Having favored the mid-engined layout for its 12-cylinder road cars from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, Ferrari surprised everyone when it unveiled the 550 Maranello. The 550's arrival in 1997 saw the Italian manufacturer return to its tradition of building front-engine V-12 two-seater sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' in 1974. The 599 was the latest in this noble line that stretched all the way back to the 250GT of the early 1960s.
The 599 represented a huge leap forward as Ferrari abandoned the tubular steel chassis of the 550/575, adopting an advanced, lightweight all-aluminum chassis which increased stiffness significantly. Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari's Frank Stephenson, the 599 with its long bonnet, small cabin, raised haunches and aggressive stance seemed the very definition of the term 'sports car'.
The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 599's 48-valve, 6.0-litre V12 was a reworked version of that found in the mighty Enzo supercar. Developed as part of Ferrari's Formula 1 program, the paddle shift gearbox had become a feature of its range-topping sports cars and was available in its latest form for the 599, capable of changing gear in a mere 100 milliseconds. With 620 bhp at a screaming 7,200 rpm, face-melting performance is assured.
THE CAR OFFERED
The fabulous and exclusive Ferrari supercar offered here was completed at Ferrari - adjacent to the namesake Fiorano test track - in May of 2010. The 599 was sold new by The Auto Gallery in Los Angeles later that year. The original owner kept the car for just over one year before being acquired by its current owner in 2011. The CARFAX report attests that the car has split time between California and Nevada. Today this top-of-the-line 599 GTB Fiorano 'HGTE' appears in great condition, with its well-maintained Nero exterior paint and clean interior. The cockpit is trimmed in black leather and alcantara with yellow deviated stitching, carbon fiber adorned throughout, and practically every amenity and performance option imaginable is present.
Options on this fantastic, front-engine V12 grand tourer includes 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-inch 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.
Other options include the aforementioned yellow interior stitching, yellow tachometer, carbon fiber steering wheel with LED shift lights, yellow brake calipers and Scuderia fender shields to name a few. As with most Ferraris of this era, the interior on this example is beginning to show signs of the infamous sticky buttons, a common and curable niggle. The car will be accompanied by its factory books, tools, VIP birth certificate, both keys and a clean Carfax report. With just 9,127 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing, this exclusive Grand Touring Berlinetta Ferrari is ready to thrill its next custodian with the sort of raw performance and character that only a Ferrari with a big V12 up front can provide.
