FERRARI 599 GTB RELEASE! *NEW*
-
With the release of the 599 GTB Ferrari is presenting its most powerful V12-engined production car of all time.
Amedeo Felisa, FerrariÂ’s Vice General Manager, officially announced the new model in occasion of the opening of the Detroit Motor Show on the 9th of January.
The new car is a concentration of Ferrari’s most innovative and technologically advanced engineering solutions applied to a mid-front engined two-seater coupé. The result is a new benchmark for performance, driver involvement and design.
The Ferrari 599 GTB boasts class-leading power thanks to its 5,999cc V12 - derived directly from the Enzo Ferrari supercar – which produces no less than 620hp at 7,600 rpm for a weight/power ratio of just 2.6 kg per horsepower.
Ferrari has adopted the latest evolution in its tried and tested all-aluminium construction technology for the body and chassis.
The unmistakable Pininfarina design gives the Ferrari 599 GTB aggressive yet elegant lines which are perfectly integrated with the advanced aerodynamic solutions adopted to reach the performance figures attainable.
This new model is the symbol of Ferrari’s production – the V12 berlinetta – and represents the latest interpretation of a theme that has seen such classics as the 250 GT, the 275 GTB, and the 365 GTB4.
The Ferrari 599 GTB replaces the last in that great line of berlinettas, the 575M Maranello, of which – together with the 550 Maranello introduced in 1996 - no fewer than 5,700 have been produced, a record for this type of model for the Prancing Horse.
The new car will be officially unveiled on the 28th of February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show.

alright.. cool. v12.. 0,0
-
cool
-
wtf. the rear looks like a tuscani
-
the front is quite similar to Aston martin vanquish
-
at least this looks better than the 612. and how come its the most powerful production ferrari v12 of all time? enzon dun count meh? enzo has a V12 with 660bhp
anyways im curious as to how such a significant new car slipped beneath the "new car" radar of all the reputable car mags. so when it debuts at the detroit show, will it be a concept car or the finished product u can buy?
Finally i looked around for it, and i found out it should be called the 600 Imola instead of the 599 GTB. how come different name from different sources? -
2 words! Holy Sh*T!
-
Let me guess. Ken Okuyama designed this (he's one of Pininfarina's men)?
That rear window looks very fussy...and I don't like having 2 fewer rear lights. -
i didn't notice that!!! its not a very Ferrari rear is it?Originally posted by Kuali Baba:Let me guess. Ken Okuyama designed this (he's one of Pininfarina's men)?

550 is nice to drive, but honestly it didn't feel as good to drive as a Focus RS or WRX did. Seating position also not very comfortable. -
Look like alfa 8C..
-
The 8C Competizione is a beauty in the flesh!
-
8C.. slicker than an f1 wheel.. wats e specs like? for e 8C n 599?

1stly im not so sure the final car will look like that. Nevermind Detroit. This year's Geneva in March should be the more important show and the Ferrari shown there, the one closer to what the final product should be.
I have pictures which suggest it is NOT going to look like that. It should look more similiar to the 612 in fact. Also, the name ought to be the F600 Imola, not the 599 GTB. Finally, its V12 engine is coming from the 612, and will be expanded from the scalg's 5748cc to 6.0l, giving it 575 bhp, not the 620 mentioned by the thread starter. -

One thing i hate bout ferrari.. they are playing games.. but that is a prototype.. they are clever at certain things... play ard wit designs camoflauge the design to make peeps confuse... and.... haha.. well is a bet to play.. lol! its fun tho.. u bet the two lights... and.. i bet the one light... BUT i have this intresting pictures.. this is the prototype for the enzo... before the enzo is launch... take a look... And ur picture... THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE 612 SCAGLIETTI.. they actually cover up the sides of the bodywork... and they actually cover the underneath venturi to appear 'different'..... and they are using the 612 as a project to the 599... well F600 is 'mayb' their thoughts... but well.. WE ARE PROFESSIONAL aren't we?.. lol.. yes we are! ok lets see wat the outcome in geneva....Originally posted by HENG@:actual Ferrari 600 Imola caught testing. note 4 tail lights, not 2.
*i circled it there is where u've to concentrate their bodyworks....*
that prototype shows they put extra bodyworks design and 1 light (below)... and double lights is born when its launch.. hahah..
So, the bottomline is... prototypes cars cannot be use as an example of the outcome... ok... sitback relax... wait and see till 28th of feb in geneva motorshow...

I think the most impt thing u've missed out on is that, the pic u showed of the "599 GTB" is more likely a CG press pack pic.
here. let me post a pic of what i think the F600 Imola will really look like at Geneva. And we'll see who's right
