Ferrari has confirmed that they will use the upcoming Geneva Motor Show to officially debut two of their newest cars: the 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE and the 599XX. The one we know more about is the 599 HGTE, which stands for “Handling GT Evoluzione”, because this handling package has previously been bestowed on other Ferraris like the 612 Scaglietti and the 575M. Comparable to sport packages offered on lower end cars like the Audi “S” line, the Fiorano HGTE will feature bigger wheels, revised aerodynamics, stiffer suspension, carbon fiber trim pieces in the interior, and a redesigned exhaust system. Based on the previous Ferrari handling packages, most enthusiasts are agreeing that there will be no additional power increase. To justify the 30,000 premium over a regular Ferrari 599 GT Fiorano, owners should be expecting upgrades similar to the F430 Scuderia!
The other car they are showing off, the 599XX, is much more exclusive even w hen compared to other Ferraris. It’s going to be sold on a per-invite basis similar to the Ferrari Enzo and FXX. They have been tight lipped about the stats on the XX but we know that it will be a testbed for new Ferrari technologies, complete with a team of engineers charged with the task of furthering supercar technology based off the XX’s results.
Joining these two cars will be a F430 Scuderia, a F430 Scuderia Spider, a 612 Scaglietti, and the all new Ferrari California. Although they have not said anything about it yet, fans are hoping that they will also reveal more about the F450 (which was recently seen road testing) at Geneva. It’s not a typo, that’s the car that will be replacing the F430 sometime in the future. Obviously, it will be powered by a 4.5 liter V8 engine, but what is interesting is that Ferrari has announced that they will be working on technologies that will enhance its fuel mileage; I think this is the first time I’ve heard Ferrari talk about their fuel mileage!
We’re excited to hear about the 599XX and possibly the F450, so we’ll be sure to have the latest on it as more information is released on March 3rd.
