Ferrari 599 GTB

The Ferrari 599 GTB was designed with several specific objectives in mind: to increase driving pleasure, to guarantee performance (courtesy of technology transfers from the F1 single-seaters), and to ensure comfort, ergonomics and safety. The new Ferrari 599 GTB sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed in excess of 330 km/h. The car takes its name from the Fiorano circuit Ferrari uses to hone the performance of its track and road cars. 'GTB' stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta, after the most famous Ferrari berlinettas ever built, and '599' is the displacement of the V12 engine divided by 10.

Ferrari 599 GTB Specification

Specification

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) while new components and subassemblies were designed to yield high engine revs, significantly reduce weight and optimise its distribution,and yield a more compact power unit.

The combination of different components produces the signature Ferrari sound. The air filter housing is fed by a tube connected to an intake in the front bumpers to transmit the intake sound into the cabin while the exhaust silencer's volumes and geometry were optimized too. There is also variable geometry management with By-Pass valves to generate resonance in line with the intake frequencies and reduce the exhaust back pressure to the engine to maximise power delivery at higher revs.
