    Alright, I'm an idiot. What is that yellow button between the exhaust? An external kill switch?

    Oh wow how long is the 599XX going to be in NYC? I'm going to be in NYC April 17-19 and now I'm going to have to make a stop there. I take it this is Ferrari/Maserati of Manhattan? Any information on this would be awesome!!!!

    Does anyone know what the black things are that replaced the taillights? They look like some type of vents or something.

    should just be altered brake lights, with mesh covering so that the shards dont fall onto the track (if crashed of course, lets hope we don't see that)


    Look at the center consol pic, what's the "AC Fun" button? Does that call the Miller chill train and drop off beers?

    Very awesome pics btw.

    It's actually the air outlet for fans in the trunk that produce rear downforce for the car. Here's an exerpt from the press release on that page

    The "Actiflow" system increases downforce and/or cuts drag depending on the car's trim cornering conditions, courtesy of the use of a porous material in the diffuser and two fans in the boot which channel the air flow from under the car out through two grilles next to the tail-lights. Winglets have been added to the rear buttresses to increase downforce. while synthetic jets have also been incorporated into the rear of the car to control and smooth the air flow and to reduce drag.

    They are vents. There are fans in the trunk which suck the air from under the car and vent it out where the tail lights were.

    It certainly lost the "classiness" of the 599...but WOW! It looks fantastic!
