2011 Ferrari 599 Gto on 2040-cars
Corona del Mar, California, United States
The 599 GTO is Ferrari's fastest road car, ever. In fact the 599 GTO is
based on the 599XX, the advanced experimental track car, and can be
considered almost a road-going version. The Ferrari 599 is reserved for
just 599 clients whom seek the maximum expression of high-performance
driving. The 599 GTO benefits directly from Ferraris racing technology
and has set a record lap time at Fiorano of one minute and 24 seconds; a
full second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. The 599 GTO's engine is
directly derived from the 599XX unit implementing, however, the
necessary modifications for road-going usage. The 5999cc 65-degree V-12
engine offers a smooth, constant rush of power all the way to its
redline, with no loss of flexibility even at medium and low revs. This
result was obtained by working on the fluid-dynamics and components to
reduce internal friction. The 599 GTO uses the six-speed sequential
found in the 599XX with the same 60-millisecond shift times and the
possibility to make multiple downshifts. Apart from new springs and a
stiffer rear anti-roll bar, the car also features a second generation
magnetorheological suspension control system. The suspension works in
tandem with the Vehicle Dynamic Control and latest-generation F1-Trac
traction control. This makes the car extremely responsive to driver
inputsthanks in part to the adoption of a very direct steering ratiobut
also very stable under braking, sharper on turn-in, more precise in
cornering, and quicker out of corners. The 599 GTO inherits much of the
development workusing the same principles as employed in F1that went
into making the 599XX such an extreme performance car. Reducing weight
was a vital objective and the result was the widespread use of composite
materials. The areas involved include the bodywork with thinner gauge
aluminum and thinner glass, the brakes, transmission and exhaust system.
The result is a dry weight of 3,295 pounds and a weight-to-power ratio
of just 4.9 lbs. per horsepower, a v

Race Recap: Brazil ends the 2013 F1 season with whimpers, bangs [spoilers]
Mon, 25 Nov 2013When the grid lined up at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in Brazil there were just 71 laps, almost 306 kilometers, until the end of the 2013 season. Sometimes the circuit in Interlagos is deciding a Championship winner or showcasing new talent, and sometimes it's merely deciding a winner. This year was the latter.
2013 World Champion Sebastian Vettel in the first Infiniti Red Bull Racing lined up in front of Nico Rosberg in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Fernando Alonso in the first Ferrari, Mark Webber in the second Red Bull and his final Formula One race, Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes, Romain Grosjean in the Lotus, Daniel Ricciardo in the first Toro Rosso and his final race for the team before moving to Red Bull, his teammate Jean-Éric Vergne, Felipe Massa in the second Ferrari and Nico Hülkenberg in the Sauber.
There were numerous theories about what surprises might occur, with race day being the first dry running of the weekend and rain predicted to fall at some point during the running. The first surprise came when the lights went out and Vettel, the consummate starter, got beat to the first corner.
Ferrari 458 Speciale buyers told to spec options to secure orders
Tue, Nov 25 2014Want to get your hands on a Ferrari 458 Speciale? You're in good company, because demand for what could be the last naturally aspirated V8 supercar from Maranello is apparently soaring. As a result, some buyers who've already placed their orders are reportedly being "advised" to add on extra options or risk losing their place on the waiting list to someone who will. The news comes from UK-based Magnitude Finance, whose director Tim Marlow said, "One client ordered the car many months ago but he was subsequently advised to increase the options he selected to guarantee delivery simply because others are prepared to go pay over the odds to get one new." Another Magnitude client was asked by the dealer "on five occasions to say others wanted to buy it if he changed his mind." Reached for comment, Ferrari spokesperson Krista Florin told Autoblog: "As with any Ferrari, customization is offered as a service to make each car unique. However, there are no requirements in order to secure an order." The options list on the 458 Speciale can add up fast. Active headlights add over $2,500 to the price, fitted luggage nearly $11k, leather interior and front lift system a solid $6k each and those NART stripes another $11k. Ordering items like the engine cover ($7.8k), rear diffuser ($9.6k) and outer sill cover ($10k) in carbon fiber can add to the $288k base price as quick as the Speciale can gather pace. That's how our recent tester ended up topping $336k – and that's if we could actually get one. Part of the demand is surely coming from moneyed enthusiasts keen to take possession of one of the finest mid-engined supercars Ferrari has ever made, but the demand and values are surely being driven up as well by speculators. "Everyone we speak to sees this as the next appreciating model over the long-term like the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia 16M before it," added Marlow, "so demand is really high." We can only imagine that demand has been even higher for the convertible version, as Ferrari will only make 499 examples of the 458 Speciale A, putting the roadster in an even more rarified class. Ferrari 458 Speciale demand (Leeds: UK. November 2014). Customers are going to extraordinary lengths to buy the Ferrari 458 Speciale, luxury car finance specialist, Magnitude Finance, reveals. Earmarked as a potential collector's item, some prospective buyers have been told a GBP20,000 deposit would only put them on a list of 'possible clients' but not guarantee an order.
Ferrari 488 Spider turbocharges its topless way into Frankfurt
Wed, Sep 16 2015There's a droptop supercar for any wealthy buyer's style at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. If the sharply styled Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder doesn't get your heart racing, Ferrari is in attendance, as well, to give the turbocharged 488 Spider a public debut. With either of them, buyers are getting an exclusive, Italian name and plenty of performance to keep the wind gusting through their hair. The major upgrade for the 488 Spider and the reason for the new name is the addition of Ferrari's 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 to the droptop. Just like in the 488 GTB coupe, it makes 661 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. The Prancing Horse claims its latest Spider can hit 62 miles per hour in about 3 seconds and 124 mph in 8.7 seconds. The retractable hardtop is pretty quick, too, and can open in just 14 seconds. A redesigned aluminum spaceframe offers the benefit of 23 percent better torsional rigidity compared to the 458 convertible. While the styling at the front is the same, the 488 Spider wears some beautifully sculpted nacelles behind the seats. They create a streamlined look that flows right down the tail in profile. The glass pane between them can be retracted in three positions, too, to adjust the amount of wind and sound in the cabin. The droptop also has a new engine cover with louvers on each side. Check out all the little details of the blue example from the Frankfurt show yourself in our image gallery above.
