Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

A supercar noted for toting the same engine as the Ferrari Enzo, the 2011 599 GTB Fiorano is a coupe that produces 620 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque, thanks to a 6.0-liter V12 engine. Mated with a 6-speed automated manual and RWD the 599 achieves an EPA estimated 11 mpg city and 15 mpg highway. Standard features include bi-xenon headlamps, LED taillights, rain sensors, dual-zone climate control, and an electrically adjustable steering wheel column. Options include carbon fiber trim, recaro sport seats, premium sound system, parking sensors, and navigation. Upgrading to the HGTE package grants the driver 20-inch alloy wheels, performance tires, two-tone leather seats with alcantara inserts, re-tuned springs, fluid-filled shock absorbers, race-oriented electronic suspension, re-tuned transmission, and a modified exhaust. The 599 is backed by a 2-year/unlimited-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO Coupe

Ferrari has the laws of supply and demand mastered; it always builds far fewer cars than it can sell, leaving those without the means to buy a new one relegated to the late-model used lot while they get in line for one of the new ones. Ferrari owners are more interested in the status that Ferrari ownership gives them and in the sensory experience they get from driving one-- preferably on the track. The 599 GTB is one of the fastest cars available at any price, yet it's surprisingly comfortable. The 599 sports a 0-62 mph time of 3.35 seconds and a top speed of more than 208 mph, yet provides an unparalleled level of style and performance at any price.

What's new for 2011?

The 599 GTB Fiorano replaced the 575M Maranello in Ferrari's lineup in 2006, and it hasn't changed significantly since then, although in typical Ferrari fashion a number of special-edition models have been introduced, the most significant of which was last year's very pricey 599 GTO, a special-built race-homologated 599 with more power, more speed and more handling precision.

Model Review

The 599 GTB Fiorano is powered by a huge 6.0L V12 making 611 horsepower and 448 pound-feet of torque. Redline is a screaming 8,400 rpm and Ferrari has, of course, worked to optimize the engine sound at the top of the rev range.
