In this riveting video by Tj Hunt, we witness the audacious undertaking of transforming a Ferrari 488 into a Ferrari 48 GT3 Evo. With a tight deadline of just 5 months until the grand reveal at SEMA, Tj, along with his trusty team of Dylan and Mark, embark on a journey filled with challenges and uncertainties. The project involves stripping down the Ferrari to its bare bones, preparing to tackle the monumental task of converting a street car into a hybrid GT3 Evo.

As the team delves into the intricate process of fitting GT3 components onto the Ferrari, they face a myriad of obstacles due to the stark differences between production and race cars. The meticulous planning and critical thinking required to navigate this complex conversion are evident as they weigh the options between full replacements and modified over fenders. Each decision made is crucial, as they aim to achieve a seamless integration of the GT3 parts while maintaining the essence of the original Ferrari.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for pushing boundaries, Tj and his team meticulously trim and shave parts to ensure a perfect fit. The project unfolds with a sense of urgency and excitement, as irreversible modifications are made to the Ferrari in pursuit of the GT3 transformation. Despite the daunting nature of the task at hand, the team remains resolute and focused on the ultimate goal of creating a one-of-a-kind Ferrari GT3 Evo that will leave enthusiasts in awe.
