Ferrari has unveiled its latest supercar, the Ferrari 599 GTB which will succeed the Maranello. This supercar is the most powerful V12 engine it has offered in a production car. Not just that - it actually is the most powerful engine ever in any production car produced on planet Earth!The 599 GTB is a mid-front engined two-seater coup�ith a massive 5,999cc V12 engine borrowed from the Enzo Ferrari supercar. This beast produces 620hp at 7,600 rpm. More shocking of all is the power-weight ratio, an astounding 2.6 kg per horsepower. Torque figures are unavailable at present. The Ferrari 599 GTB features an all-aluminium chassis and body. The 599 GTB will have a manual gear shift option, as well as the F1 paddle-shift. The car would have an option of 19 inch wheels in front and 20 inch ones at the back, or 20 inchers all around. Ferrari said that the 599 GTB follows in a long line of classics such as the 250 GT, the 275 GTB, and the 365 GTB4. The 575M Marannello will move out of the way, and the 599 GTB will take its place in Ferrari's model lineup. Classic Driver magazine said that "the Pininfarina design is a meld of 612, Enzo and F430 and gives the Ferrari 599 GTB aggressive yet elegant lines." The official unveiling of the ferrari 599 GTB will take place on 28th February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show.For those of us - and that's almost all of us - who will never own the 599 GTB or any other Ferrari, we present the first official photos available in our photo gallery. Yeah, we like to rub it in, don't we?
