On 8 April 2010, Ferrari announced official details of the 599 GTO. The car is a road-going version of the 599XX and Ferrari says that the 599 GTO is their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Enzo Ferrari. Its engine produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 bhp) at 8250 rpm, with 620 N·m (460 lb·ft) of torque at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims the 599 GTO can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.35 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph). At 1,605 kilograms (3,540 lb), the 599 GTO weighs almost 100 kg (220 lb) less than the standard GTB. Production is limited to 599 cars. Of these, approximately 125 were produced for the United States market. Ferrari has given only two other models the GTO designation: the 1962 250 GTO and the 1984 288 GTO. Unlike the previous GTOs however, the 599 GTO was not designed for homologation in any racing series.

The 599 GTO is the company’s fastest ever road car. It’s an exclusive limited-edition special vehicle and represents a completely new concept. Although it is based on the 599 XX, the advanced experimental track car, it can actually be considered almost a road-going version. Limited to just 599 clients, the car benefits directly from the technological transfer from racing as well as from the innovative approach to the chassis development. It integrates a handling set-up tuned for a level of responsiveness that is close to the limit with highly sophisticated electronic controls.
