Welcome back!!. Last time we talked about the first car I ever drove, but today I'm going back to sport cars. Here it is 599XX have fun!
While based on the 599 GTB Fiorano ,with the same trans axle layout and engine type, this prototype is an extreme track car. It is , exclusively built for use on race tracks, apart from official
motorsport competitions, is the synthesis of the most innovative
technology. What's new? Internal attrition has been reduced and the maximum revs have been boosted, Particular attention was paid to cutting the weight of the engine unit components and adopting exclusive materials, as in the carbon-fiber used for the intake plenums.The 599XX's aerodynamics were honed in numerous Wind Tunnel test
sessions with the result that the car now boasts 280 kg of down-force at
200 km/h (630 kg at 300 km/h). The front underside of the body is
completely fired-in and the vents that channel hot air from the engine
bay have been moved to the bonnet. The 599XX is characterized by an innovative electronic concept called the 'High Performance Dynamic Concept', The mechanical and electronic systems work together to get the maximum
performance from the car under extreme high performance driving, for
consistent lap times.
In terms of the bodywork, composites and carbon-fiber have been widely used and the engineers drew on their experience in working with aluminum to reach the weight target. The 599XX comes with slick tyres (29/67 R19 front and 31/71 R19 rear), specifically developed to maximize stability in cornering and increase lateral acceleration. They are fitted to 19 x 11J wheel rims at the front and 19 x 12J at the rear. Lets look at some Specifications

"Ferrari is the latest manufacturer to claim a lap record on the famed Nurburgring, with the race-ready 599XX. Test driver Raffaele De Simone
destroyed the German track in just 6 minutes, 58 seconds".
hope ho guys enjoyed, see ya all tomorrow. bye.
