Limited edition 599 GTO is coming
#51
Latest information that we will not see presentation of this car in Geneva, instead we will see 599 Hybrid, but GTO launch is moved, now it is likely to happen at Beijing auto show in April, as I told before official launch is moved from early spring to April/May.
There is information that few dealers in Europe already saw the car, also some more previews of the car rumored to happen during February/March.
All information we have now is that the car will be not so aggressive as 599XX, but it will maintain some clues from 599XX like front style and engine bonnet, in rear expect to see exhaust with similar displacement as on 430 Scuderia and reworked boot lid. Interior will be stripped down with loads of CF. 670 hp and about 100 kg lighter. There are rumors about reworked Super fast gearbox and CC brakes also.

Ferrari 599 GTO 'this year' - Autocar.co.uk
"A Ferrari 599 GTO is set to be launched later this year, featuring several key features seen on the 599XX, driven exclusively by Autocar this week.The GTO will be a more focused version of the 599 than the current GTB and HG TE models, and its imminent launch was confirmed by Ferrari boss Amedeo Felisa on a trip to Australia this week.
Power will likely be north of 650bhp, with a similar rise in torque and performance. Weight will be reduced to les than 1650kg, and the car will also likely feature the higher performing ferous iron brake pad technology pioneered on the XX model (pictured here) plus, perhaps, the more aggressive gear shift software and certain elements of the aerodynamic upgrades seen on the 599XX.
The GTO will most likely be announced at the forthcoming Geneva show, with first customer cars being delivered in the summer, possibly as early as June.
Expect a price tag between £250-300k, depending on options."

I still hope for more than 650 hp mentioned in Autocar article. From what I know the hp amount will be closer to 700 and there will be some very innovative features used in this car as well.

Found these spyshots of the 599 GTO on the web.

I have also heard that the 599 GTO will not have scuderia style exhaust. They had problems with homologating the rear bumper.

Someone on one of the other forums commented that they had seen a blue 599GTO at the factory
The front of the car looks very similar to the 599XX from what he said
So given that some customers have already seen it I guess there should be more info shortly
