Fabio Barone, president of the Ferrari Club Passione Rossa of Italy, lapped Tianmenshan Mountain Road in less than 11 minutes in a Ferrari 458. The road, located in Tianmen Mountain National Park in central China's Hunan province, is a tortuous, twisting road leading up to the top of the mountain. The road features no less than 99 heart-pounding bends.
In order to earn a better lap time, Barone replaced the original steel body of the car with carbon fiber, reducing the vehicle’s weight by 90 kilograms. He also upgraded its rims, suspension and circuits.
