  • Powered by an Enzo-derived, naturally aspirated, 6-litre V-12 delivering 670 horsepower via a six-speed automated-manual transaxle gearbox

  • Delivered new to Rome; displayed 20,790 kilometres at the time of cataloguing

Only the revered 250 GTO and 288 GTO models had been bestowed with the Gran Turismo Omologato nomenclature prior to the arrival of the hard-edged 599 GTO in 2010. A naturally aspirated, 6-litre V-12 that delivered some 670 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated-manual transmission dominated a package that was almost 100 kilograms lighter than the standard 599. Accordingly, the car lapped the Fiorano test track a second faster than the halo Enzo, from which its engine was derived.

The 599 GTO offered here was delivered new on 12 November 2010 via official Ferrari dealer, Sa.Mo.Car of Rome, to a resident of the Italian capital. Specified in the stunning shade of Grigio Medio and complemented by a Nero racing livery, which most prominently adds a centre stripe, the exterior also gained carbon fibre headlight tubs, Cup wheels with carbon fibre wheel caps, plus a Giallo Modena finish for the brake callipers. Further notable options include the selection of privacy glass for the rear windows behind the flying buttresses and the factory installation of paint-protection film.

A Nera Alcantara interior was treated to a similarly bespoke configuration. The luggage compartment sill and accents on the fascia are finished in carbon fibre, while the carbon fibre racing seats are fitted with four-point harnesses. The shade Grigio Chiaro was selected for the stitching and a white tachometer was installed. Although a track-focused special edition, conveniences include a roll bar, Bose sound system, satellite navigation, plus front and rear parking sensors.

Consigned to auction by its third owner, who is based in Alsace, this example benefits from a June 2024 service completed by Ferrari SF Grand Est Mulhouse at a cost of €3,589 (invoice available to view on file). Displaying 20,790 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, the car is accompanied by its folio containing owner’s guides plus coveted “Red Book” from Ferrari Classiche. This 599 GTO would make for a statement addition to any collection of ultimate modern-day supercars.
