2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano For Sale

Replacing the 575M Maranello as Ferrari’s two-seat, V-12 GT standard-bearer, the 599 GTB Fiorano debuted at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. A groundbreaking achievement, the new model celebrated its maker’s rich history and competition DNA with its Fiorano name honoring Ferrari’s Pista di Fiorano test track. While intended as a dual-purpose grand touring and sports car, the 599 could easily outperform Ferrari’s iconic twin-turbo F40 of the late 1980s, even with its luxurious accoutrements.

The 599’s 6.0L DOHC 48-valve V-12 engine, internally designated F140C, was derived directly from that of the harder-edged and decidedly menacing Enzo, which, just a few years earlier, reigned as the most technologically advanced supercar ever to emanate from Maranello. Weighing in at 3,953 pounds, according to Car & Driver magazine’s June 2007 road test, which was 691 pounds more than the uncompromising Enzo, and packing 39 fewer horses, the 599 GTB clocked a blistering 3.7-second sprint from zero to 62 MPH, rivaling the Enzo. Much of this stunning performance must be attributed to Ferrari’s brilliant F1-SuperFast gearbox, which was refined to deliver lighting-fast gear changes in 100 milliseconds. Developing 611 BHP at 7,600 RPM, the 599 GTB is capable of reaching 205 MPH, and thanks to its F1-derived traction control system, it can also challenge the accelerative urge of the McLaren F1.
