Ferrari 599 GTO price sheet – Click above for high-res image
You know that when comes out with a new flagship supercar, it’s going to cost a pretty penny… or eight. The upcoming exotic from the gates of Maranello is the 599 GTO, reviving the stoic nameplate that adorned the 250 GTO of the 1960s and the 288 GTO of the 1980s on what stands to be the ultimate iteration of the 599 GTB Fiorano.
A pricing sheet has apparently leaked onto the interwebs, revealing the “base” price of the 599 GTO and itemizing the various costly options available on top. The cost of entry, according to the sheet, comes in at a whopping 319,495 euros (nearly $430k). But that’s just the tip of this high-performance iceberg.
Want the entire engine bay done up in carbon fiber? That’ll be another 7,774 euros (over ten grand). Four point harness? That’s a must-have at 2,990 euros (four grand). Want a full leather or Alcantara interior? Tempting choices at 4,425 and 3,708 euros, respectively (nearly six grand/five grand). There’s plenty more, so click the scanned image above for the full specs.
With a few thoughtful tweaks and a Spec C suspension, the STI Special Edition is easily the best iteration of the WRX yet. And not only that, you pay less for the privilege.
Mercedes is homologating the SLS AMG for racing duty in the 2011 season, and today it unveiled the first shots and specs of its GT3-spec gullwing for privateer race teams.
We’re several days away from publishing our review of the rebooted Mustang, but before the virtual ink hits your screen, we’ve got a few shots of Ford’s new V6 pony car laying a smoky set of elevens in So. Cal.
The crew at Fast Lane Daily have apparently scored the first official shot of the Ferrari 599 GTO ahead of its launch later this year, and while we’re still suitably skeptical about the pic, we’ve been assured by the show’s producers that this is the real deal.
So what’s have in store? If are to be believed, the GTO will be a road-focused version of the 599XX, packing a 700+ horsepower Enzo-derived 6.0-liter V12 capable of revving to 9,000 rpm. Shifts will be delivered in a mind-boggling 60 milliseconds, resulting in a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds as it climbs to a claimed 217 mph top speed. Only 500 units will be produced – and likely made available to select Ferrari owners – each carrying a price tag somewhere north of $400,000. for Derek D’s insufferable commentary and photoshopped shenanigans, and expect the 599 GTO to be revealed in full in the coming months.
The – or something that everyone has given that moniker to – has been snapped in varicolored glory outside the factory in Maranello. Taking turns in red-and-black, blue and black the car is disguised in the same way as the previous surreptitiously-caught 599 that everyone wants to be a GTO.
A keen spotter on Teamspeed even pointed out the fact that the tape over the rear bumper appears to be hiding vents as on the original GTO. Otherwise, save for the black roof and diffuser, things don’t look like they’ll change much if this is anything close to the final version. Of course, a 700-horsepower engine could be all the change anyone needs…
