Ferrari 599: This Is Your Life

With the birth of the bonkers DRS-enabled 599XX Evo, a look back at the life and times of the 599

Posted: 02 Dec 2011

599 XX 'Evo'

Just as they did with the first XX car, the Enzo based FXX, Ferrari has just announced an Evoluzione package. In the case of the 599, it's mostly aero and comes in the form of a rear wing Drag Reduction System, although the six-litre V12 gets another 30bhp, taking it to 740bhp. Remember the humble 599GTB Fiorano at the start of this story? Its 620bhp was a record output for a Ferrari back then. The opening and closing wing will cost you another £185,000, but it does buy you another two years worth of track time. No new-design overalls though...
