2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Coupe

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 599 GTB Fiorano gets its name from the track where Ferrari tests its road and Formula 1 cars. Ferrari describes the 599 GTB Fiorano as a front-mid-engine design, which means the engine is mounted farther back in the chassis than a regular front-engine car. The Ferrari GTB Fiorano has a 5.99L V12 engine with 448 lb-ft of torque at 5,600 rpm and a 6-speed gearbox. Ferrari claims that the F1-Trac system -- which monitors the speed of front and rear wheels, predicts the maximum amount of grip, and responds accordingly -- increases acceleration by 20 percent over traditional traction and stability control systems. For those who wish to live out their dream of being an F1 driver, the steering wheel is loaded with controls, similar to an F1 race car's wheel, and a racing and track package is available as an option, which includes upgraded carbon-ceramic brakes, a four-point racing harness, and a cockpit roll bar.

The 599 GTB is one of the best performance cars available and it may be one of the most comfortable as well.

What's new for 2008?

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, new a year ago, continues into the 2008 model year largely unchanged. The same V12 engine (borrowed from the Enzo) and clever Magna-ride suspension technology persists, making the 599 is the ultimate driver's car from the most famous sports car manufacturer. A garage door opener, colored seat belts, and Challenge Stradale ball polished wheels are new options, while the carbon ceramic brake system and the battery charging pre-wire kit are no longer available.

Model Review

Ferrari's 2008 599 GTB Fiorano uses the same 6.0L V12 screaming beast that is found in the Enzo. Putting out 620 horsepower and redlining at 8,400 rpm, it also does 448 pound-feet of torque, almost all of which is available at only 3,500 rpm. Mash it, and all 12 cylinders let out a roaring melody, pushing you toward 60 mph in three and a half seconds. Take your foot off the pedal, and the motor unwinds in a series of sweet backfire pops, reminding you just how closely related this engine is to its racing parentage.

Original Warranty  Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
