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

2015 Ferrari LaFerrari [w/video]
Thu, 12 Jun 2014What a year it's been for enthusiasts who love high-performance, higher-dollar automobiles. The past twelve months or so have been consumed with the three horsemonsters of today's hybrid hypercar enlightenment: the Porsche 918 Spyder, the McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari. Getting into just two of the three would be better than a lump of coal in one's stocking come holiday time, but for me, it'd still leave things feeling sadly incomplete, gnawing from within 'til the end of days.
Getting the call from Maranello, therefore, was even more fortunate and satisfying. The 918 Spyder - the only seriously green hybrid of the trio - shook me up with its sophisticated menu of technologies. The McLaren P1 remains more of a true hypercar than the Porsche, what with its e-motor designed to boost the lightweight beast to supernatural speeds above any terrestrial concerns like fuel efficiency. And now it's time for the Italian with the funny name, LaFerrari. No mistake about it: I've been waiting all year for this car a little more than I've been waiting for the other two.
This run of hypercars built up over the year like a famous three-part opera: The enthralling start of the drama sitting in the Porsche 918, tear-assing the heavier green dart around a track in Spain; then on to the UK with the lightness and quick heart of the biturbo V8 in McLaren's track-inspired P1, and it was all to be topped-off at Fiorano with the LaFerrari, fit for a Wagnerian finish.

Stellantis wants to outfit cars with AI software to drive revenue
Tue, Dec 7 2021MILAN — Carmaker Stellantis announced a strategy Tuesday to embed AI-enabled software in 34 million vehicles across its 14 brands, hoping the tech upgrade will help it bring in 20 billion euros ($22.6 billion) in annual revenue by 2030. CEO Carlos Tavares heralded the move as part of a strategy that would transform the car company into a “sustainable mobility tech company,” with business growth coming from features and services tied to the internet. That includes using voice commands to activate navigation, make payments and order products online. The company is expanding existing partnerships with BMW on partially automated driving, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn on customized cockpits and Waymo to push their autonomous driving work into light commercial vehicle delivery fleets. StellantisÂ’ embrace of artificial intelligence and expansion of software-enabled vehicles is part of a broad transformation in the auto industry, with a race toward more fully electric and hybrid propulsion systems, more autonomous driving features and increased connectivity in automobiles. Ford and General Motors also are banking on dramatically increased revenue from similar online subscription services. But the automakers face immense competition for monthly consumer spending from movie and music streaming services, news outlets, Amazon Prime and others. Stellantis, which was formed from the combination of PSA Peugeot and FCA Fiat Chrysler, said the software would seamlessly integrate into customers' lives, with the capability of live updates providing upgraded services over time. New products will include the possibility to subscribe to automated driving features, purchase usage-based car insurance or even increase the power of the vehicle with a tune-up to add horsepower. As a baseline, Stellantis generates 400 million euros in revenue on software-generated services installed in 12 million vehicles. To meet the targets, Stellantis will expand its software engineering team of 1,000 to 4,500 in North America, Asia and Europe. More than 1,000 of the expanded team will be retrained in house. Stellantis also announced a new partnership with Foxconn to develop semiconductors to cover 80% of the companyÂ’s needs and simplify the supply chain. The first microchips from the partnership are targeted to be installed in vehicles in 2024.
