THE FERRARI 599 GTB
Introduced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the 599 GTB Fiorano took its name from Ferrari's famous test track and was the latest in a succession of models named after hallowed grounds associated with the marque such as Modena and Maranello. 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 611 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 the factory - adjacent to the namesake Fiorano test track - in July of 2010. Built to USA specifications, it was delivered new via Ron Tonkin Ferrari in Oregon, with an MSRP of $338,695. Finished in black over black leather, the accompanying window sticker lists optional equipment including red brake calipers, Scuderia Shields, Daytona-style seats, contrasting stitching, and 20-inch "monolithic" wheels. The accompanying CARFAX Report shows regular mileage updates, and consistent servicing at dealers in Oregon, Honolulu, Hawaii, California, and Arizona. Mileage entries are consistent with the car's exceptionally low mileage – approximately 6,750 recorded at the time of cataloguing.
Setting this car apart from the crowd is the six-speed manual conversion, performed by the noted experts in the field, European Auto Group (EAG) of Texas. Utilizing the existing gearbox EAG adapts factory parts, and their own components to remove the hydraulic shifting mechanisms, putting the job of gear selection back where it belongs – in the driver's right hand, via a classic gated shifter, topped with a polished alloy ball.
The car will be accompanied by a copy of the original window sticker and a clean Carfax report. With just 6,750 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.
