The Ferrari 599 GTO is an extreme V12 sedan, developed with a specific, performance-oriented goal. In fact, the Ferrari 599 GTO is the fastest road car the company has ever produced. It is an exclusive, limited edition that, entirely in Ferrari tradition, is a completely new concept, albeit inspired by a production model. The Ferrari 599 GTO is based on the 599XX, the advanced experimental track car, and can almost be considered a street-legal version.
The Ferrari 599 GTO is intended exclusively for 599 customers seeking the ultimate sporty driving experience. The Ferrari 599 GTO benefits directly from technological transfer from racing and set a lap record at Fiorano with a time of 1 minute and 24 seconds.
The lap time at Fiorano is just one indication of this car's potential. Just as important are the technical specifications: 670 hp in a 1,495 kg car means a power-to-weight ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp, resulting in acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 3.35 seconds and a top speed of over 335 km/h.
