599 with manual 6-speed

Pretty sure there was an extensive thread a few months ago - try advanced search manual titles only 599 section

 

I have one - 150551

 

Your profile indicates you own a 612.
Is 150551 a 3 pedal 599?

 

I own both, an 06 manual 6spd 612 Scaglietti (148935) and a 07 manual 6spd 599 HGTE (150551). Both cars should be in "My Garage"

 

Your cars look great. That 599 is fabulous.

 

nice!

 

Thank you, both completely different cars.

 

Very nice!

 

You have my respect.

Not many people can claim having two modern V12 Ferraris with MT.

I also noticed the Jag - I used to have the rare XJR-S version (TRW collaboration).

 

Thanks man, I really do enjoy them. Im a big Jaguar and especially BRG color fan, so years ago when I saw the XJR coupe I had to have it. I'm still looking for the Nero Daytona/Cuoio 575 Superamerica 6spd manual car that I hear exists out there somewhere in the states..... anyone??

 

Way cool - both must be incredible to drive with proper transmissions.


As for the original question, it's my understanding that only 20 manual 599s came to the states.

 

I've heard 20-30. But I can only account for 5. one Pozzi, one Rosso Corsa, one Silver, one TDF and my Grigio Silverstone.

 

I can account for 26 between the US and Canada:

Red: 3
Gray: 3
Red/tan: 5
Red/black: 1
Gray/charcoal or black: 2
Gray/tan: 1
Blue/tan: 2
Blue/red: 1
Black/tan: 1
Black/black: 7

 

Great info, thanks!

 

you're the man. manual is the way to go.

 

Well, the 599 will be up for sale soon. And most likely the 612 as well. I am working on another Fcar purchase and don't need to have three Fcars!

 

The black Superamerica 6 speed definitely exists. I've seen photos.

 

Superamerica?

 

Last time I saw a blue tan 599 6spd was a year ago and it was for sale. I am amazed with the performance of the vehicle. By time I thought about shifting I should've already shifted. All I can say is what an animal. The 550 and 575 feel so tamed compared to the 599

 

Taz - That is the Unicorn for me..... I want a 6spd Superamerica. Well, as long as the top has already been replaced!!!

 

does anyone know how many came in RHD?

 

Andrew- Tops do not normally need replacing unless they have delaminated. Otherwise most problems are caused by the four pneumatic struts in the mechanism getting weak. Simple swap on two, $2K or so on the internal ones.

 

Considering your tastes, I imagine your next one will also have three pedals. Might I suggest a Barchetta?

Whatever it is, I hope you'll be generous enough to post the serial number.

 

I have one with the HGTE package....LHD....I purchased it in Belgium from British and Sportscars....
