Ferrari GTO 599: specifications and description of the exclusive Italian sports coupe

The 2-seat sports coupe Ferrari GTO 599 is an exclusive car. First, he has incredible technical characteristics, which in 2010 amazed everyone. Secondly, there are only 600 such machines all over the world. Thirdly, it costs about 23 million rubles (320,000 euros). And this is only a small list of the features that this machine can boast of.

Appearance

The body of the Ferrari GTO 599 was developed in the tuning studio Pininfarina. The project was led by designer Frank Stephenson - a true master of his craft. He, by the way, developed the appearance of such cars as "Ferrari 430", "Maserati MS-12" and "McLaren MP4-12S". So car enthusiasts in 2010, having learned who exactly heads the project, immediately realized: the appearance will be unique. And there is. The main highlight of this car is a new front spoiler, lateral channels and a 3-part diffuser.

Still the car has received absolutely unique wheel disks made in Germany. By the way, also this vehicle is decorated with an additional spoiler on the roof, which is almost not noticeable. It is worth noting that the developers of the Ferrari GTO 599 put above all the task to reduce the weight of the car. Therefore, in the process of bodywork, composite materials were used. Thanks to this decision, it was possible to make the weight of the car 83 kilograms less than that of its predecessor. The total weight was 1495 kg.

Salon

It is worth noting the attention and the interior of the car Ferrari 599 GTO Gran Turismo. Its main feature is a completely new central console. The machine is equipped with various special programs, which greatly facilitate the management. The main distinguishing feature of the car is a program that reacts to any, even minor changes in the road surface. It is known as the Virtual Race Engineer.

In the interior there are similarities with the interior of the Ferrari California. The salon is not designed in the style of Spartan minimalism. However, there are no excesses either. Everything is very harmonious. Particularly pleased with the driver interface. It is designed so that the person sitting behind the wheel, nothing was distracted, but interacted with the machine as much as possible. And, of course, the main advantage of the Ferrari GTO 599 is a review of all the indicators of electronic control. Still can not help but pleasing the comfortable sports steering wheel and comfortable chairs with a lot of adjustments, lateral support and heating.

Characteristics

This Gran Turismo is powered by a powerful V-shaped 12-cylinder engine, thanks to which it passes the test circuit in Fiorano in just 84 seconds. And up to "hundred" accelerates in 3.3 seconds. The power of this car is 680 horsepower at a volume of 6 liters. The main feature of this motor is a new crankshaft and an intake manifold with a short path. It is interesting that the engine meets all Euro 5 standards. Another highlight is the revised suspension of the Ferrari 599 GTO. The technical characteristics of this sports car are good. And in many ways they were achieved precisely because of the installation of magnetically controlled shock absorbers and rigid springs. By the way, it is worth noting that the model puts 20-inch wheels in tandem with high-speed tires from Michelin.

And, of course, it is necessary to mention the brake system with special attention. She's also impressive. "Ferrari 599 GTO" is equipped with brakes with carbon carbide disks. They also have fairings, in which special slots are made, designed to dissipate hot air. Due to this, the braking dynamics improve, and the aerodynamic resistance decreases. If the car will go at a speed of 100 km / h, then a full stop it will produce in 32.5 meters.

Dynamics and consumption

Interestingly, the "Ferrari 599 GTO" is one of the fastest cars among all cars produced by this Italian concern. The maximum speed that this model can reach is 335 kilometers per hour. Naturally, in order to achieve such indicators, a gasoline tank of the appropriate volume is needed. But in this respect, the producers also succeeded. The volume of the gas tank is 105 liters. Considering that the fuel consumption in the combined mode reaches 17.5 liters per 100 kilometers, this is not bad. By the way, this model has also a trunk, as well as at any other car. Despite the fact that this sports car, the volume of this department is 320 liters. Several bags and suitcases can fit. In general, for a car of this class, the trunk is very good.

Equipment

What else can please the Ferrari 599 GTO? The price of this car is 320 000 euros. It is logical to assume: it has everything that it can only need. These are airbags for the passenger and driver, tire pressure monitoring system, rain and light sensors, 2-zone "climate", instrument panel with TFT-screen, electric seat, automatic parking brake, key card, CZ, mirror heating, full Electric package, remote control and much more. In general, everything for the comfort of the driver and his passenger.

Other Features

It should also be noted that manufacturers have been able to increase the clamping force of the car, without reducing the coefficient of aerodynamic drag. This was successful due to the fact that the novelty was completely flat bottom. And in the process of creating its body, the specialists used a considerable amount of aerodynamic elements. This car has received not only additional spoilers, but also overlays on thresholds. Also, the exhaust system was improved, which is very important. The novelty was equipped with sport catalysts and collectors. Thanks to this, it was possible to improve engine power.

As you can see, this is really a powerful, fast and dynamic car. And each copy is unique in its own way. The cost of the car is 320 000 euros, but there are also more expensive models. Some were sold even for a price that exceeded 100,000 €. It all depends on whether they have special additional elements.
