Few things will give a man a big enough horn to fell trees with at a single glance. Off the top of my head I reckon that Emma Bunton lezzing it up with the now legal Harry Potter bird would do it. Or maybe a live world televised Thierry Henry castration.
But a brand new, unpopped cherry Ferrari would trump at least one of the above.
Fanboys of Ferrari and all things racing may be aware of their experimental racing car, the 599XX. And even if you’ve never heard of it, it might be of interest to know that this magnificent piece of horn inducing beauty is inspired by said experimental car.
Fans will also know that it does indeed share its looks with the 599 road car, but in fact it’s a toned down version of the race car.
Race car. Those two words bring you back to your childhood when you wished you had one. Or when your best mate had a race car shaped bed and he’d never let you in it on the sleep over. Although in hindsight, that might have been a good thing as he now prefers the drivers of the cars instead of the hot pit girls.
There’s only 599 of these bad boys are being built which means that even if you win the Euromillions, you still won’t get your greasy mitts on one.
Here’s a few of the stats:
- An upgraded Enzo 6.0 litre, V12 engine.
- 661 BHP
- 0 – 62 mph in 3.4 seconds.
- Top speed of over 208 mph
There are claims that it will be more fuel efficient than the standard 599, but let’s face it if you’re buying one of these that’ll be the least of your thoughts.
The GTO has a more advanced electronic system which Ferrari claims will all but eliminate under steer; a new generation of carbon ceramic brakes and so-called wheel donuts which will fit over the brakes to improve aerodynamic efficiency and cooling.
The car is priced at over €350,000. Stick the VRT on that and all the other charges and you’re looking at being spit on by us if you ever do get one.
To make matters even more insulting for us mere mortals, Ferrari reckon that anyone who buys it will spend the purchase price again on personalisation.
What the fuckery does that mean? Ringtones? A screen saver? A pop up Ferrari girl to pleasure you with her feet?
For that kind of money, it’d better do something special.
