History
This low millage 599 GTO finished in the rare and desirable combination off Blu Scozia and Grigio Silverstone, makes this surely one of the most appealing examples from a limited production run of just 599 examples.
There is no denying that Ferrari is one of the most renowned and esteemed automakers, and has held that position for decades. However, when Ferrari made the decision to create the so-called GTO model, it was destined to be an ultimate engineering and aesthetic masterpiece.
The GTO stands for Gran Turismo Omologato in Italian, translated to English it means Grand Touring Homologated. The Grand Touring emphasize the fusion of comfort and speed. The result is the definitive automobile, elegant and more refined than traditional sports cars.
The term "homologated" refers to a vehicle that satisfies the minimum technical requirements to be a road legal vehicle while still being as near to a race vehicle as possible.
Ferrari originally introduced the term "GTO" with the legendary 250 GTO, which is currently valued at well over 50 million euros. It took 23 years for the term GTO to be reawakened in the beautiful 599 GTO, which Ferrari unveiled in 2010. In the 75 years, Ferrari has been active, the term has definitely not been used frequently; in total, it has only been used three times.
It features a naturally aspirated 6 Liter V12 engine producing 670 hp, the sound and performance of that is something out of this world, and something we will probably sadly not see ever again. When Ferrari built the 599 GTO, it was the company's fastest production vehicle to date.
The performance was nothing less than incredible, top speed of 335 km/ h, and 0-100 in under 3, 3 seconds, they reached this magnificent number by making the car just as light as the bigger brother the racetrack version, the 599XX.
Driving the 599 GTO is an extraordinary experience like nothing else, the hard gearchanges when it´s in race mode, gives you no doubt that you are in a true ¨Omologato¨ a race car built for the road. Likewise when the car is put into Sport, which is the lowest possible comfort mode on the 599 GTO, the car drives smoothly and pleasant which make it a real Grand Tourer as well as a Omologato.
This particular 599 GTO is thought to be one of only six examples to be painted in the gorgeous color combination of Blu Scozia / Grigio Silverstone Opaco, and with an odometer reading under 7000 km , it's also likely to be among one of the best examples.
It was delivered new to Italy and has had 1 other owner since then.
The car comes with a German registration.
