The Ferrari 599 GTO, the company’s fastest ever road-going car and is reported to have already sold out.
The 12-cylinder Berlinetta, made its first public outing last night at the Ducal Palace military academy in nearby Modena.
There it was unveiled to a crowd of 500 customers by the company’s top brass, including chairman Luca di Montezemolo and CEO Amedeo Felisa.
But according to a press release that accompanied the exclusive event for the existing Ferrari customers, the full run is already sold out !
The GTO is powered by a 661bhp six-litre V12 with 457lb ft of torque, propelling it to 60mph from standing in just 3.4secs and on to a top speed of 208mph. It is linked to a six-speed gearbox which can shift in 60 milliseconds.
The 599 GTO’s next official appearance will be in Beijing, at the International Automotive Exhibition. A decision taken, considering the growing market for Ferrari in the Asia Pacific region and in China
