The 599 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) is the road-legal version of the 599XX race car and was presented in April 2010. Ferrari called it its fastest road car at the time: it completed a lap of Fiorano in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Enzo. The engine produces 670 PS; at 1605 kg, the car weighs nearly 100 kg less than the standard GTB. Unlike earlier GTO models, it was not homologated for a racing series.

Technology
The V12 produces 670 PS at 8250/min and 620 Nm at 6500/min. Sourced from the 599XX are the automated F1 six-speed transmission with shift times of just 60 milliseconds and the exhaust system. The adaptive suspension features stiffer anti-roll bars and shorter springs, and is electronically integrated with the vehicle dynamics systems. According to Ferrari, the car accelerates to 62 mph in under 3.3 seconds.
Body
Striking is the heavily vented bodywork, which differs from the GTB primarily through additional air outlets. New front spoilers and a new rear diffuser provide increased downforce. Around the wheel arches and on the hood, the openings are designed to effectively dissipate heat from the brakes and engine.
