The Ferrari 599 is one of the finest grand touring cars Ferrari has
ever produced. With the swagger of a touring car and the soul of a true
super sports car, the 599 was immediately recognized as a modern
classic. But of course, there are people that are seeking more for this
car, including Ferrari itself.
In response to this, Ferrari has released, albeit in limited numbers, arguably the ultimate 599: the 2012 Ferrari 599 XX Evoluzione.
Developed as a track day weapon a la the Porsche 911 GT2 and other
similar cars, this car is packed with the latest and greatest technology
that Ferrari has to offer.
Racing in Mind
This car, while it still looks like the 599 and still keeps the same
engine and transaxle, is a completely different beast. True to Ferrari’s
High Performance Dynamic Concept, the 599XX is an eclectic mix of
mechanical and electronic excellence that pushed the boundaries of
speed.
The recipient of some of Ferrari’s gizmos developed from years of
experience in Formula 1, everything from aerodynamics to electronics are
modified into this car, producing perhaps the most electrifying
production car out there.
Performance
As for the mechanicals, an enhanced aerodynamic kit allows the
production of 280kg of down force at 200km/h and 630kg at 300km/h, a SCM
suspension that improves the 599’s already awesome handling
capabilities, a lightweight body consisting of composite and carbon
fiber parts, carbon ceramic brakes that promise optimal stopping power
while reducing weight, and a modified engine that boasts outputs of
700hp at 9000rpm join forces to turn the 2012 Ferrari 599 XX Evoluzione
the ultimate track weapon.
