599 GTO @ 135.000 km

The best post yet for these machines!

 

Based on the pics, doesn't look like its done more than 13500 kms..

 

Yep the ODO says it too!

 

Its the FIRST one. As the plaque says 1 of 599.

 

They all say that.....

 

For once and for all it means One AMONG 599

 

He specced his car with Alcantara/Leather scuderia seats... He drove the HELL out of his car.

@the owner : I love you

 

Daily driven 599 GTO = Boss Status. Not sure why the added kms add to the asking price though.

 

Definitely the highest mileage GTO I have ever seen. Good to know that this car looks mint and is on the original motor, tranny, etc. I always find it disturbing when I see a very high mileage F car (ie. a 458 or whatever) where the engine was replaced (rare but I've seen it). The GTO was built to last for multiple generations to enjoy her.

 

130k KM is about 80k miles, still super high for a ferrari thats 4 years old, for any car for that matter.
whats more amazing and why the mileage is high because its got snow tires ON in the pictures!! The owner must drove it all year round, good for him/her !!!!

i wish i got the guts to do that in my gto, i dont trust the reliability past warranty.

 

There are 3 (this one included) for sale on Mobile.de. I don't understand how they are asking almost 600k Euro's for the car... As bad ass as the car is, the other two are at the same price range except a tenth of the kilometers.

Not if you are in the UK!

 

Amen … congrats to the owner. That was 135,000 km of pure fun!!!

 

I still cant't understand those europeean ownners who didn't get the REAL & GENUINE Scuderia seats.

Comfort ? you want comfort ? Buy a Bentley fat ass.

Without them a GTO is not 100% a GTO.

American owners coudn't get them for some stupid administrative reasons so they are not concerned.

 

Haha I thought those tires looked different. Its takes a huge nut sack to drive the GTO in rain let alone snow (my GTO has never tasted the snow). My issue with driving the GTO in anything but dry roads is simply one of life preservation .... aka no traction. Unlike a 458 Italia that has amazing RWD traction, minimal wheelspin (at least above 1st gear), plus sweet rotational capabilities, the GTO has an extreme lack of traction in the high rev range right through 3rd gear. Meaning I could be doing 60 mph in 3rd gear, floor the car and get wild wheel spin (and no my tires are not bald). The sweet spot in the GTO is unequivocally in the higher rev range and thats where things can get hairy on anything but dry roads. No question in my mind that the GTO gearing is shorter and designed for max. power at higher revs than in the GTB. Anyway, I give this GTO owner kudos for having the competency to drive her basically every day for the last 4-5 years or so. Simply amazing and a real testament to the GTO reliability factor.

 

Driving the GTO in the rain is fun and makes you feel alive. Living in Belgium with all the rain we have one has no other choice if you wish to enjoy the beast. You are right about the traction: You need to get temperature in the tires or it get's really tricky but makes you feel alive 100% (the factor I love most while driving the GTO). The fact that you have a massive V12 with plenty of torque is an advantage in the rain. Short shift and go a gear higher. That helps to keep her pointing in the right direction.

 

That's fantastic to see. The price? What happened to the days when you stood between a new F12 and GTO?

Wreaks havoc on my GTO plans...

 

+10000

 

Boss.

 

Agree 100%. In the rain must short shift her or your into a wall or off the road. Been saying for awhile that you'd be hard pressed to find a steed that makes you feel more alive than the GTO.

 

Agree. The GTO makes you feel so alive … and that's what makes it such a special car!! Happy motoring
