Only the revered Ferrari 250 GTO and 288 GTO models had been bestowed with the Gran Turismo Omologato title prior to the arrival of the hard-edged 599 GTO in 2010. It was, in effect, the road-legal iteration of the track-only 599XX and it was claimed to be the fastest production Ferrari ever built at the time of its debut.
A naturally aspirated, 6.0-litre V12 that delivered some 670 horsepower to the rear wheels via a six-speed transmission dominated a package that was, like the 599XX, almost 100 kilograms lighter than the standard 599. Accordingly, the car lapped the Fiorano test track a second faster than the revered Enzo, from which its engine was derived. The top speed was 335 km/h and it could reach 100 km/h in under 3.3 seconds.
In total just 599 examples of the 599 GTO were produced worldwide, ensuring that the model would always be sought after by collectors and dedicated enthusiasts. This car was delivered new to the UK, and has spent its life around the country by one single, yet passionate, owner. It was finished in the elegant and very rare combination of Rosso Fuoco with a Grigio Silverstone Opaco (matte) roof over a dark grey full Alcantara interior, complete with a heap of Gloss Red Carbon fibre.
Its accompanying warranty book notes that the 599 GTO has been exclusively maintained by its retailing dealer, with the most recent annual service taking place and recording 720miles. It is accompanied by its Ferrari owner’s manual and warranty book. Wearing a particularly striking look, this specific 599 GTO is an especially compelling example of one of Ferrari’s landmark modern classics, exclusively available with AK Collectibles for the first time.
Supplied new to the UK and cherished by a single owner from day one, this Ferrari 599 GTO is an outstanding example of the pinnacle of Ferrari. With only 720 miles from new, it remains in exceptionally preserved condition and displays exactly the kind of provenance that elevates the finest collector-grade Ferraris. As one of just 599 cars produced worldwide, it represents one of the most desirable and limited modern V12 Ferraris; being such a special specification, this car is a rare find.
Finished in Rosso Fuoco, the car carries a depth and richness of colour that perfectly complements its aggressive design, whilst also being a desirable look for the current market. The look is further enhanced by a contrasting Grigio Opaco roof, contrasting well with the richness of the Fuoco paint. This rare combination makes the car immediately stand out, even among other GTOs offered today, highlighting the only owner’s refined and carefully considered specification.
The interior is equally as special; featuring a Tailor Made gloss Red Carbon finish throughout. This is an exceptionally rare option on a 599 GTO generally, and even amongst other modern Ferraris on the market, this car stands out beautifully. The option brightens up the interior, contrasting against the dark grey alcantara throughout.
Offered by AK Collectibles, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a UK-supplied, one-owner 599 GTO with extremely low mileage and a rare, meticulously chosen specification. For collectors seeking a truly standout example, both in provenance and presentation, this GTO represents a superb and highly desirable addition to any prominent Ferrari or modern supercar collection.
Just one caring owner from new and 762 miles on the odometer. This example boasts full service history, with all books and documentation from new including the new vehicle invoice, supplying peace of mind for its future custodian.
