    Beautiful spec. You are going to enjoy your 599. Word of advice, take your time getting to know her, the rear end breaks traction very easily if you mash the accelerator from a standstill. 315 rears help to cure this. You will not be disappointed with the 599 very fast, handles well especially if you fit the HGTE kit. The F12 and 812 are faster but also more clinical in how they deliver the driving experience. I was going for an F12 but went for the 599 and invested the cash difference and have no regrets not getting the F12. Don't get me wrong the F12 is magnificent but you will not be disappointed with the 599 she delivers on all levels.

    Great advice! Yes I plan on taking my time getting to know how she likes to be treated! Any car with this much horse power deserves a lot of respect and I don’t plan on making it in anyone’s crash videos... For me the 599 Pininfarina design is classic Ferrari and like a fine wine gets better as time goes by, I love it’s understated nature, It doesn’t scream look at me but draws you in!

    Congrats! You are going to love the 599. I got mine back in July, and still learning and loving it each time I drive.
