Ferrari has released shots of the 2018 Ferrari 488 GTE Evo in AF Corse’s full FIA WEC livery, following a shakedown test with both of the team’s cars at Fiorano.

The 2018 version of the 488 GTE for the WEC will appear in a new shade of metallic red, teased in a video produced by Ferrari HERE. The windshield displays the colours of the world title won by Ferrari amongst both drivers and manufacturers in the GTE Pro class’ debut season as a full World Championship.

AF Corse’s full-season driver roster remains unchanged for this season, World Champions James Calado and Alessandro Pier Guidi set to defend their title in the #51, while Sam Bird and Davide Rigon share the #71.

The third drivers who will compete at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours are not yet confirmed.

DSC understands that the Balance of Performance wind tunnel test at the WindShear facility saw the originally presented 488 GTE Evo shorn of its planned turning vanes on the front corners.
