We waited so long that we almost started to think about the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was just the crazy dream of a daily commute, half asleep in the morning traffic. We were looking for her appearances in automotive select shows in the past year, a corner of his silhouette in Brazil and the hunt for the video of his first duel with a F-40 near Las Vegas Supercar. Since November 2006, the 599 GTB is not just a dream, but a new thoroughbred horse is designed to represent the pitch height of what the Italians call it Gran Turismo. As the successor of the legendary 575M Maranello has not been easy, but the 599 GTB Fiorano cuts in the hunt and the cut is simply the most powerful ever built by Ferrari.
In the early 90's, the Italian carmaker clear its image and reliability of its machines beautiful improved with the arrival of Luca di Montezemolo, head of the company and the Frenchman Jean Todt and Rory Byrne and Ross Brawn in the English department runs. Since its inception in the late 40's fate Ferrari closely associated with motorsport. When his flagship Formula 1 team by the growth of the German ace Michael Schumacher has started again, and eventually won the world championship of Formula 1 within five years in a row, everyone knew it was time to Ferrari as a manufacturer of most exciting cars in the world back. A new generation of models followed, first with 456, then with the famous 360 Modena, the 550 and the 575M Maranello.
The great success of this recovery was not possible without the liberation from the Enzo Ferrari supercar in 2002 to complete a structure selective and exclusive, the founder of the renowned company called. We lived happily until the end of this great, but in 2004, Ferrari introduced the 612 Scaglietti as the successor to the 456 was elegant. A few months later, he announced the 430 to replace the popular 360 Modena. We have been hidden for years in love with the 575M Maranello, after returning to the silhouette simple but powerful and domineering of the V12 under the single air intake in the front. However, we must admit that it should not be too hard for the last coupe Ferrari: the 599 GTB is a remarkable achievement in the field of mechanics and aesthetics as well.
Although the shape of the 599 GTB seems inspired in part by free-flowing design of the 612 Scaglietti is impossible, the incredible machine comes directly from the Enzo supercar first V12 installed. This is where the legend began: to cut the wild and beautiful with a V12 engine led the first mass, a tradition that has been released since the famous Ferrari 250 GTO in the early 60s. The performances are breathtaking. Please enter at least 620 hp at 7,600 rpm, reaching the 599 GTB Fiorano rocket 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. The F1-Superfast six-speed sequential gearbox, you can gear in just 100 milliseconds, 50 milliseconds faster than the Enzo supercar impressive. At this level, is unlikely to resume the manufacture of the discordant music of the Italian engine. To be honest, nothing that compares to the sound of a V12 Ferrari.
