Named in honor of Ferraris famous private test track, the 599 GTB Fiorano was Ferrari’s front-engined V12 flagship from 2007 to 2012. Thanks to its 5,999 cc V-12 engine derived from the Enzo supercar, the 599 GTB Fiorano offered staggering performance that continued Ferrari’s tradition of front-engined grand touring cars that evolved from the 275GTB to the 365GTB/4 Daytona, to the 550 and to the 575 Maranello. Replacing the 575 Maranello, the 599 incorporated the latest in exotic automotive technology including an extruded aluminum chassis (making it 100kg lighter than the Maranello), active aerodynamics (giving 160kg of downforce at 300kph) for state-of-the-art road holding. With an output of 612hp, the 599 GTB Fiorano is capable of 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and a you-will-never-go-this-fast top speed of 206mph!
As a 21,316 miles, highway-driven Ferrari, 599 GTB s/n 159219 is in excellent condition. The paintwork is as-new throughout and was ceramic coated in Sept., 2018. The lower rockers, door edges, fuel filler, side mirrors, front lights, and the entire front end are in exceptionally nice condition. The full front end is dent-free, blemish free and has been 3M clear-coated. The lights and glass are excellent and the wheels are free of curbing. The interior is also excellent, with almost no appreciable signs of wear. The carpets, leather, and dashboard are excellent, with only very minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster. There is no lack of carbon fiber, which is very striking, and covers the dashboard, instrument cluster, center console, door panels, door sills and the seat backs and sides. The switches and controls are all like new. The engine compartment and the trunk are also very clean and show no wear. The trunk contains the Becker 6-CD changer as well as the manual pack with manuals in their carrying case and the tools in their carrying case. The underside is very clean and features a front and rear belly pan, in the interest of the 599’s state-of-the-art aerodynamics.
599 GTB s/n 159219 is a well-optioned and extremely clean example of the 599 GTB in a rich and elegant color combination. The many optional carbon fiber extras, the power Daytona seats and the LED shift lights in the colored steering wheel offer a striking and desirable package. The dealer-installed HGTE package improves handling. The seats, developed by Recaro, are multi-functional and have adjustable pneumatic support for the passenger’s hips and ribs to provide a tight grip during high-speed road or circuit driving. 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE s/n 159219 now has 21,316 miles and comes with the full set of twelve service and ownership books and booklets in their leather carrying pouch, the tools in their carrying case, the battery tender in its carrying bag and a clean Carfax. Last serviced by Ferrari Maserati of Ontario in Sept. of this year with all services up to date. A gorgeous car that will not disappoint.
