The Ferrari 250 GTO and 288 GTO are probably among the 5 most legendary models in Ferrari’s history. The 250 GTO was the most expensive car for many years, with a price tag of around $10 000 000 CAD. As for the 288 GTO, it has served as the foundation of development for the F40.
So when pre-orders are mentioned for a Ferrari 599 GTO Limited Edition, our temperature starts to rise and rumours begin to spark.
This ultimate version of the Italian GT revisits elements developed under the 599XX programme. The weight of the beast has been decreased by 60 kg, thanks to the extensive use of carbon fibre, while the 6-litre V12 will produce a whopping 700 horsepower!
The return of the prestigious brand makes perfect sense, since the Lamborghini Murcielago is making its comeback with the SV.
There is rumour that the new Ferrari will cost 400 000 USD for each of its 500 models produced. The Ferrari 599 GTO could be making an appearance at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2010.
