2006 Ferrari 599 GTB



Mike:This new model ferrari combines the powerful 6ltr V12 of the Enzo with the likes of such classicss as the 250GT, 275GTB and the 365 GTB4 as its focal theme point. It also is set to replace both the 575M and 550 Maranello's which have been on the roads since 1996.
The V12 engine has under gone the knife and is now hailed as the most powerful V12 production engine of all time. Pouring in Ferrari's most advanced innovative engineering solutions applied to a mid-front mounted two seater coupe' whose technology has set an impressive benchmark for Ferrari's all-aluminum constructed body and chassis derived from a performance, driver involvement and design program mix.

Rob: This car is beautiful, the Pininfarina design gives the Ferrari 559 GTB aggressive lines which are perfectly integrated with the aerodynamics adopted to reach the performance figures Ferrari needs to meet for this car. The 599GTB looks a lot nicer than the 612 in my opinion.

The Ferrari 599 GTB boasts class leading power thanks to its 5,999cc V12 which is derived from the Enzo Ferrari supercar. The 599 engine produces 620hp, possibly more. Vroom Vroom.

The Ferrari 599 GTB replaces the last in that great line of berlinettas, the 575M Maranello, which was originally the 550 Maranello introduced in 1996, which in turn replaced the Testarossa.

The new car will be officially unveiled on the 28th of February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. I can't wait to see it in the flesh. The 550 was a favorite of mine, but has dated rather quickly in recent times..... The 599GTB would be a great addition to my garage..... Best I save up.
