There hasn’t been a vehicle since the 60s that has been able to blend brains, brawn, sophistication, and beauty the way the new Ferrari 599 GTB does.
Forget the forgetable 2+2 Ferraris. Forget the half-measures. This is a pure interpretation of sportscar.
Two seats. mid-front engined, six-speed manual transmission, aluminum body, a 5,999cc V12 engine that delivers 620 horepower, under 4,000 pounds, and a 0-60 in 3.7 seconds mean that the Ferrari 599 GTB is the most powerful V12 production car of all time while still not looking even remotely like a monster.
In fact, it looks a little like the Mercedes SL600 mixed with the Lexus SC 430 mixed with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage — all elegant cars — but with all the signature Italian flavors of Pininfarina and Enzo Ferrari.
And at $240,000, the Ferrari 599 GTB is $960,000 less than the Bugatti Veyron and $244,151 less than the Porsche Carrera GT. And cheap at any price.

the pentagram wheels ruin the beautiful car
Proves the Devil is Italian too (but we’ve known as much since Dante). Look at the pentagrams on those rims!
