Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - model information
Introduction
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano boasts stunning performance: its 6 litre V12, which was developed from the Enzo Ferrari engine, punches out 612 bhp at 7,600 rpm and combines with an Alcoa all-aluminium chassis and aluminium bodywork for a power to weight ratio of less than 6 lb/hp.
The innovative Delphi SCM Magnetorheological suspension control is just one of the technological features used for the first time on a performance car. When combined with the F1 Superfast gearbox, the F1-Trac road-holding, safety and stability system, the steering wheel-mounted manettino vehicle dynamics control switch and the advanced downforce and aerodynamic efficiency styling, the 599 GTB Fiorano truly represents the suitable application of Ferrari racing knowledge and technology to a roadgoing production GT.
Design
The 599 GTB Fiorano was designed by Pininfarina and is a strikingly sculptural car. The body's forms are so supple, in fact, that from every angle you look at it there is always something new that comes to light. The car's lines are a result of lengthy testing in the wind tunnel, with exceptional results in terms of both downforce and drag.
Aerodynamic development on the car's underbody, the rear diffuser and flying buttresses (which help direct the air flow from the glasshouse towards the rear nolder) have resulted in 160 kg of downforce at 186 mph. Despite this excellent figure, the drag coefficient is a low 0.336.
Technical Features
The heart of the 599 GTB Fiorano is the 611bhp Enzo-derived 5,999cc V12 which features variable timing on both inlet and exhaust cams and a specific output of 103hp per litre. Maximum torque of 608Nm is produced at 5,600 rpm, while the engine will pull all the way to 8,400 rpm.
The 599 GTB Fiorano incorporates a number of advanced technical features that debut on this model for the first time. The new generation F1 gearbox incorporates the latest F1-Superfast system that cuts overall gear-shift times to just 100 ms by carrying out the various phases involved in changing gears (clutch actuation and gear selection) in parallel instead of sequentially.
The F1-Trac traction and stability control features predictive software which provides even better handling and improves grip out of bends for a 20 percent increase in exit speed compared to traditional systems. Similarly the SCM (Magnetorheological Suspension Control) suspension is a first in a high performance sports car and guarantees faster response as well as lower levels of roll, squat and pitch.
A significant reduction in kerb weight has been achieved by adopting Ferrari's advanced all-aluminium chassis and body construction system. At 1580 kg the 599 is in fact 40 kg lighter than the outgoing 575M Maranello, despite being considerably bigger.

Interior
A balance has been struck in the interior between the 599 GTB Fiorano's sporty vocation and the feeling of intimacy that only skilled hand-crafting and detailed personalisation can achieve. Sumptuous leather trim is tastefully combined with high-tech detailing in carbon-fibre and aluminium for a unique ambience, and there are novel styling cues including a central grip to provide extra purchase for the passenger and new adaptive racing seats featuring carbon-fibre side rests.
Considerable attention was also paid to the 599 GTB Fiorano's packaging. 85 percent of the kerb weight is concentrated between the axles for a low polar moment of inertia and the long wheelbase (nearly 10' longer than the 575M Maranello's) ensures optimum cockpit space. There's also a class-leading boot size that ideally suits the car's grand touring capabilities.
