Mitchell Race Xtreme<\/a> finished building Deon Cooper’s Ferrari 458 GT3 race car at their company in Horotiu, New Zealand.

A set of freshly powder coated Motegi Racing wheels enhance the livery change. The car is now at Racecar and Custom Electrical Limited for owner Jason Swan to finish the electronics before visiting the dyno. We can’t wait to hear the Gen 2 IndyCar Chevy V8 screaming. <\/p>\n
