Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is Ferrari's latest front-engine, rear-wheel-drive 12-cylinder exotic sports car. It gets its name from a combination of its engine displacement of 5,999cc, "Gran Turismo Berlinetta," which is Italian for "grand touring hardtop" and Fiorano, Ferrari's test track in Fiorano Modenese, Italy.

The 599 GTB Fiorano debuted for the 2007 model year. Powered by a retuned version of the V12 engine found in the F1-inspired Ferrari Enzo road car, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano produces a dizzying 612 horsepower and 448 pound-feet of torque. With a curb weight of 3,722 pounds, that gives the 599 GTB a stunning weight-to-power ratio of 6.1 pounds per hp. Ferrari claims the car can go from zero to 60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of around 205 mph.

Much of the 599's chassis is shared with the four-seat 612 Scaglietti, which uses a light yet strong all-aluminum space frame construction. Extra effort went into the 599's weight optimization, with the car's mass being centralized for better handling responsiveness. Some design elements are also similar to the 612, but cues specific to the 599, such as rising haunches, flying-buttress roof pillars and an assortment of air intakes and extractors give the 599 its own unique look.
