If you want to own a Ferrari, stop taking advice from those who drive Toyotas.
The 599, designed by Pininfarina, appeared in 2006 as a major step forward within the Ferrari range. The design was somewhat controversial at the time, but today it is widely regarded as one of the defining designs from the final period of Pininfarina’s elegant, streamlined Ferrari forms. Simple and understated, yet unmistakably aggressive.
The Ferrari 612 is not its predecessor. Instead, it followed a different path as Ferrari’s elegant 2+2 grand tourer, while the 599 GTB Fiorano was developed as the true successor to the 575M Maranello. So, what is the 599? Take the 575M and add chili. More… no, even more. Now you’re starting to understand. The 612 was a true GT; the 599 was a supercar that also happened to be perfectly suited to long GT drives.
And Ferrari certainly did not hold back. At its heart lies the impressive F140C 6.0-liter V12, closely related to the engine also used in the Ferrari Enzo. With 620 hp at 7,600 rpm, the 599 delivered performance that made it one of Ferrari’s most impressive front-engined cars of its time.
Ferrari was rather secretive about the top speed, simply stating that it was “above 330 km/h.” During tests at the time, however, journalists managed to record approximately 340 km/h on GPS. In other words: this was certainly no understated GT. The 599 took Ferrari’s proven formula of a front-engined V12 and opened everything up several levels further. Time to shift, Schumi.
And then, of course, there is the design. Form, sensation and technique: focus on the emotion! No spoilers or wings; we gladly leave those to the boy racers. The open C-pillars function as aerodynamic spoilers, yet look like true works of art. Every line flows seamlessly into the next, creating a design that is both elegant and thrilling. So graceful that it deserves to be quietly savored for a moment. Preferably with a good Barolo, in the man cave, next to the Rari.
Our example has an extraordinary history behind it — a history enthusiasts have undoubtedly dreamed of at some point.
The car was originally delivered new in Germany, has retained its original registration throughout its life and has been exceptionally well preserved. The conversion to a six-speed manual transmission only enhances what a Ferrari V12 Grand Tourer should be: engaging, effortless and extraordinarily enjoyable to drive.
Finished in the sensational and highly sought-after Rosso Monza, combined with a Sabbia interior, this car possesses extraordinary elegance. The 20-inch Challenge-style polished wheels add just enough presence to remind you of the performance and character concealed beneath the beautiful exterior.
This particular Ferrari has not missed a single service and has retained its original first paint finish throughout its life. The previous owner cared for the car with great precision, paying attention even to the smallest details. The result is that it is particularly difficult to say anything negative about this exceptional example.
We would love to welcome you and spend some time together discovering the car, its history and everything that makes this Ferrari so special.
