    Nice find there, thanks. That 599XX decal on the front windshield must cover the top half of the window. Still, Dario could probably drive Fiorano blindfolded...

    What was that saying, good artists do something and...anyway, can't remember the rest.

    Jim, did you look at the other type of configuration of the winglet. PF seem to like this as they put it on the Rossa concept car and I think I remember reading that they suggested it on Kappa's 612. I was wondering what type of performance difference there might be.

    The proof is found in the wind tunnel and on the track.

    That is pure magic. The down shifts are impressive as well as the speed of the gear changes. What a car. The FXX is still my favourite but this gets very close to it.

    Great find. Thanks.

    Cheers,

    M

    Wow what an awesome car. There seems to be a lot of data aquisition on that thing. I know it is a "test car" similar to the FXX but I have never seen a screen on an FXX like that. Am I wrong?

    Simple incredible, that in car vid, that sound. Chasing a friend in his 599 this moring, the sound of the Tubi echoing off the cliff faces, that V12 motor is very, very special, for me there is little doubt its going to be one of the all time great Ferrari engines.

    Nice, nice car, nice sound, but what about the perf? how many customers as of today reserved their car to be part of this program as the FXX are still runing worldwide for show and for test? what is finally the interest of this 599XX program?

    I can tell you with first hand experience, that the car sounds BRUTAL. I went to Maranello on the 7th of this month, and saw Schumacher testing this car. He did some donuts for us too. I will try and post a video of it, but didn't find the place that the guy in the first video found to film from - so its not that good.
