Replaced the 575M as Ferrari's front-engine V12 GT — Enzo-derived 6.0 V12 NA (612 bhp), aluminium space-frame, magnetorheological dampers (a Ferrari first). HGTE handling pack from 2009 sharpened steering, springs and ride height. 599 GTO (2010, 661 bhp, 599 cars) was the road-going 599XX — fastest road Ferrari at the time round Fiorano. SA Aperta (2010, 80 cars) was the convertible run-out. Last analogue front-engine V12 before the F12berlinetta — paddleshift only on UK cars (six-speed manual built in tiny numbers).
