    Just wanted to share - a fellow F-Chatter and friend is working on quite the project :)

    Will be released at the Concorso in a few weeks...I'll be posting more teasers at my site, assuming the company doesn't kill me LOL.

    Haha just having the 'VX' at the end makes it all the more exciting! :D

    So what's this car going to have that other 599s don't?

    This could be pretty interesting as that looks very much like a 599XX rear "spoiler"....

    I posted that latest teaser to my blog before I sent the final to Vorsteiner...it's a sweet project. I think people will be very surprised.

    Think of it as somewhere between the 599XX and 599GTO looks-wise - I'll post another teaser this wkd. A great option for those that didn't get in on a GTO, want a little more bite to their 599, but don't want the all out track look of an XX.

    Vorsteiner is a top notch company! They've produced some awesome examples of Porsche and BMW conversions. I would expect nothing less than something superb from them. I loved their VRT Porsche Turbo!

    Damn I hate teasers...

    That thing seems to look pretty good according to the 2 pics I saw on your website.

    Is it sure it would be shown at Concorso ?

    Is it an official project of vorsteiner ?

    Damn I really hate teasers.

    Will this kit come as a package or can you buy parts that you like separately ? Kevin

    Much more racerish than I expected. But this is supposed to make the 599 GTB more XXish. About the only thing I like are the side skirts and maybe the hood. The rest of the makeover parts are too much for me.

    They are the HGTE wheels with the inside spoke painted in black? Or silverstone?

    Your correct,,I had the HGTE handling kit installed this Spring.The spokes were painted silverstone but because they are in a sort of valley they show darker..I was told its because they are just reflecting on themselves..I really like the look and finished it with CF centercaps..Kevin

    The VX looks like someone took their 599 to Pep Boys and bought some off the shelf tuner items IMO.

    This looks really good. I had zero interest in a 599 until I saw this. I agree that you can lose the scud stripe and tone down the multicolor treatment. What will these mods cost?

    I think Ferrari is usually not a good brand to modify. BMW's for exemple are far more suited for modifications.

    But Why not a Sick 599 with that bodykit ,a Novitec Twin-supercharger setup & and some nasty Wheels. Having one crazy modded 599 on earth woudn't be bad.
