    I currently own a Maranello Red 2013 F12 and am considering purchasing the attached Bianco Fuji 2011 GTO which is for sale at Ferrari of Beverly Hills.

    Ordinarily I would NEVER consider a white Ferrari and I've owned Ferrari's since 1997. This particular GTO caught my eye and I feel it's uniquely optioned out which I why I'm considering this purchase.

    It appears to have every imaginable option for a GTO and interior is one of a kind based on all other GTO I've seen to date. The "asking" price is $549K which is definitely on the VERY high side and perhaps that price can be knoced down a bit.

    I'm VERY interested in my fellow FCHAT'ers opinion on this particular GTO and am thankful in advance of any and all objective or subjective opinions you might have.

    Cheers!

    I think the color combo is stunning but its also more of an individual thing vs the standard rosso/ black. Due to that, I think the car should trade below their asking price but this is FoBH and they seem like they price their cars higher, probably because they can. If you buy it and decide to sell it, my guess is you would have to price it a drop under the current market for a typical GTO to move it along because of the unique color scheme.

    All that said, I think the car is gorgeous. The only thing I don't love is the unpainted CF rocker. Those always bother me because they look unfinished. Some people love that look though. Reminds me of cars from the 70s that got repaired with other car parts.

    I love it! I like different combos. I also like the rockers and the painted roof too. Buy it because YOU like it, its a GTO with low miles and its NOT red. Good Luck

    That is a very beautiful GTO. I concur with the others that if YOU like the color combination that is really all that matters. I've only had my GTO a few weeks and I can candidly say that she is simply the most magnificent ride I have ever had. I don't miss my 458 at all. Another factor for you to consider besides the low mileage is that this GTO will be eligible for a Ferrari Power warranty from an authorized dealer. You can likely purchase a GTO for thousands less from a private seller, but if something goes awry you'd be SOL with GTO's being out of their 3 year factory warranty. Seems to me for the first year (maybe longer ?) the power warranty will give you some modest peace of mind. Let us know how it works out.

    Go for it! 599 GTO is one of limited Ferrari production with the great awesome design. You would not regret.

    I have a bianco Fuji GTO and the color is stunning. It is also a very expensive option. Don't buy it as an investment as I don't think it makes sense. You are gonna pay over sticker for that car no matter how you slice it. Just buy it cause you love it and we all want you to have it

    Sick! Was looking at this one too :) I hear through the grape vine that the owner isn't really budging on the "asking" price. But that's what "I hear." lol

    Well I am staggered a dealer can describe the car is a 599 GTB FIORANO GTO, I mean really.

    As far as the car goes, stunning exterior but the interior isn't really to my taste, however I can tell you this a GTO will give a different experience to the F12...

    Wait… I just realize when reading "Ferrari 360 CS" this is not 599 GTO, 599 GTB with the modification of GTO trim…. Hhmm.. it is totally different cars. If you are realize and that the GTB that is you are looking for then go for it, just make sure what you are buying is GTB not GTO.

    I love the combination. Different with a gutsy interior. Go for it

    It's a GTO - Just a guy/girl that puts cars on internet for the dealer being an internet geek as opposed to a car guy/girl.

    Not a fan of the interior color but a few other cars have gone through there with that Iroko shade. I wonder if this GTO was ordered by the same guy who sold his white with Iroko interior SA Aperta some time ago at FoBH?

    It's a full up GTO no doubt. I would take a look at this car in person for sure as I looked at it when looking around for mine, it's a beautiful car and color combination but not for me. I'm not sure the color works correctly for a hard core machine like this. But then again that's just me.

    BUT machine wise, the best car on the planet but I'm biased :)
