2010 Ferrari 599 GTO Car Pictures

The 599 GTO, that's built based on the 599XX, is said being the advanced experimental track car, and can be regarded as almost a road-going version. The name of the automobile is based on the number of customers planned to be set aside that is 599.

One of the important innovations on the 599 GTO is the actual close relationship between the chassis set-up, that is close to the handling limit, and the input from the electric controls that are produced to improve overall ranges of performance.

Equally significant are the techie specs – 670 hp in the 1495kg automobile presents a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp. That means acceleration from -100 km/h in 3.35 secs, providing a top speed well over 335 km/h. Benefiting from the technical transfer from racing, the 599 GTO set a record lap time at Fiorano in 1’24”.

The 5999 cc 65-degree V12 motor, which complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 requirements, punches out 670 CV at 8250 rpm with max torque of 620 Nm at 6500 rpm. This outcome was attained by working on the fluid-dynamics and components to lessen internal friction and by adopting, amongst other things, the 599XX’s redesigned crankshaft. The motor sound within the car is cautiously controlled to stability the intake sound with the exhaust, which includes a 599XX-derived 6-into-1 manifold.

The 599 dry weight is 1495 kg having a weight-to-power ratio of just 2.23 kg/hp. Benefiting aerodynamics considerably from Ferrari engineers’ experience in F1 along with the 599XX, the 599 GTO generates downforce of 144 kg at 200 km/h.

The GTO’s front tyres are actually 285/30 on a 9.5’’ channel with 315/35 on an 11.5’’ channel in the rear. The 599 GTO has 20’’ rims. The 599 GTO boasts an outstanding 100 to km/h braking distance of just 32.5 meters. In addition to their role in improving aerodynamics, the Formula 1-derived wheel doughnuts also enhance braking efficiency by optimizing brake cooling.

The public debut on the 599 GTO is going to be at the Beijing International Motor Show at the end of April.
