Ferarri 599 GTO
The 599 GTO is reserved for just 599 clients who seek the maximum expression of high-performance driving.the GTO's 6.0-liter V-12 is "about 90 percent of the 599XX's engine."
Internal friction was reduced by 12 percent compared to the GTB. Besides adopting the 599XX's crankshaft and intake system, the GTO V-12 has new connecting rods and pistons, raised 11.9:1 compression and the 599XX's lighter (and 8-decibel louder) exhaust—with catalytic converters, of course. The result is 661 bhp at 8250 rpm and 458 lb.-ft. of torque at 6500 rpm, which make the 599 GTO the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever.The 599 GTO can also perform multiple downshifts.

GTO include quicker steering, stiffer springs, a larger rear anti-roll bar and second-generation magnetorheological shock absorbers. But possibly the biggest difference are the 40-mm wider front tires, now up to 285/30ZR-20, versus the rears which have only increased in width by 10 mm, to 315/35ZR-20. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, with a compound developed specifically for the 599 GTO, also do their part.
