Here we have some fantastic up close and personal images of the new Ferrari 599 GTO at the 2010 Beijing Auto show. Pictures are courtesy of Autoblog.com. Pull up a chair and start drooling...

 

Awesome, DJ!!

Also, I thought the rear diffuser was going to be carbon fiber? Is it an option?

 

Great find as always DJ!
That interior in insane!!

 

Not feeling the interior, but I love the two tone. The Autoblog article says "Ferrari's fastest ever front-engined road car" I thought it was there fastest road car period.

Can anyone clarify?

 

I remember Ferrari claimed that it is faster road-going Ferrari ever made, but topspeed for example is lower than that of Enzo. So may be to claim that it is faster ever front-engined car is safer, but sounds rather weird because it is something self-understandable.

Not feeling interior with that matte CF and gloss CF combo.

 

So sick! Going to rob a bank right now. JK

Trying to figure out what material Ferrari used above the instrument cluster/dash. It looks like stitched canvas, not alcantara.

 

^ Yea I remembered them saying that originally, and it does sound rather weird.

 

Unlike everyone else, I am not hypnotised by the ferrari charm on this one.. It look like one of those Mansory kits with that two tone thing and it certainly doesn't deserve the iconic GTO badge.. Although interior is nice.

BTW Note to Ferrari : Enough with paddles fixed to steering column. If you call 'em F1 Transmission at least use them as they do in F1 like mounted on the Steering WHEEL ! DUH ! Making them longer each time doesn't change that fact...

Sorry for the F-Car rant...

 

I respectfully disagree. Obviously the looks is a matter of taste and there's no point in arguing about that but the paddles absolutely make sense.
If you mount them on the steering wheel and you drift and need to make some really fast wheelturns you immediately lose track of which paddle is which. That makes it impossible to shift while drifting. Trust me there's no time for looking down at the steering wheel and figuring out which paddle is which while drifting. With the large fixed paddles it doesn't matter where your hands are or if the steering wheel is upside down, you always know which paddle is which and thanks to the size you can always reach them with your fingers. I think Ferrari's paddles are the best around right now.

 

amazing!!
