With the release
of the 599 GTB Ferrari is presenting its most powerful
V12-engined production car of all time. Amedeo Felisa,
Ferrari's Vice General Manager will announce today at the
Detroit Motor Show the birth of the latest model developed
in Maranello.
The new car is a concentration of Ferrari's most innovative
and technologically advanced engineering solutions applied
to a mid-front engined two-seater coupé. The result is a new
benchmark for performance, driver involvement and design.
The Ferrari 599 GTB boasts class-leading power thanks to its
5,999cc V12 - derived directly from the Enzo Ferrari
supercar - which produces no less than 620hp at 7,600 rpm
for a weight/power ratio of just 2.6 kg per horsepower.

Ferrari has adopted the latest evolution in its tried and
tested all-aluminium construction technology for the body
and chassis. The unmistakable Pininfarina design gives the
Ferrari 559 GTB aggressive yet elegant lines which are
perfectly integrated with the advanced aerodynamic solutions
adopted to reach the performance figures attainable. This
new model is the symbol of Ferrari's production - the V12
berlinetta - and represents the latest interpretation of a
theme that has seen such classics as the 250 GT, the 275 GTB,
and the 365 GTB4.
The Ferrari 599 GTB now replaces the last in that great line
of berlinettas, the 575M Maranello, of which - together with
the 550 Maranello introduced in 1996 - no fewer than 5,700
have been produced, a record for this type of model for the
Prancing Horse. The new Ferrari 599 GTB will be officially
unveiled on the 28th of February 2006 at the Geneva Motor
Show.
