That Murcielago SV makes me wet.

Those duo, the Carrera GT, an SLR, and I'm set for life.

Question is: a manual 599 GTB or a 599 GTO?

Gimme the GTO, the LFA, and CGT.........


..... and 991.2 GT3 RS.....





..... Singer 911 and I'll be a happy camper.



And, you know what? Let's throw in a DBS for good measure.

Beautiful spec!

Still love the 599 over the F12 and 812.

Still love the 599 over the F12 and 812.

I was never individually fussed about the F12, I'm sure it's an amazing Supercar. I just never "clicked" with it. The Ferrari 812 was exactly the opposite, although the Competizione took a little time to get used to!

But the 599 GTO I mean anything with GTO as a name is immediately special but in the above specifications is even more so, so I can't fault your views at all!

The truth never sizzle on me, front and back rather a bit uninspired.

In GTO guise, probably a top-2 if not #1 Ferrari in the last 25 years.

Ferrari 599 GTO (LHD), Factory XX Corse Clienti Aero Package (1 of 25 Cars). 280 km from new & £895,000.

Ordered new through Rosso Scuderia Ferrari of Tokyo in February 2011, suitably optioned in Rosso Scuderia, the chosen colour of Ferrari’s Formula 1 team for the Schumacher era and a hue that made its production debut on the F430 in 2004. The roof is finished in Grigio Silverstone Opaco as many GTOs were.

When the 599 XX was upgraded to Evo specification at the tail end of 2011, the remaining parts were offered to select clientele and members of Ferrari’s exclusive Corse Clienti program only as an upgrade for the 599 GTO through Ferrari Genuine, their post-build parts catalogue.

It’s first owner, a collector based in Tokyo, jumped at the opportunity to have the full package fitted to the car. Whilst this GTO is accompanied by its original panels, it was delivered to its first keeper in 2012 with the complete package already fitted prior to delivery. It is important to note that fewer than 25 examples of this package are understood to be fitted to 599 GTOs.

The car has been kept as part of a collection from new. It was imported to the UK in 2016 and has since been further kept as part of a collection. To date, this example has covered just 280 kilometres from new which has been corroborated by a gearbox control unit readout at DK Engineering.

One of the all time greats.

I am broken record, but probably one of the top two Ferraris this past 20 or so years. It seems to strike the best balance of raw and refined. Visceral yet approachable.

And which is the other one? (be careful with your answer, I've my whip ready at all times)


The only thing I don't like on the 599 series is the "heavy ass" look of the rear. Somehow, I feel there is too much mass, something they hide a bit better on the F12.
But I like these two better than the 812 or the 550/575 (although the 550 GTS/575 GTC racing cars were immensely hot)
