FERRARI 599 GTO – Acceleration, driving and sound in Monaco 2013 HQ

Here another video from my special week-end spent in Monaco last Summer. Monaco is for sure the Carspotting Heaven, because you can see over one hundred supercars and hypercars in a single day without losing the opportuniy to visit this wonderful city located on the beautiful French Riviera.

The heart of the city, and “The Mecca” for every guy who likes automotive world, is certainly the CASINO SQUARE where there are the mythic Casino de Monte-Carlo and the HOTEL THE PARIS. This places, for the monegasque PLACE DU CASINO, attract the best cars and hypercars of the world making you time spent there unforgettable.

One of the other most exclusive places of the city is for sure the MONTE CARLO BEACH HOTEL, a wonderful place at the end of Monaco at the border with Roquebrune Cap-Martin which offers umbrellas and sunbeds at the seaside. A night in this luxury Hotel costs 500-2.000 €, so only rich people attends it and used to park his amazing supercars in front of Hotel entrace.

In this video a stunning red with white stripes Ferrari 599 GTO powered by a 599 XX rear wing with swiss driving licence plate spotted around the city giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, cavallino logo and to record its noisy start-up and its lovely sound while driving.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a sports car produced by the italian manufacture in Maranello, Modena since 2006 to replace the Ferrari 575M Maranello.
This two-seat flagship is entirely designed by Pininfarina under the direction of Frank Stephenson and was unveiled for the first time at the 2006 Geneva Motorshow.
Its name stands for its displacement (5999 cc) Gran Turismo Berlinetta, and Fiorano is a tribute to the historical private Ferrari Track.

In the 2010 was announced the Ferrari 599 GTO, where GTO stands for GranTurismo Omologato, becoming the third car in the Ferrari’s history to have this designation after the 250 GTO and the 288 GTO. The car is a road legal version of the Ferrari 599XX and Ferrari says that the 599 GTO is their fastest road car ever, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Enzo Ferrari.

Its engine produce now 670 hp and 620 Nm of torque, enough to reach the 0-100 Km/h in 3,3 seconds and a max speed of over 340 Km/h.
At the powerful engine we have to add almost 100 Kg less than the standard GTB, with a weight of only 1605 Kg.
One of the most significant innovations on the 599 GTO is the close correlation between the chassis set-up, which is close to the handling limit, and the input from the electronic controls which are developed to increase overall levels of performance.

The production was limited to 599 units, all sold in a week from debout at a basical price of 350.000 €, with 125 produced for the United States market.

At the 2010 Paris Motor Show was introduced a convertible version of the 599 GTO, named Ferrari 599 SA Aperta in honor of the designers Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina. The production was limited to only 80 examples for a price of 1 Million dollars.

The production will end in 2012, when the 599 was replaced by the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, and everybody can’t wait for a Ferrari F12 GTO to follow the footsteps of this awesome car.

Complete walkaround with each detail like interior, wheels, engine, logo and lights, driving, LOUD starting-up and really noisy exhaust rev sound.
