Engine

Ferrari 599 GTB V12 engine

The 599's Enzo-sourced Tipo F133F 6.0 L (5999 cc) V12 engine produces a maximum 620 CV (620 hp/456 kW), making it the most-powerful series production Ferrari road car. Its 448 ft·lb (608 N·m) of torque will also be a high for Ferrari's GT cars. Most of the modifications to the engine were done to allow it to fit in the Fiorano's engine bay (the original Enzo version could be taller since the mid-mounted position allowed it to be so). The company claims a top speed in excess of 330 km/h (205mph), 3.7 second sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph), and 11.0 to 200 km/h (124 mph).^[2] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 533 pixelsFull resolution (1020 × 680 pixel, file size: 532 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) File links The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file (pages on other projects are not listed): Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Metadata This...

A traditional 6-speed manual transmission as well as Ferrari's 6-speed sequential manual gearbox called F1 SuperFast will be offered. The e-diff active differential from the F430 will not be used. However, the Manettino concept first seen in the F430 will also appear in this car. Ferrari will reportedly source the MagneRide active suspension system from Delphi Corporation. Reviewers of the car have mentioned that the MagneRide suspension gives the 599 a very comfortable ride but allows it to handle well at the same time.^{[citation needed]} Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1356x980, 225 KB) This file has been released into the by its author, Alexander Jones. ...

The first publicly recorded crash of a 599 GTB occurred when Car and Driver writer Aaron Robinson crashed one into the retaining wall of the Passo della Cisa in Italy, a few meters from a monument to Enzo Ferrari (for his finishing fourth in a 1919 hill climb on that same road). The car suffered only minor damage to the front right fender, and Robinson and photographer Mike Valente were able to drive it back to the factory.
