I've been mixed on this car's looks since I saw the first press pics. They honestly don't do it a bit of justice. The car in this video is just sickeningly good looking, and it has about the best sounding V12 I've ever heard. I can't wait till these start shipping and we see a few on the road.

The driver in this video has got some biblical-sized stones to be driving on those roads with CST OFF! I can't imagine fighting to keep 620hp under control in the rain. Either way, it's going to be one of the most incredible GT cars to hit the road in a loooong time. Feel free to discuss!

599 GTB test drive

 

don't really like the rear end at all, the only bad part of the car, side profile and front look sexy!

man those europeans can drive!

 

Great vid! Thanks for the link!

I'd definitely roll the car as a daily driver.

 

any idea what the weight is?

 

Will definitely be a monumental increase in performance to the 575 M (much more hp & less weight), but don't like the new looks at all. They are going the direction of the 612, which is too plain. A big step back from the 575M appearance wise.

 

Not that it matters....but Tiff Nedell from Fifth Gear didn't think too much of the 599. In fact, he even said that its handling was inferior to the Z06, and he test drove it at the Ferrari test track (in between Michael Schumacher's bathroom breaks ).

 

Ya know, it's getting better looking, the more I stare at it. According to C&D, a lot of design inspiration came from the old Daytona, and it shows in the rear. The other cues up front seem to be more modern touches.

C&D says this car weighs in at 3700 and change, so it's several hundred lighter than the 575M. It does sound great, and it's surely a steal of a car, especially since you're getting the Enzo V12 for almost 1/3 the price.

Hot stuff if you have money to play in that arena.

 

I think the 575M was like 4000-4100 lbs or something like that. This is going to be one fast, sexy car. I haven't yet seen one in person, but I can surely imagine it will look a ton better than the pictures. There are always so many styling details/cues on a Ferrari that need to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

I'll take mine in Tour de France Blue with tan hides and red calipers!

 

Its definetly better than the 575 on paper. Can't argue with the Enzo engine. However, it looks plain boring compared to a daytona or a 575.

Besides that - how much will it cost. $260k? - Do you really think you would pay $100k more for a car that looks like that when you can get a F430 instead.
