    Hi

    Watched the video once more.

    At 3:05 the guy said, the SA Aperta came out with a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox, and about 50 of the 80 has the older 6 speed F1 gearbox.

    Is this correct ?
    I never heard that before.

    I can't believe this.

    Can someone confirm this ?

    Nope, too much reengineering required for a limited production vehicle. Plus she would have had to be recertified, consumption tests redone, etc.

    There might be a confusion between the 599GTB F1 gearbox and the 599GTB aesthetic elements, such as the bumpers and front hood. True that some SA Aperta borrow elements from the GTB, but the SA Aperta is definitely based on the 599GTO mechanics (engine, gearbox, clutch...).

    And the number of 80 is still funny to hear

    Daniel, yes, way more. Some estimations are around 120-140 cars.

    Can't believe the crap people are saying...

    Not really. The SA Aperta is not a GTO Spider. It's a 599 HGTE chassis with a GTO engine. It's far closer to a regular GTB than to a GTO

    Can someone tell me how the tire size on this car compares to the 599, HGTE, and GTO?

    599 GTB:
    front - 245/40ZR19 (245/35ZR20 optional)
    rear - 305/35ZR20

    599 SA Aperta:
    front - 245/35 ZR20
    rear - 305/35 ZR20

    599 GTB HGTE:
    front - 245/35ZR20
    rear - 305/35ZR20
    It is the softer compound combined with a drop in ride height and more negative camber that do the trick on the HGTE.

    599 GTO:
    front - 285/30 ZR20
    rear - 315/35 ZR20
    The suspension and electronics of the GTO differ much more from the other models with quite a few 'tricks' taken from the 599XX programme.

    So does the SA have the GTO 6 to 1 exhaust? What about shocks? This car sounds like they took a bunch of left over GTO engines and stuck them in a 599, cut the top off and done.

    My question is a bit off topic but related to what you just said: did Ferrari go the same way for the F60 America, with a F12b basis fitted with a f12tdf engine?
