The 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show on February 28, 2006. Styling of the 599 GTB was handled by Pininfarina, under the direction of Ferrari stylist, Frank Stephenson. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ferrarifiorano.com/ ">Official website</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Engine</span><br /><br />Tipo F133F 6.0 L (5999 cc) V12 engine produces a maximum 620 CV (620 hp/456 kW/611 bhp), making it the most-powerful series production Ferrari road car. Its 608 N·m (448 ft·lbf) of torque will also be a high for Ferrari's GT cars. Most of the modifications to the engine were done to allow it to fit in the Fiorano's engine bay (the original Enzo version could be taller since the mid-mounted position allowed it to be so). The company claims a top speed in excess of 330 km/h (205 mph), 3.7 second sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph),and 11.0 to 200 km/h (124 mph).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SPECIFICATIONS:</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Manufacturer</span> Ferrari<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Parent company</span> Fiat Group<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Production</span> 2006–<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Predecessor</span> Ferrari 575M Maranello<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Class</span> Gran Turismo<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Body style(s)</span> 2-seat berlinetta<br />Layout FR layout<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Engine(s)</span> 6.0 L Tipo F133F V12<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Transmission(s)</span> 6-speed manual<br />6-speed 'F1' sequential<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Wheelbase </span> 2750 mm (108.3 in)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Length</span> 4665 mm (183.7 in)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Width </span> 1962 mm (77.2 in)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Height</span> 1336 mm (52.6 in)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Curb weight </span> 1690 kg (3722 lb)<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fuel capacity </span> 27.7 US gal (105 L/23 imp gal)<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c5_HWxHMCB8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c5_HWxHMCB8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Technical details:</span><br /><br />A traditional 6-speed manual transmission as well as Ferrari's 6-speed sequential manual gearbox called 'F1 SuperFast' is offered. The e-diff active differential from the F430 is not used. However, the Manettino concept first seen in the F430 also appears in this car. Ferrari sourced the Delphi Corporation's MagneRide semi-active magneto rheological dampers. Reviewers of the car have mentioned that the MagneRide suspension gives the 599 a very comfortable ride but allows it to handle well at the same time.<br /><br />The Fiorano also sees the debut of Ferrari's new traction control system, called F1-Trac. Reportedly tuned using inputs from 7-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher, the system supposedly allows a competent driver to lap the Fiorano test track at just 1 second behind Michael's time.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_599_GTB_Fiorano">Information</a>
