Exclusive: Ferrari 599 GTO revealed in Malaysia
Released in April 2010, Ferrari announced the details of the F599 GTO. Based on the product development of the 599XX, the 599 GTO is claimed to be the fastest Ferrari road car ever, lapping the Fiorano circuit a whole 1-sec faster than the Enzo. The GTO designation has only ever graced the names of two other Ferraris before this; the 250 GTO, and the 288 GTO, so the 599 certainly has a reputation to live up to!
Weight was pared off in many areas, (the GTO saving 100kg over the GTB) and the 'standard' aerodynamics from the GTB was also tweaked. Eagle eyed readers of ZTH will notice that the GTO in pictures below does not have the Alcantara dashboard trim which certainly helps this GTO stand out that little bit more.
Only 599 examples of this V12 monsters will ever be built, and none so far have been spotted in KL. Its less hardcore brothers (GTB Fiorano, and HGTE) are also a rare sight compared to the younger V8 brothers. The good news? Three are slated to arrive on our Malaysian roads...
