The Ferrari 599 succeeded its predecessor, the 575, in the summer of 2006 and brought the front-engined V12 Grand Tourer into the modern age. Whereas the 550 and 575, even at their introduction, always felt like modern classics, the 599 was every inch a new-age Ferrari. The all-aluminium chassis, F1 SuperFast gearbox, F1-Trac stability and traction control, magnetic semi-active dampers and carbon-ceramic brakes, all wrapped in aggressive, aero-optimised bodywork with minimal overhangs and maximum presence was a mission statement. Top billing, though, went to the engine - a lightly modified version of the Enzo's 6-litre V12 with a mighty 611bhp at 7,600rpm, endowing Ferrari's new series-production flagship with truly sensational performance with 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 205mph. Of the 3,500 Ferrari 599 GTB F1 Fioranos produced globally, the UK's share, as is the norm with right-hand drive Ferraris, amounted to under 10% of the total production.
Options on this fantastic, front-engine V12 grand tourer include the desirable Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione (HGTE) package which includes stiffer suspension, rear anti-roll bar, lower ride height, recalibrated electronic suspension setting while the software for the transmission was also revised for quicker shifts. The HGTE package also fits the interior with racing style carbon bucket seats complete with special script, the exterior receives wider 20" multi-piece forged wheels, as well as an upgraded factory exhaust system. The cumulative improvements of the HGTE package push the 599 over the line of Grand Tourer and squarely into Supercar territory.
This beautiful 599 GTB Fiorano is finished in Bianco Avus with factory painted Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof and benefits from the HGTE package including the fully electric carbon seats, a sports exhaust and Carboceramic brakes with red calipers.
Supplied by Dick Lovett Sporting Ltd and comes with a complete annual Ferrari service record with stamps and invoices, as well as the original leather-bound Vehicle Identification Passport with images of the car being built at Maranello. The car is in exceptional condition and with only 11,660 miles from new, its firmly in collector territory. We doubt a front-engined V12 Ferrari will ever be such value and with such provenance and visual presence.
