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

Twin LaFerraris roar around Fiorano

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

What could possibly be better than a Ferrari LaFerrari running at full clip on the Italian brand's Fiorano test track? The answer is obviously two LaFerraris, both doing hot laps. So far as we know, this is the first time we've had an unadulterated listen - outside of the car, that is - to the latest Ferrari hypercar when it's being ran hard. There's no voiceover or music, just that righteous, hybridized V12.
We're told that the first LaFerrari, without camo, is a production model, while the other car is said to be testing a different exhaust setup. It sounds slightly different, and according to the videographer, it was noticeably louder than the production car. Take a look below for the full 2:48 of Italian V12 noise.

Thu, Apr 30 2015

Jean Todt, the 69-year-old former Scuderia Ferrari boss, Ferrari CEO and current FIA president has been named the United Nation's special envoy for road safety. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced the appointment Wednesday in Paris. Citing the 1.3 million people killed and the 50 million people injured each year on the world's roads, the UN is appointing Todt to mobilize "sustained political commitment towards road safety." Beyond that, the Frenchman will work towards raising awareness of the UN's "road safety legal instruments." "The road safety challenge is too often ignored, but road injuries are the number one killer of young people aged 15 to 29. That being the case, it deserves much more attention on the global political agenda," Todt said in the attached statement. "This appointment will bring greater visibility to efforts to tackle this health and development crisis, as well as new leadership and renewed momentum." Meanwhile, the FIA also confirmed Todt and 44 other delegates in Nepal to attend the organization's Asia-Pacific Sport Regional Congress in Kathmandu were safe after the country was struck by a devastating earthquake last week.

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 brings joy to both father and son

Thu, Apr 2 2015

In addition to wonderful cinematography and a keen eye for style, Petrolicious has a knack for showing that cars can bring families together. Whether Nissan fans, classic rally racers or a trio of BMW 5 Series drivers, the series often proves that automobiles can have meaning beyond just as a heap of mechanical parts. The latest video keeps that theme going with a 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona that connects a father and son. Matthew Lange's dad bought his Daytona in 1974 as a company car and certainly didn't let it waste away in the garage. His father put over 30,000 miles on the Pininfarina-designed coupe in just the first few years. Then, when Matthew turned 30, his dad gave him the Ferrari to enjoy. Today, it still gets used regularly and is likely going to the next generation of the family eventually. Even if the father/son story doesn't grab you, there are few things in the automotive pantheon that sound better than a V12 Ferrari. Lange even takes a run through the gears to let Petrolicoius record the wonderful engine sing.
