Ferrari 599 GTO

 
This limited edition special series of just 599 is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from technological transfers from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version.
Ferrari 599 GTO claimed as the fastest road car in the world today. 599 GTO even able to record a lap time Fiorano circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds.

These claims are commonplace because of the 599 GTO is based 599XX, referring to the race car technology. Even so, the 599 GTO-capacity 6.0-liter engine remains legal as a road car.

With a weight of just 1.495kg, 599 GTO is powered 670 hp, just save weight vs. power ratio 2.23 kg / hp. What do these figures mean? The answer, an acceleration from 0-100 km / h in just 3.35 seconds. While the speed can penetrate the 335 km / hour.

599 GTO would not only superior in performance. Dikebangkan chassis specifically-including electronic controls, has generated a great control. Ferrari even dare to claim the 599 GTO chassis technology as the first developed for a production car (outside of racing).

In the sector of the rate freeze, 599 GTO was equipped with a second-generation carbon-ceramic brakes are more powerful and lighter. In addition, the sophisticated braking is also easier cold and aerodynamic aspects of synergy with 599 GTO.
