So you still think the hottest street-legal Ferrari of them all is the Enzo? Listen up—we have an update. There’s a new champ in Maranello. It’s not as outrageous as the Enzo, but it’s more powerful, more sophisticated, more agile, and even faster. Ferrari calls it “the most extreme sports car” it has ever produced. At a company where fabulous is the starting point for pretty much every new project, that’s saying something.

Ferrari’s challenge (besides, you know, actually engineering the car) was in choosing a name for the beast, which is based on the 599GTB Fiorano. There isn’t much to set the new car apart visually from the GTB, just additional aero elements at the front, aggressive rear air diffusers, and other various airflow management touches that add up to double the high-speed downforce of the “regular” 599.

The corporate brain trust looked down the corridor of Ferrari immortals and came across the 1962–64 GTO, and resurrecting the name just made sense. (Less influence came from the mid-engine, twin-turbo V-8 GTO of 1984, which was based on the 308.) And the 599GTO was born.
