The 599 GTB Fiorano 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 car 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 Fiorano aggressive yet elegant lines which are perfectly integrated with the advanced aerodynamic solutions adopted to reach the performance figures attainable. This 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 599 GTB Fiorano 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. Esperienza Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and 612 Scaglietti. Verona 23-2 July 2009. 612 Scaglietti. The 612 Scaglietti combines the pure thoroughbred performance of a sporty Ferrari Berlinetta with comfortable cabin space for four occupants. In line with Ferrari’s tradition of constantly evolving its models, numerous modifications have recently been made to the Grand Tourer flagship model. Specifically, the 612 Scaglietti now sports a special panoramic roof which covers the entire cabin. This feature really does give occupants the feeling of being in a drop-top yet they still enjoy the comfort and security of a coupé. One unique characteristic of this glass panoramic roof is its electrochromic technology. This allows its tint – and thus light levels inside the cabin – to be varied at will. The 612 Scaglietti is also fitted with the F1-Superfast which delivers overall gearshifting times of 100 milliseconds plus a low inertia twin-disc clutch for quicker and smoother response. The Prancing Horse’s 2+2 also sports the manettino on its steering wheel – this time in a specific three-setting GT configuration. Esperienza Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and 612 Scaglietti.
