The Ferrari 599 GTB was one of the most important Ferraris in Ferrari's history.
After the successes of the 550 and 575M Maranello, both capable of bringing back the segment of sports cars with a front V12 engine in the Prancing Horse range, the Ferrari 599 GTB follows the two excellent cars that preceded it with an even sportier style and equipped with an attention to aerodynamics never seen on a Ferrari and destined to make school within the new cars of the Maranello House.
Launched in 2006, the Ferrari 599 GTB brings under the hood the 6.0 V12 derived from the brand new F140 that debuted on the incredible Ferrari Enzo, capable of 620 hp, available both with 6-speed manual gearbox (last Ferrari V12 available with the classic manual transmission) and with the new F1 automated manual transmission.
Equipped with a more refined and modern interior than the previous Prancing Horse cars, Ferrari 599 is one of the Ferraris that has marked a huge leap in quality between the old and the new guard, remained in the hearts of fans for being one of the last Ferraris available with manual transmission.

The Ferrari 599 GTB is a grand tourer produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari.
It was the brand's front engined, two-seat model that replaced the 575M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model, and was replaced for the 2013
model year by the F12berlinetta.
Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Jason Castriota, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006.
The bodywork features optimized aerodynamics with distinct sail panels flanking the rear window, directing and maximizing air flow to a
linear rear nolder.
The 599 is named for its total engine displacement 5,999 cc (6.0 L), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track
used by Ferrari.
