    Hi Guys

    Ferrari will make a 599 convertible. It will be a Strictly limited number production and much anticipated to sell out.

    599 production will continue as usual. Apparently all is developed just waiting for the right time make the most impact.

    Let you know as soon as I get the order confirmed.

    Regards

    Mike

    I only hope it will be a real convertible,with real soft (hopefully) top that is usable ,unlike that disaster 550 Barchetta.

    It will be NOT soft top convertible for sure, it is no use even to dream about it. Ferrari is focusing now on developing different hard top retractable roof constructions and we will see only hard top retractable roof constructions on ALL Ferrari future convertibles starting with "F149", 599 Spider and continuing with "F142" Spider. Best.

    I would not be surprised at mid $400k in US (MSRP).

    That is about right for an estimated MSRP---what they actually sell for is a different story.....The law of supply and demand will dictate pricing..

    Well equipped 599 stickers at mid $350k currently(market value closer to $500k),so I assume at least $100k for the "convertible" option.

    My dealer told me that expected price increase is about 20-25% to 599 GTB. Best.

    Hi Guys

    Will let you know what's, what with these orders. On the pricing again a better idea in January.

    Be careful out there guys, its getting cold and black ice is looming.

    Later

    According to the posts "Ferrari will make a 599 convertible. It will be a Strictly limited number production and much anticipated to sell out."

    so the newest information is from 2007??

    I didn't check the dates. I forget that these threads get recycled from time to time. Got excited and thought iceman bops had come back from the dead. Sorry!

    No worries, it just seems odd that in 2007 some well connected people confirmed that this car will be built, and we have heard very little since then..Has the factory elected not to build a topless 599 and focus on the XX/GTO instead? Or will this be a car that will be released for the last 1-2 years of 599 production?

    OOOO, Careful there cowboy. The car is sweet, it is that folding thingy that they gave me with the car that is the problem.

    I took it out of the garage last week (the top, that is) and opened it up--going to wrap it in plastic before the summer pollen strikes. A lizard jumped out.

    I think that is the best use for that contraption--a lizard perch.
