These pictures were on the Ferrari press website. Maybe an announcement for a facelifted 599 GTB?

It was already being discussed here--> http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252507 ...isn't it a bit early for the updated 599? It came out 3 years ago and it just received the HGTE package?
575 came out with HGTC package in 2004. 599 came out in 2006. HGTC package was a big deal at the time as CS and Enzo were only cars with cc brakes.
I heard 600GTB is a 599 GTO. Basically a little less weight...some facelift aero package. You could say a 599 SCUD. But then again...Ferrari surprise us all the time. Lets wait and see, am sure things will develop quite fast.
I think 599 has 2 more years before a major makeover. HGTE is no big deal. It is not like HGTC was for 575 or 612 which transformed personality of the car
Some spy photos in this forum (599) a few months back showed an upgrade on the way. With sales slowing down across the board, I wouldn't be surprised if this is revealed later this year for an intro sometime in 2010. New product keeps big factories humming.
Perhaps an upgrade in late 2010 though I think a spider will arrive at the time as any upgrade...to me a 599 spider with a Tubi will be nothing short of motoring perfection!
