About the 599GTB Fiorano:
The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is a grand tourer produced to replace
the 575M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model.
Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Jason Castriota, the
599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. The
bodywork features optimized aerodynamics with distinct sail panels
flanking the rear window, directing and maximizing air flow to a
linear rear nolder.
The 599 is named for its total engine displacement 5,999 cc (6.0
L), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test
track used by Ferrari.
The 6.0 L (5,999 cc) Tipo F140 C V12 engine utilized in the 599
produces a maximum power output of 612HP between 7,600 rpm to 8,400
rpm, making it the most powerful series production Ferrari road car
at the time. At the time of its introduction, this was one of the
few engines whose output exceeded 100HP per liter of displacement
without any kind of forced-induction mechanism such as
supercharging or turbocharging. Its 448 lbf�ft of torque produced
at 5,600 rpm was also a record for Ferrari's GT cars.
Most of the modifications to the engine were done to allow it to
fit in the 599's engine bay (the original version used in the
Ferrari Enzo would be taller as it would block forward vision due
to its mid-mounted position construction).
A traditional 6-speed manual transmission as well as Ferrari's
6-speed automated manual paddle-shift transmission called "F1
SuperFast" was offered which had a shift time of just 100
milliseconds. The 599 also saw the debut of Ferrari's new traction
control system, F1-Trac. The vast majority of the 599 GTB's were
equipped with the automated manual gearbox as opposed to the
6-speed manual gearbox.
Only 30 examples were produced with a manual gearbox of which 20
were destined to the United States and 10 remained in Europe
leading Ferrari to abandon the use of the manual transmission in
its future GT cars.
The 599 saw the use of an aluminum chassis for the first time in a
Ferrari GT car, as opposed to the tubular steel chassis used in its
predecessors. The new chassis results in more rigidity and
contributes to the low dry weight of 3,726 lbs.
The 599 boasts a longer wheelbase than its predecessor and the fuel
tank is positioned at the rear in a mid mounted position for better
weight distribution. Due to such measures, the 599 has a claimed
power to weight ratio of 367 PS per ton.
The 599 utilizes an underbody spoiler and venturi tunnels that
contribute to downforce. The arched C-pillars in a 'flying
buttress' style also aid further in downforce by channeling the air
around the rear section thus eliminating the need of a rear wing.
The buttresses were initially a styling exercise by exterior
designer Jason Castriota. Their aerodynamic effect was proven by
Ferrari aerodynamicist Luca Caldirola with the wind tunnel testing.
Due to this fact, the 599 generates a claimed 353 lbs of downforce
at 186 mph. The car also has functional brake cooling ducts on the
front and rear body panels for improved brake cooling.
The 599 utilises magnetorheological semi-active dampers along with
its suspension coils. The dampers function by a liquid within the
damper reservoir which when subject to magnetic field within the
liquid chamber, changes its viscosity. The function of the liquid
along with the reaction and stability control are controlled
through a knob on the steering wheel. The 599 came with cast iron
brakes as standard while the carbon-ceramic brakes (a technology
that was scarcely utilized in road cars at the time) were available
as an option. The rotors measured 15.7" at the front and 14" at the
rear.
The 599 came with a luxurious leather trimmed interior. The
driver's seat was positioned slightly towards the center in order
to provide a better driving position. The instrument cluster was a
combination of analogue gauges and screens. The foot paddles could
either be optioned in aluminum or in carbon fiber and were affixed
to the steering column. The three spoke steering wheel housed
controls for the car's electronic systems as well as a starter
button. The interior has a glove box, storage space in the door
panels and combination of simple dials and buttons for operating
the stereo, climate control and air conditioning. The car has a
rear shelf and a boot-lid providing adequate boot space.
Performance claimed by Ferrari:
0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds
0-124 mph in 11.0 seconds
Top speed: over 205 mph
