Official: Ferrari confirms the 599 GTO

After intense speculation, Ferrari has finally given confirmation that the 599 GTO will be released. Basically, the 599 GTO is a road variant of the racecar Ferrari 599 XX.

Interestingly, this is the first time that Ferrari has used the GTO nameplate since the 288 GTO, which was built from 1984-1986. Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa, who confirmed this news through Evo Magazine, said that the classification of the 599 GTB Fiorano has been changed from “GT” to its “Sports Car” designation, allowing for the development of this extreme GTO version.

This will be the perfect car to hold the GTO nameplate. I think personally this is the hottest ferrari on the road today. dont get me wrong I like the F430 but I think the 599 has way more simplicity and sex appeal. I cant wait to see the NEXT GEN 599.

Only thing I dont like about those Ferraris is that truck like V8 sound they produce...even the new 458 Italia has that truck gargle kinda sound. Other than that, Ferrari is Ferrari, what can I say?

700+ bhp enzo based engine 9000rpm, ard 220mph, lower weight...0-60 time of 3.2sec, I won't be surprised if it dips below 3.0sec as the 599gtb's given 0-60 time is 3.7sec but it always clocks 3.2-3.4 seconds....
