    The 599 looks sexy with the challenges wheels...

    That design is ingenius, check out the S-form on the side. Drooooooooooool.

    One question, is that rear intake near the wheel to cool the brakes? the engine is front mounted so I don't see any other purpose.

    That silver 599 with challenge wheels is the best looking 599 color/wheel combo from all the pics

    I am liking this car more and more every time i see it...

    cant wait to see it in person...

    i agree... the silver range looks nice on this car as does black... titanium would be sharp i think... havent seen that one yet.
    strange that red is far down my list... tho that seems to be the case with their designs recently...

    When I first saw the car at Geneva, I thought the darker the color the better. But seeying the silver - WOW!! This car can only be truly appreciated in natural light. It is fabulous.
    By the way, the vent on the side just in front of the rear wheels is most definetely for brake cooling.

    That picture is the first one I have actually liked of a 599. Those wheels look great.

    I have a feeling that normal people are gonna say that the 599 looks like a viper.

    I meant normal as in people who think their Ford mustang is the best car in the world.

    Well, I guess that's not THAT normal.

    Long time ago had a neighbor who thought his Chevy Vega with 4 cyl engine was the best car in the World.
