Ferrari 599XX (Foundation Range) in Matt Grey (1:18 scale)
- While based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, this prototype is an extreme track car. Ferrari’s engineers carried out extensive engine work on the combustion chambers & inlet & exhaust tracts. All these changes, combined with the fact that internal attrition has been reduced & maximum revs have been boosted to 9, 000 rpm, lead to a target power output of 700 hp at 9000 rpm.
Moreover, the 599XX is characterized by an innovative electronic concept called the “ High Performance Dynamic Concept” designed for maximum performance by managing the combination of the car’s mechanical limits with the potential of its electronic controls. At the same time, composites & carbon-fibre have been widely used in the body, the engineers drawing on their experience with aluminum to reach the weight target.
Ferrari says the 599XX features a >plethora of aerodynamic, electronic control & handling innovations used together for the first time on a single car, making this model a genuine technological laboratory.> Only 20 or 30 examples of the 599XX were offered to a very selected clientele, & participation in the program (which
Includes:: the car) runs over a million Euros (close to 2 million dollars). A limited edition model (up to 5, 000 pieces) for a limited series car!
