Back from Geneva...

... and I must admit the 599GTB is a FANTASTIC car. Much better in real life than in the official pictures. There is a nice choice of colours, trim and alloy wheels, so it's guaranteed that everyone will be able to configure it to their taste. The swiss importer was telling me they already have an 18-month waiting list!!! Seen live the car is very well proportioned (if slightly big!!) and extremely aggressive. The 620HP coupled to a 1600Kg weight (thanks to the 100% aluminium structure) give it a performance advantage over the Murcielago. Also the engine is so far back that the weight distribution is now effectively the same as a mid-engined car. I can't wait to try one, I'm trying to get into the official press day in Fioran. It will be the ONLY way to test the 599GTB - dealers are not going to get any demo cars!!!

 

Hopefully I'm going to the press day to test one as a journalist, on April 19...
