. Built by Italian Design and Racing’s Jim Carpenter in collaboration with legendary Lamborghini test driver Bob Wallace in 1989, the one-of-two 1980 308 GTB was transformed into a fiberglass wide-body 288 GTO beast. Lightweight and nimble, the commissioned "308 GTO" is a fully caged, race-prepped, SCCA-winning Italian thoroughbred.
Nicole Johnson discovers the addicting sound of Michael Carpenter’s high-revving classic Ferrari V8 race car as she takes it to the track at Radford Racing School.
MORE ON MICHAEL CARPENTER: Michael is the son of Jim Carpenter, owner and founder of Italian Design and Racing in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Continuing in the family business, Michael has grown up racing and building hot-rodded Italian sports cars along with his Dad and brother, Chris.
