Presenting 599 GTO: Official

I love Ferrari. That the mystique is a big part of it, I can not deny. I love it all. I'm a little behind the times. I don't care. I find the Ferrari that fits me easily.


Yes, I'll be looking at the used cars again. And I can't wait !

In reality, I'm feeling that the standard 599 may be my pick. I like GTs. Who doesn't?

 

Peter what tires does it has?

 

That's pretty shocking really. A Ferrari dealer you were speaking to??

 

Thank you so much !!! any more pictures ??

 

Can somebody confirm if these rims are the BBS FI ?

BBS will only make them for Porsche, Ferrari and BMW M3 and they are lighter than most carbon and magnesium wheels on the market.. If not lighter than all of them.

EDIT:

 

Yes - The guy has been selling Ferrari's at the dealer for quite some time.

I got the impression from him that Ferrari has a much easier time outside of the US with everything. He went on to say they have more control of their dealers and customer relations are a lot stronger.

If the factory decides to pull the GTO name. I will pull my order and I don't think I will necessarily be alone.

 

The car has been launched...why would they do that!!????

Its just an incompetent dealer comment.....

 

+1

That guy must be living on another planet. Too crazy for words ...

 

Has he seen the back of it? It says GTO right on it.

 

I haven't been there myself, a friend took these shots. I am sure he will post more pics when he will be back home.

 

They don't look to be the same. the GTO wheel has a 'flatter' hub, whereas the other pic, the main spoke is raised all the way until it meets the center cap, making it look longer. I love that wheel... maybe a variation of the same wheel?

 

Possible.Maybe ferrari requested a slightly different design to be sure to have their "own" wheels

 

This design has been used amongst several manufacturers. And I'm sure Ferrari selected this style for a reason beyond looks.

 

Yeah - which is why my first response was - oh boy!

I wonder how many GTO's will be produced, I find it hard to believe they hault at 599 if demand is far greater. Are there numbers associated like the Sessenta?

 

Its my understanding that each GTO will be individually numbered 1 thru 599.

 

They will all be marked as 'Limited 1 of 599'

 

right

 

No, I don't see a Viper or anything else, even in photos. In the flesh nothing else would enter my mind. Viper's look like cartoon cars compared to this.


Forza,


Cavallini

 

Front mesh reminds me a bit of the Continental Speed.

I just read through this thread.

To be honest I have some mixed feelings about this. My personal opinion is that they should have reserved the GTO badge for the Enzo successor, not an extension of an already established model. Yeah, yeah, maybe they made some body changes, but it isn't enough in my opinion to really separate a "normal" 599 and a 599 GTO. Yes, the 288GTO was based on the 308, but you could definitely tell the two apart - there were 250 GTO styling cues on the 288 GTO. I dont see them unless I am really missing anything other than the "heritage" paint scheme.

The GTO is some hallowed ground to be walking on in either the 250 or 288 configuration. This car just does not do it for me like either of those cars do.

Just my humble opinion...

where can we see the other historic livery ?

 

I believe there is one such GTO so finished; it has not been shown around as openly as the other configurations. I am sure that as more owners start flocking to the Atelier to spec their cars, more sightings of the beast will be reported.

 

Yea that´s what i´m thinking too, but either way i think they look spectacular.

Looks really light in it´s design.
