According to rumours on the internet, the Ferrari 599 GTO presentation will take place on April 7, meaning it won’t be long before we see this extreme, track-focused Ferrari. According to AutoGespot, the Ferrari 599 GTO will have a new version of the six-litre V12 from the 599XX, and power could be up around 620 to 670 hp.
It looks like we still won’t reach the milestone of 700 hp, but in compensation impressive torque is also expected, between 610 and 620 Nm, and acceleration to 100 km/hr could take just 3.3 seconds. The “base” model version of the 599 takes 3.7 seconds, the Enzo 3.6 and the Ferrari 458 Italia takes 3.4 seconds, putting the 599 GTO figure in a natural sequence of evolution. Apparently 0-200 km could take just 9.8 seconds which is scary stuff, as far as I’m concerned.
We knew the Ferrari 599 GTO would be a hot performer, and if these figures are confirmed, they put it at the top of supercar performers. Even a weight reduction of 195 kg is expected, meaning the 599 GTO will weigh around 1,495 kg. Compared to the Ferrari 599XX the exhaust system also gets an overhaul, which could prove music to our ears.
