Road Testing the sensational Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano......less car, more wild stallion from hell...but it's your passage to heaven.Watch this space for the full road test which ll be posted soon, but Wow this was a first for me. And no, I'm not referring to the fact of road testing the 599, for as a motoring journo specialising in the fast and the furious I am blessed with the privelege of driving and testing high performance cars for a living. No, the 'first' is being unable to find anywhere to apply full throttle without having to lift off!
I have driven (hard) many a supercar, including virtually all of Ferraris' new range, but this 599 is 'The Chosen One', taking the 'Ferrari Experience' to new heights, as one of the truly usable ultimate supercar brands of the breed. There is simply no letting up to the acceleration, it has no limits, and God that noise!! - It screams and barks like a living thing, yet with joy and pain at the same time; as if an animal, giving birth, yet enjoying the process of childbirth. It's almost sadistic. Money can't buy this. Forget the 200K plus price tag; to do this, and in this way, you just have to Know - and this kind of knowing is the unique and exclusive territory of Ferrari.
It's raw, red, emotion....and I'll be back to tell you all about it. Once you are behind the wheel of the 599 life, in fact your whole perspective on it will change. Your new life's mission will be to master the skills to drive it. We do it on road and on film; if you want the full McCoy - join me in a weeks time, and find out why I, who thought I had managed to avoid life's serious vices, am now totally and utterly hooked on this machine.........
