Ferrari 599 GTB: first indiscretions on the legacy

After the big surprise of the Ferrari FF, which exceeded the 612 Scaglietti ancestor with a real revolution in terms of style and technological content, is preparing to replace the Ferrari 599 GTB evergreen with a model-according to rumors first-, will continue in the wake of ultraprestazionali GT Maranello.

Priority of a car is to replace the Fiorano will only be performance. So, let's start with the numbers: the future will have at least 700 hp Ferrari supercar. To provide this veritable flood of power, will not miss a V12, which-as it is today and as tradition-Ferrari wants to drain all his anger on the rear wheels only.

The mechanical layout, according to PistonHeads will remain true today: the twelve-cylinder will stay in place in the front hood. A significant improvement compared to the 599, will be the weight, and consequently, the fast acceleration performance. But we're going to go into detail. The engine of the new 599, will probably be an evolution of 6.3 direct-injection V12 that has just debuted on FF with 660 hp.

It seems that here too the idea of combining a multi-cylinder four wheel drive system, has almost been taken into consideration: the two-seat GT is and will remain a hard and pure driver's car. In any event, the four-wheel-drive-it is rumored that dell'FF not be the only application. Nothing specific appears on the horizon in the short term, but over the coming years it is possible an expansion of the scope of the revolutionary system launched on FF.

According to some declarations "wrested" the tester Raffaele De Simone, the heir to the Fiorano make extensive use of carbon fiber, but it will take to the structural parts.
