599 gated stick manual Official picture thread

The upper part of thecenter console that is made of carbon fiber is different from OEM
It also looks like the shifter is more to the right in comparison to OEM

$880,000 !!!! Is that a record ?

 

Sorry, but this is overdone.

Thinking back, the 599 was clearly constructed for F1 shift technology.
I belive it was a 12.000 € option which 99% ordered, and Ferrari was sure that nearly nobody want's to get a hand shifter.
Some of the originally shifted models are poorly equiped, perhaps some buyer had not the money in backround to order the F1 and some good options.

Some of you will hate me, but if i want to shift i take the 550 (or a 575), for me the 599 GTB is a F1 shifted model and nothing else.

I believe so!

 

These consoles are custom made for EAG so its possible they are slightly different than the originals.
Its probably an error that happened during manufacturing of the carbon console. It doesnt seem like an intentional change.

 

To be very clear, the EAG design is intentionally what it is. Unlike the 575, the factory design for 599s has substantial differences in the both the lower and upper consoles when comparing F1 to MT. EAG simply modifies the upper carbon portion to lay in the existing F1 lower console, which is obviously an easier path for them. I'm not sure what kind of modifications are required underneath with regard to turret and shift linkage geometry with Art's design, but it is different when compared to OEM because he did not follow the that design, which would be substantially more work for him.

The car drives flawless, there is no vibration no chattering or rattling sounds.

Amazing specification! Care to share the S/N? Also, do I have ypur permission to share your photos on my public registry?

 

Also note that in Jonny's car that they use steel bezels around the two buttons in front of the gate, which is very often missed out on some of these conversions. It may be a detail, but details matter.

Of course the LHD 599's should have the gate with straight cut reverse per Jonny's car. Not hard to get hold of if you know where to look.

 

Yes

Manual 150861 for sale. When you pay so much, you change the awful Pentagon wheels !
https://buy.motorious.com/vehicles/294098/2007-ferrari-599-gtb-fiorano-2dr-cpe

 

I like the pentagon wheels!

 

Whilst a bit small for this car, these wheels in their polished version, with some lower profile tires and lowering springs can actually fill the empty space in the arches and look pretty good in my opinion. But its all in the name of originality i guess...
(NOTE: I was informed about the asking price for the car and it is definitely a new record for a manual!)

 

155077 is a conversion, now for sale:

I’m sure that @gated.599 will already have plenty of info about this one [emoji41]

 

Everything Dan and Art have told me throughout the development and testing of the car and conversion kit in general is in the listing information so nothing major to add for now! But I'll keep digging and see what I find

No one apparently interested?

 

It just open

 

Your told on August 29th:

"Here is my car, 6-speed OEM conversion done by the amazing guys at ExoticarsUSA.

Why do you sell it so quickly?

PS: I give you an info: I sold mine for 200K. I had "141 ABM" spec on the certificate.

 

Nothing has change in the car, it still an amazing car, 100% better since the manual conversion.
The problem is me, I’m always looking for the next project.
And the wife has me on a one project at a time diet.

Here are the last two projects.
