The name, “GTO” (Gran Turismo Omologata) instantly calls to mind two Ferraris that have entered the collective imagination as symbols of performance. After the 1962 250 GTO, which swept the boards in GT racing categories in the 1960s and is now a highly prized collector's car, came the iconic 1984 288 GTO, which pretty much invented the entire modern supercar genre. The 599 GTO is the most recent GTO. Ferrari has only given this name to 3 cars and each GTO was based on a circuit car - the 599 GTO was based on the 599 GTB Fiorano chassis but is essentially the road-going version of the 599XX track car.

The 599 GTO weighs 100 kg less than the standard GTB by a severe diet in a similar manner to other recent Ferrari lightweight models such as the 430 Scuderia. The 599 GTO is visually aggressive thanks to styling elements derived from the 599XX - but it's not all for show. Thanks to concepts transferred from the track car to the road-going version, the GTO generates downforce of 144 kg at 200 km/h. The entire car has received design revisions over the standard GTB including the front, the sides, the flat underbody and the cooling flows. In the latter instance, the GTO can count on improved ducting to the brake discs and pads, and the adoption of wheel doughnuts – a disc positioned outside the brake disc that ensures that hot air exiting the wheel arch stays as close to the body of the car as possible to reduce drag; again a feature borrowed straight from the FXX.

When produced in 2011 Ferrari announced that the 599 GTO was their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Its engine produces a staggering 661 bhp at 8250 rpm, with 460 lb-ft of torque at 6500 rpm. The 599 GTO can sprint to 62 mph in under 3.35 seconds whilst easily reaching a top speed of over 208 mph.

This example was first registered in the UK in March 2016. Subsequently sold to its first and only UK keeper via DK Engineering, the car today presents with just under 2,500 miles from new. It has resided in our secure storage facility throughout the duration of ownership. 

This 599 GTO was optioned new in Bianco Avus with a livery in Blu Tour de France. The car sees Giallo callipers, Giallo rev counter and Giallo contrasting stitch ties in the Charcoal Alcantara with Nero Tessuto inserts. This example features the lesser-optioned rear roll bar in the car, wrapped in matching Charcoal Alcantara with Giallo stitching. The interior also sees the Ferrari Cavallinos stitched into the headrests in the Giallo. 

Further options include Driver Seat Adjustment, rear parking sensors and the navigation system with iPhone connectivity. Currently showing just less than 2,500 miles from new, this fantastic RHD 599 GTO is available to view at our showrooms outside London immediately.
