Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006, the 599 GTB Fiorano took its name from Ferrari's famous test track. In designing the 599, Ferrari abandoned the tubular steel chassis of the preceding 550/575, adopting a more advanced and lighter all-aluminium chassis of greatly increased stiffness. Styled by Pininfarina, the 599 with its long bonnet, small cabin, raised haunches and aggressive stance seemed the very definition of the term 'sports car'. Styling details such as the front brake ducts and hot air outlets behind the front wheelarches recalled the great competizione Ferraris of the past, while the tail incorporated Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.

The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 599's 48-valve, 6.0-litre V12 was a reworked version of the Enzo supercar's. As installed in the 599, this state-of-the-art unit produced a staggering 612bhp at 7,600rpm with maximum torque of 448lb/ft at 5,600 revs. Developed as part of Ferrari's Formula 1 programme, the paddle-shift gearbox had become a feature of its range-topping sports cars and was available in its latest form for the 599. A conventional six-speed gearbox was available also. Specification highlights of this rare right-hand drive example include the following:
