Tech details [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_599"]here[/URL]

I saw a documentary on NGC last night about the factory which makes this piece of art and I have to say it really is worth every eurocent of the 300.000 euro price tag. This car is made with the same precission as the spaceshuttle is made. Incredible...

Very sweet ... but the back doesn't do it for me - could be the angle, but this baby seems to have one fat ass !

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Is that an auto??? Do people really pay all that money for Ferraris and buy an auto?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm a revhead noob.

#852568Post 14 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

its probably an auto with the option to paddle shift, just like an f-1 car. the new automatic transmitions can shift faster than any human could ever hope to...

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Don't like it. I prefer the Enzo.

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The car looks kinda short and squat. Love the way the show's host was gushing like a schoolgirl. Hilarious.

Any hot car, you know you'll see them here. No. 1 car market in the world. More Lambos and Porsches, etc. are sold here than in anywhere else. :RockOn:

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

It's awesome to see how designers of great car companies such as ferrari, lamborghini, aston martin, BMW, etc, always manage to surprise and make cars even beatutifull each year...

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

^ ^ True but this car isn't one of them. Too bulky yet plain.

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Yeah. I'm shocked they even think it's attractive. Well, most italian women are hairy. :roflmao:

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Is it automatic?... kind of weird in such a beast

#853275Post 33 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Nope, tiptronic

#853278Post 34 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

That tiptronic shit is boring.

#853284Post 35 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Myeah, it looks cool 'n' all, but I prefer stickshift too. Separates the men from the women :mrgreen:

#853287Post 36 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

It's just a lot more fun with a stick. The tiptronic, or whatever it's called, sucks the fun out of driving a car.

#853454Post 37 of 39

Re: Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

It's not tiptronic. Tiptronic is a Porsche brand name for it's auto with buttons on the wheel. This is an automated manual, totally different, same as the F1 system. And it's fucking awesome, you have to try it before slating it.
