Ferrari 599XX Technical Study Captured Before Geneva Show Opening

 Ferrari 599XX Technical Study Captured Before Geneva Show Opening
Ferrari 599XX technical study

Thanks to a lack of security at the Geneva PalExpo Centre these images of a Ferrari 599XX are out in the open for everyone's enjoyment less than 24 hours before Ferrari is supposed to officially uncover the car. As can be seen in the pics the F60 F1 challenger will be shown in the same event. Details are understandably quite scarce at the moment but the 599XX is set to be the most extreme 599 GTB Fiorano ever seen. We wouldn't be surprised if Michael Schumacher was extensively involved in its development.

It will apply Ferrari's F1 know-how as well as lightweight construction to enhance performance in every way. We see that massive rear diffuser, the small rear wing made of what looks like carbon fiber, and a dark roof. Side wings appear to stick out from the C pillar, the dark wheels sport big Ferrari brakes and the tyres are quite slick.

Ferrari is expected to produce the 599XX in very limited numbers, possibly for faithful Ferrari owners who will be hand-picked from an already small pool. By afternoon on the 3rd of March all details and pictures regarding the 599XX will be posted on WCF.

Those side wings are coming to a ricer near you. So will it be this, or the Mansory Stallone?

Sure they'll be effective on this car, but not when someone inevitably attaches it to their Honda Civic and what not.

Ofcourse it would. You cant compare this to the Reventon. The Reventon is a special limited edition design showcase,with an increased hp of 650 compared to the 640 of the LP640s. But this is a stripped down racetrack focused car. If u wanna compare it to a Lambo, then compare it to the new LP670-4 SV, which is still not as track focused as this.

Those tyres look almost too slick to be road legal... I'd say a track-car?

Looks silly IMO, and the side blades are too small to look good, compared to the Rossa concept car.

It's gorgeous. I think, like the original FXX it is a track car (hence the slicks, Lucifa) is a way for Ferrari to test their technologies for future road cars. Like many technologies (gearbox etc) tested on the Enzo-based FXX made it to the 430 Scuderia, this will be a test-bed for future front-engined Ferraris - like the 599 replacement and maybe a hot version of the California. Technically, Ferrari shouldn't need more than a handful of mules to test a new model, but as a marketing gimmick - and to make some massive cash - they sell (you pay for it, but you only really get to drive it around Ferrari's Fiorano track) about a dozen of them and customers feel like they're a part of the development team. It's genius really. I don't like the standard 599 too much (the 575 was way better, I think) but this just looks the business!
