  • Hardcore Ferrari 599XX spied

    Jul 24, 2009 5:04 PM

    The hardcore track-focused version of Ferrari's 599 Fiorano, the 599XX, has been spied testing at the Fiorano test track.

    The 599XX gets a retuned version of the 599's V12 engine, with its rev limit boosted to 9000rpm and its weight reduced by the adoption of a new crankshaft and more extensive use of carbonfibre in ancillary parts.

    Why don't they try and make a Ferrari that looks good for a change?

     Lambo has the looks spot on! These Ferrari's look too... erm... crap!

    Well roll them along! Can't wait for the 450. 430 was a very complete car. Just needed to look a little bit better! Have they done that? Eye of the beholder I suppose.

    And that's that!

    The 599XX was shown at the 2009 Geneva auto show. Including the technical data - 700 hp, 9,000 rpm and 60 ms gearbox. What's the news? that it's going round Fiorano?

    The Ferrari, Any Ferrari, is much better designed than the Lambo. The last decent looking Lambo ended when they made the original Muira SV.  The 400 GT was a better looking car than the latest models, since then they've gone backwards.

    The only crap looking cars are the ones that dont get beyond the design stage
