Ferrari to pay tribute to Fernando Alonso with a limited Edition 599

As Ferrari prepares its replacement to the 599GTB our sources tell us that one final swan song is headed down the pike dubbed the 599 Alonoso Edition, which we are told is most likely based on the ever amazing 599GTO. We have confirmed this with our sources close to Maranello and should have more details any day now. The 599 to honor former F1 world champion (and current Ferrari F1 pilot) will be light in weight and limited in number. We are told only 40 examples will be produced. Production is set to begin in January of 2012.

Interesting to note that Michael Schumacher brought home five of his seven world titles driving for Ferrari and all he got was a Fiat named after him, my how times have changed!
