Commissioned new by Lewis Hamilton
“Immediately you’re aware that the car is set up right on the edge of what’s acceptable in something road-legal: with the tyres warm, I trailed the throttle a little mid-corner to see what the effect would be, and the car snapped straight into oversteer. This, by the way, is cause for celebration. You have to drive the GTO properly: stop, steer, gas…” – highly experienced road-tester Chris Harris tries the 599 GTO for Evo magazine in June 2010
The first ‘XX’ Ferrari was the Enzo-based FXX of 2005. The cars were sold to the company’s preferred customers for track days run by Ferrari Corse Clienti. For owners, it was the ultimate interaction with the legendary Scuderia, a chance to meet the team’s F1 drivers, engineers and technicians. For Ferrari, it was a way of learning how skilled, but non-professional drivers coped with massively powerful sports cars, all within the confines of a safe modern racing circuit.
