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

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
Drive goes sideways, shreds tires in a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ferrari has built a monster with its F12 Berlinetta, a V12-powered grand tourer that has the looks of a supermodel and the firepower of a small country. And while it's been on the scene for a minute, Drive's Chris Harris wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to hoon a 740-horsepower prancing horse around the scenic Anglesey Circuit in Wales.
In fact, not only was Ferrari nice enough to loan Harris the F12, but it threw in an extra four sets of tires, just for him to destroy while taking moving pictures. The resulting video is indeed one to watch, not just because of the ample amounts of slow-motion drifting, but because Harris, as always, does a great job of making the viewer feel like they're actually along for the ride. Take a look below for the latest video from Drive.
Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale
Mon, Jan 19 2015Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.
