Welcome back to another super car review. We have an amazing car to review today. It is the 60th anniversary Edition Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. This car is one of a kind and is local to the Buffalo area. Let's start by stating some of the incredible facts about this car. The engine is a 6.0 litre V12 with 48 valves (12 cylinder) stuffed under the hood, producing about 612 horsepower. The curb weight is only 3,750 lbs which isn't bad for a car with a heavy V12. With 448 lb-ft of torque, this car is truly controlled by the driver. You could buy the 599 for a total of 310,475 US dollars. The transmission is a choice between a 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic. The V12 engine propels this car to a 0-60 time of only 3.3 seconds, and a 0-100 time of just 3.7 seconds. The top speed of the 599 is a crazy 208 miles per hour. The 599 is 4,666 mm long and 1,961, wide and 1,336 mm tall. Ferrari manufactured 599 of these models and 125 were for the US market. On July 14th, 2011, Ferrari celebrated their first Formula-1 win, where Froilan Gonzalez was the first to pass the checkered flag at the British Silverstone Grand Prix in 1951. The 60th anniversary edition is practically the same as the 599 except its Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione package which includes modified suspension with stiffer springs, a thicker rear anti-roll bar, and a calibration setting for its shock absorbers. The ride height is also lowered, which in turns, lowers the car's center of gravity. The package also includes different tires with more grip. The mod's that the owner had done to this marvelous Ferrari isn't much. The only mods he has made to it are cosmetic, and when he bought it, it came with a valved exhaust. Since his ownership, he had the valves permanently removed for better sound in the lower RPM's. I think that owning a car like this and keeping it mostly stock it better for the car, and the resale value. A stunning feature of this car is that it is wrapped satin yellow with black racing stripes. The original black paint is perfectly preserved under the wrap. Also, as you might see in the pictures below, the logo, of the prancing horse are wrapped in matte black. This car was important for Ferrari and they nailed it. I hope that this review gives you a look at the gorgeous Ferrari 599, and if you haven't seen this car yet, check out my pictures and video down below. This is a very special and rare car to have in the Buffalo area and i'm glad I got to see it in person.
