There were many different cars unveiled at the New York auto show on April 7, but one of the most attractive was definitely the brand new Ferrari.
The Ferrari 599XX and 599GTB Fiorano were on display in the Ferrari showroom.
The 599XX is tuned completely for use on a race track, meaning nothing included in the auto is street legal. The 599XX has a recorded Fiorano lap time of 1 minute and 17 seconds flat. This baby also tops out at 700 horsepower and 9000RPMs. The unique race tuning means lighter body design and hardware, including a unique crankshaft, a lighter engine, and a special lightweight frame design. A tuned gearbox means the auto will shift in a speedy 60 milliseconds, adding less time shifting gears and more time accelerating on the track.
The 599GTB with the included GTE (Gran Turismo Evoluzione) package includes the souped up V12 engine, which alone adds about $25,000 to the price tag because of the added power.
Both Ferrari versions, including the new California, are not due for release until June 2008 but were available for showing in all rooms in North America.
If you have a chance hit an auto show, you might have a chance to see one of these bad boys.
