Ferrari is reportedly readying a high-output version of its already impressive 599 GTB Fiorano. The high-performance model is said to be based on the 599XX show car that debuted at last year’s Geneva Motor Show.
Whereas the 599XX was designed as a hardcore racer for the track, the new 599 model-believed to be named the “Ferrari 599 GTO Limited Edition” after the 250 GTO of the 1960s-will be a racecar for the streets. Although a bit softer than its show car-counterpart, the 599 GTO will sport plenty of added performance, following in the footsteps of the 430 Scuderia.
At the heart of the 599 GTO will be an up-rated version of the base car’s 6.0L V12. The 599 GTO will be closer to 700hp (522kW). In addition to the added power, the 599 GTO will also shed about 150lbs (67.5kg), making for an all-out performance machine.
No official word on when the 599 GTO will finally surface, but a unveiling at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show seems likely. The price is speculated in the $380K range with production being capped at 500 units.
