    It's my first Ferrari, so I'm very excited (and a little nervous) about it.

    Obligatory picture:

    OMG!! I love 599's and that is the EXACT color I want :) Is that an HGTE? What is the interior color (if you tell me Cuoio, that will put me over the edge :D)

    Congrats and enjoy! ;)

    Your 599 looks excellent; perhaps you can share the interior color!
    One word of caution in that you have a lot of horsepower under your right foot. This 599 model does not have the advanced traction control like say a newer F12 so learn about that power with a degree of caution!

    Yes, it has the HGTE package, but dealer installed since it’s a 2007. Sorry to disappoint you, but the interior is black.

    Great car, enjoy it. I love mine to bits! Just get used to the power before you go too crazy, it is mental to drive.

    The more I see the 599 the more I like it.
    An iron fist in a velvet glove.

    Right now I'm struggling with selling a GT2 (too radical and stiff) and moving into a 430 CS (another boy racer ?) or a 599.

    I will take some more pictures of the car this weekend and post them. It has been really well maintained by the previous owners, and the entire interior was upgraded to leather.

    I bought a black 599 & before long I had installed a Fabspeed straight-pipe kit. Really wakes it up. I put in a custom crossover pipe later to make it sound less resonant.

    Interesting. Do you have any videos of it so we can hear what it sounds like?

    Here's one of our Secondary Catbypass Pipes:



    Adds a nice, exotic tone but still keeps it refined. Install is a breeze and you'll free up some additional power as well.
