	F1-Trac
	Few aspects of electronic Grand Prix car systems have been so studied and refined as traction control. Traction control uses electronics to compare the car’s speed with the rate at which the drive wheels are turning, to detect whether there is any slip between tyre and road. If slip is detected beyond a desirable minimum, the traction control system intervenes to prevent excessive wheel spin. In its 599 GTB Fiorano.
	599 HGTE
	When it first debuted, the 599 GTB Fiorano set a new standard in terms of performance that remains a benchmark for new sports car development to this day. Now Ferrari is introducing the new Handling GTE (Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione) package for the model to further underscore its sportiness and handling. The package includes a modified set-up with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar as well as new calibration settings for the magn ...[Read more]
	The Ferrari Panamerican 20,000
	After the enormous success of the "Ferrari 15,000 Red Miles" tour of China by two 612 Scagliettis driven by a team of international journalists, Ferrari announces another tough challenge for this year, the Panamerican 20,000. On August 24th 2006, two Ferrari 599 GTB Fioranos began a long journey from Brazil that took them through 16 countries and across 20,000 miles (32,000 km) to New York where they arrived on November 17th.
	The new 599 GTB Fiorano Handling GTE Package
	Maranello, 27th February 2009 – The 79th Geneva International Motor Show provides the venue for Ferrari to announce two new pieces of good news: the arrival of the sporty, dynamic Handling GT Evoluzione (HGTE) Package for the 599 GTB Fiorano and the world debut of the 599XX which is a technological laboratory aimed at a select group of clients. The latter new car incorporates the most advanced technologies.
	Aerodynamics
	The Pininfarina designers had one clear but ambitious goal in designing the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. They wanted to clothe it in innovative lines that would still have all of the trademarks of Ferrari's sportiest and most high performance models. As ever, this process was not a standalone one but took place hand in hand with the optimisation of the car's exterior aerodynamics which were designed to deliver cutting-edge downforce figures.
	Personalization
	The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a strikingly sculptural car, its surfaces beautifully honed and modelled by Ferrari's designers and engineers. The design is so supple, in fact, that every angle brings something new to light. All of the freedom allowed in designing an extreme sports car was used here and the result is endlessly surprising. A balance has been struck in the interior between the car's sporty vocation.
	Engine
	The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano's engine is a 65° V12 with a 5999 cm3 displacement that delivers a specific power output of 103 hp/litre. Its architecture was derived directly from the Enzo's. A further development of the same engine, this time for track-only use, was used on the recent Ferrari FXX also. The basic architecture of the Enzo engine was retained (block, cylinder heads, sump and combustion chamber geometries)
	F1 superfast gearbox
	One of the unique strengths of the current Ferrari range is the F1-type gearbox. This was taken a step further in the design of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano resulting in the astonishing F1-SuperFast. The new gearbox's name encompasses the two key concepts behind its design: the fact that it is derived from the ultra-competitive world of Formula 1 and the faster-than-ever gear shifting times it delivers.
	SCM
	The damping action exerted by a car's suspension plays a key role in guaranteeing fun driving and easy handling across the board. The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano's SCM Magnetorheological Suspension system, however, is exceptionally efficient even by the Prancing Horse's renowned standards. Its suspension damping is controlled by an ultra-high performance system developed in collaboration with Delphi.
	F1 Trac
	In yet another first for a road car, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano comes equipped with the F1-Trac traction control system which previously only Ferrari's F1 drivers enjoyed. However, Ferrari's track experience is now such that this system has been adapted for industrial production. Because it is so much faster and more precise than a traditional system, the F1-Trac will give even less expert drivers the confidence.
