The Ferrari 599 GTO

This is looking like it's Ferrari's fastest road car ever.

The 6.0-liter V-12 engine was upgraded to pump out 670 horsepower. There is a number of weight saving elements tot he car, giving it a curb weight of 3,296 pounds. The engine and weight combine to rocket the car from 0-62 mph in just 3.35 seconds, with an overall top speed in excess of 208 mph.

No idea on the price, but since there will be only 599 of them made, I'm sure it's well out of the range of most everyone.

You can read an extensive article about the car over at Motor Authority HERE.
