White 599 topspeed run!

2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Top Speed Run | Concept Photos, Reviews, & More at Motortrend.com

I got a chance to get a ride in this car a few weekends ago, it is VERY fast. Rivals the CGT no doubt in acceleration. Everything is very sudden feeling at high revs, I loved it.

Also I thin this car looks best in white, better in white than red!

Wow, it really does look great in white! I'm disappointed it only did 201.5 though. I would've expected a little bit faster. Great video though, thanks for sharing!

You know what's crazy, it looked like it pulled twice as hard from 190-210 then it did from 160-185-190!!

The straightaway starts at around 190.....at 160-185 he was still in the corner. Don't know how these top speed runs work but I guess you're not full throttle in the corners.

Great video, as Martin said this car has great pulling power "upstairs". Each time he came out of the turn, the needle went back up to the indicated 210 range with no problem.

Car looks awesome in white. Thanks for sharing

Glad you guys liked it.

Note how the driver short shifted it in all the gears...it was not an acceleration run but a TOP speed run.
