Bobbeh Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 £200,000 Where did that price come from? I always read it was aimed at the 100k area. I think they'll still make it, doesnt make sense but they are rich enough to suffer the short term loss for any long term advertising the car can give the brand.

Pot Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I love the 599, its amazing!! While this one is nice, I think I prefer the Hamann modified one. http://www.zcars.com.au/userimages/user1093_1166501958.jpg That's how I imagine my Sup each and every time I get into it, driving it too - Apart from the fact mine's Tri-Colour, and the door handles work differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I really like it's profile, but it has a very complicated back end. Looks like it's suffered from piles at some stage too. The front does nothing for me though. I like the in body spoiler flaps though. I wonder if if are speed adjustable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Pistonheads FERRARI 599XX POSTS 6MIN 58.16SEC 'RING TIME New 'production-derived' record claimed for the 599XX at the Nordschleife A new 'Ring record for Ferrari A new 'Ring record for Ferrari Ferrari has just released its official 'Ring laptime for the 599XX - and is claiming the first ever sub-seven minute time for a 'production-derived' sports car. We've been expecting an announcement of this kind since March last year when Ferrari announced it would be pitting the car against the classic circuit, and there have been various images of the car on the track over the last few days and weeks. It's an impressive time without a doubt, but is 'production derived' a suitable category for a record? Let the debate begin... Official release below: Maranello, 23 April 2010 - The Ferrari 599XX is the first ever production-derived sports car to break the 7-minute barrier on the classic 20.832 km Nordschleife circuit, lapping in 6 min 58.16 sec. The 599XX, which inspired the 599 GTO, is an extreme berlinetta designed for track but not official competition use, and is a veritable technological laboratory incorporating a number of innovative solutions. Some of these will remain the exclusive preserve of the 599XX while others have already filtered down to the 599 GTO, introduced today at the Beijing Motor Show. These include the wheel doughnuts of F1 derivation which serve two purposes - to reduce turbulence and thus drag, and improve brake cooling. Powered by a development of the V12 engine used by the 599 GTB Fiorano, the 599XX features Ferrari's High-Performance Dynamic Concept, a novel integrated design and chassis set-up that uses sophisticated electronics to govern the mechanical limits of the handling for maximum performance. On the aerodynamics front, the car sees the introduction for the first time of the Actiflow™ System that increases downforce and/or cuts drag depending on the car’s trim during cornering. This, together with other careful detailing, ensures that the 599XX boasts extraordinary levels of downforce - up to 630 kg at 300 km/h. Fundamental to the performance of the car was the development of specific components undertaken together with our technical partners: Brembo for the carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin for the tyres and Shell for the fuel and lubricants. That's quite fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Forza Ferrari' and all that!" 1.2m....WOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
