Spies in Maranello, Italy, captured a few shots of a Ferrari 599 GTO prototype while undergoing testing. The street legal version of the 599XX was spotted with a new front bumper, grille, and wheels.
The new car will revive the most hallowed of Ferrari badges: GTO--the first time those three letters will have been used since the 288 GTO ended production almost a quarter of a century ago.
Reports suggest that the 599 GTO comes with a 700 PS (515 kW / 690 bhp) 6.0-liter V12 engine with a 9,000 rpm redline. At 3.2 seconds, speculation suggests the car will spring to 100 km/h a half-second quicker than the 599 GTB. Top speed could be around 350 km/h (217 mph).
Similar in theory to the F430 Scuderia and the 360 Challenge Stradale before that, the hardcore version of the 599 GTB has been captured here for the first time testing in and around the streets of Maranello. Visually, the car will look similar to the Laboratorio Technologico 599XX but not quite as extreme. Clear differences between the new GTO and standard GTB Fiorano are the blacked-out roof, new bumpers and side skirts and the huge rear diffuser.
