Ferrari 599 Replacement (F152)2013

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about a replacement for the Ferrari 599 Fiorano, but this is the first time we can offer more details about the new sports car. For starters, expect it to make its official at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March with sales beginning later in the year.

The 599 replacement will be built on an all-new chassis and will borrow design elements from both the 2012 Ferrari FF and the Ferrari California. The model will get modified bumpers and new headlamps, a modified bonnet, and a new exhaust system with tips that sit higher than on the current 599.

Fans of true sportscars can also breathe easier knowing that the replacement 599 will not be a hybrid model. It will instead be powered by a direct injected 6.3-liter V-12 - the same as in the the FF - with a total output of 700 HP. The engine will be combined with a rear-wheel drive system and the Ferrari’s latest seven-speed dual clutch gearbox.

YouTube member, Marchettino, is at it again and this time he was able to capture the Ferrari 599 replacement during some testing at the Fiorano racetrack. Hit the jump to watch the vehicle in action!

In an interview with Car & Driver, Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa has confirmed that the 599 successor will retain its front-engine arrangement and will be constructed not of carbon composites, but largely from aluminum alloys. The engine will develop "more than 700 [metric] horsepower (690 bhp), but it’s not because of the Aventador." Sure it isn’t.

Ferrari 599 GTX 2011

The Ferrari 599 GTB’s novelty may have run out a bit since the GTO debuted last year, but SP Engineering can aid consumers in upgrading their Ferrari to GTO standards with the help of their latest package. Called the 599 GTX, SP Engineering’s package offers the look and performance of the 599 GTO.

The package comes in three parts: performance, suspension, and exterior. The performance aspect adds a full titanium exhaust with remote valve control system and bypasses two out of the four catalytic converters. SPE also performed an ECU remap on the 6.0 L V12 to maximize power and throttle response, ending with an increased output of 685 HP - even more impressive than the GTO’s 670 HP. The cost is $12,999.

The suspension portion provides custom suspension and sway bars, but keeps all of the original factory magnetic field controls in line ($4,999). SPE also offers an optional front lift kit that raises the Ferrari by up to 2 inches ($12,800).

The final part of the GTX package is for the exterior of the vehicle. The exterior full carbon fiber GTX kit consists of a new front splitterm side skirts, and rear trunk spoiler. This retails for $7,200.

Ferrari Enzo 2012

The Ferrari Enzo may be one of the few cars in the world that doesn’t need any modifications, as it looks absolutely stunning right off the assembly line. But as luck would have it, there are always a few tuners around that know just what accessories to add for that personal touch of awesome. And we have to admit little touches, like a new set of wheels, can make a big difference.

This special Ferrari Enzo has been equipped with a new set of ADV5.2SL wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. For the wheel finish, ADV.1 used their popular polished gunmetal lip / matte black center combination. That’s it. Nothing else was touched, nothing else was fixed. It may be a small upgrade, but the black from the wheels does wonders to compliment the Ferrari’s luscious, red exterior paint job.

Maybe people are starting to take a step back from the Enzo as a show of respect for the dreadful fate experienced by ZR Auto’s Enzo which took a drive into the Atlantic Ocean recently.

Ferrari 599 GTB 2011

Canadian tuner, SR Auto Group, is no stranger to redefining sports cars from a number of high end automakers. The difference with their latest project is that the vehicle in question is on its last leg, and oh what a beautiful leg it is. Called Project Megalith, this tuning kit is based on a Ferrari 599 GTB and its transformation is subtle and sweet.

Gone is the original dark shade found on the Italian sports car. In its place is a matte white frosted hue with two contrasting black stripes running cleanly through the center of the hood and upward towards a blacked out roof. The black accent is also present in a set of Novitec NF3 wheels with a matte black face and polished lip.

No engine upgrades were provided for the Ferrari 599 GTB, so the sports car is still thundering out 611 HP at 7600 rpm and 448 lb-ft at 5600 rpm out of its 5,999cc V12 engine. The difference with the Megalith is that SR Auto Group has opted for an RSC exhaust system to hone in on the Ferrari’s menacing roar.

The reason, Enzo is a car that has a low production volume and not for use as a daily vehicle. "In fact, until now nobody has a real understanding of what happens if you damage the carbon fiber structure," said Felisa.
