Ferrari 599 GTO Pictures and Specifications

Based on the track-only 599XX, The 599 GTO replaces the Enzo as Ferrari's fastest road car with a record lap time of 1’24” at Ferrari's own Fiorano test track.

The 599 GTO is powered by a 671hp V12 with a maximum torque of 457 lb-ft @ 6500 rpm. 0-60mph comes in 3.2 seconds and acceleration continues all the way up to 208mph.

Fundamental to the GTO’s performance is the innovative approach to chassis development which, for the first time on a production car, saw the integration between a handling set-up tuned for a level of responsiveness that is close to the limit and highly sophisticated electronic controls. The result is the almost complete absence of understeer and a truly communicative chassis.

As is Ferrari’s policy, every new Ferrari features new solutions for a road car. Thus the 599 GTO is equipped with the latest, second-generation carbon-ceramic brakes which are lighter and offer better performance, new aerodynamic innovations, such as the wheel doughnuts which increase aerodynamic efficiency as well as improve brake cooling, and the Supersport tyres developed by Michelin include a wider front tyre for greater roadholding. The driver-car interface is also new with the adoption of the Virtual Race Engineer (VRE) which provides the driver with instantaneous information on performance.

Only 599 will be made

  1. Wow, Ferrari is finally making a fast car! First real supercar since the Enzo, I think. Straightline speed in combination with great handling…It’s going to be a beast of a car.

    • Ferrari is doing really well now, nothing much for them to worry about.

      • Ya, Ferrari is raking in the dough, they should do good.

        • They are doing better than Lambo currently.

          • They are doing much better because they have a full line-up, Lambo only has 3-7 models.

          • I do not really see much interest in some Lambos as Ferraris, other people might also have that feeling.

  2. It is going to be a beast. Always loved the looks and the engine, now they gave it the suspension to match. I can only imagine what the F70 will be like.

    • Definitely, that would really wild to imagine.

      • Look it up, you might find some concept pictures of it.

        • That would be even wilder.

          • I am sure that it would be lower than the new Jota, because considering how low the F50 was in the 90s, this should be a super, super low car.

          • Yeah, people can only imagine what it would be like.

  3. This ferrari is off the hook, superfine supercar. What more does an individual need from a car! I’d definitely buy one if I had the bucks!!!

  4. Looks a lot similar as the fiorano, except the grille.

  5. I don’t think it is too different, but if you look at the higher side view pic, you will see air vents that differ from the Fiorano’s, and from the rear you see an air director whatever thing.

    • It probably has to do something with performance.

  6. It probably should differ as it could be part of the higher speed. Everything cannot be the same.

  7. Ferraris are actually more liveable and driveable than Lambos.

  8. Yeah, Lambo just quit the murcielago, time for a new flagship.

  9. Sad, I liked the murci, but as you said, new flagship, has to be good.

    • Obviously, this would be one of the most important cars for Lambo.

  10. It needs to be good, I heard that the performance sounds pretty promising. Hope for the best.

  11. And most performance predictions when the car is in the near future are usually pretty acurate.

  12. You accidently made a typo, “accurate”, not acurate.

  13. I keep missing my keys, because I type 46 words-per-minute and just fly over the keys, I have the right to miss a key or two every here and there unless it is an assignment for something, then I have to take my time.

  14. Yeah, I sometimes type really fast too, but I do not mess up that much though.
