Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE

When opened, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano set a new standard in performance, which remains a reference for the development of new sports cars to date. Now Ferrari is introducing the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HgTe (Gran Turismo Evoluzione manipulation) package for the model to others emphasize its sporty character and handling.


The package contains a modified set-up with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar and new calibration parameters for magnetic dampers, when manettino is sporting its parameters. The ride height is lowered, which lowers the center of the car of gravity. This, combined with the new set-up helps to improve body control. The package also includes tires specifically optimized with a drug that offers a better grip.
Car Electronics has developed to ensure a faster response to driver inputs. F1 transmission changes are now the fastest high-performance settings, when the new software strategy engine has improved accelerator response.

The muffler was also amended with the result that produces a more distinctive and interesting in use while offering the difficult level of perfect comfort at highway speeds.

From a design perspective, the package also contains some decidedly sporty interior and exterior carbon fiber is widely used in the second. 20 "split rim wheels are new with a special cut diamond, silver and matte finish. The rear speaker is finished in matt black to emphasize the car's new creation, and highlighting the chrome exhaust pipes. Cabin is sporty thanks to a sophisticated blend of full-grain leather, black Alcantara ® and carbon fiber trim.

Ferrari 599XX

Ferrari 599XX, although based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, the transverse axis and provide the same type of engine, a race car is great. Ferrari engineers have done significant work in the engine combustion chambers and intake and escape routes. These changes, combined with the fact that the internal wear is reduced and speed increased to 9,000 rpm,


which helps to achieve the target power of 700 hp at 9000 rpm. Special attention was paid also to reduce the weight of the unit of engine components. This was achieved both by optimizing the shapes - and the new crankshaft - and the adoption of exclusive materials such as carbon fiber used by the full admission. A new strategy gearbox cuts shift times by 60 ms overall.

The Ferrari 599XX is characterized by innovative e-called "high-performance dynamic concept", which was designed to maximize the car's performance by managing the combination of the mechanical limits of the car with the potential of its electronic controls.

Mechanical and electronic systems to work together to get the most out of the car under the guidance of high-end performance for consistent lap times. Sporty handling has been improved through the adoption of second generation system SMC suspension. Control of use is also facilitated with the new "virtual automotive engineer," a screen in the car that provides real-time indication of the effectiveness of the vehicle.

2012 Ferrari FF Silver Review

The FF is an interpretation Ferrari-new Grand Tourer Sport concept. It is only the first four-wheeled Ferrari, but, more significantly, greets a major break with the past by combining extreme performance with the ease and versatility of a true GT and a very innovative design.




The Ferrari FF offers innovations everywhere, starting with the fact that it is equipped with the first Ferrari V12 engine, which is the direct-injection V12, with the first seven-speed dual-clutch. The new engine hits 660 hp at 8000 rpm and maximum torque of 683 Nm at 6000 rpm, 500 Nm available at 1,000 rpm. The Ferrari FF has a spectacular performance of a sports car very extreme: 0-100 kmh acceleration in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 335 kilometers per hour. It also provides excellent results in terms of efficiency with a fuel cut only 15.4 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions to 360 g / km, a reduction of 25% over the previous V12. These achievements are due in part to HELE (high-low emission emotions), which also includes Stop & Start system.
Ferrari FF also ensures that the extraordinary performance in a field with very low adhesion coefficients with the Ferrari of his own patented drive 4WD four wheel drive. The couple is still supplied by the rear wheels, but PTU (Power Transfer Unit) to ensure that as much as necessary is also transferred to the front wheels when required on surfaces with low grip. Ferrari FF intelligently distributes torque to all four wheels individually, due to the fact that all the Vehicle Dynamic Control (E-Diff and F1-Trac and PTU) have been integrated into a single processor.

2011 Ferrari 599 GTO

Three years ago, I would’ve told you it would be near impossible to improve upon the 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. After all, the V-12 berlinetta proved quicker to 60 mph than even the vaunted Enzo, taking just 3.2 seconds. But that was before Ferrari invited us to test out the new 2011 599 GTO at Autodromo del Mugello, a 3.3-mile ribbon of undulating asphalt located in a lush green valley not far from Florence, Italy.

In producing the 599 GTO—the fastest-ever Ferrari road car, at least in terms of lap times around Ferrari’s home track (Fiorano)—the engineers in Maranello, Italy, focused on four key areas: increasing power, decreasing weight, reducing understeer and improving downforce. Tall orders, yes, but Ferrari learned great lessons with its track-only 599XX, and the 599 GTO you see here is the result of a marriage between the 599XX and the 599 GTB Fiorano.

Ferrari says 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 (up from the GTB’s 11.2: 1 ratio) 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.

Compare those figures to the GTB (611 bhp at 7600 rpm and 448 lb.-ft. at 5600) and you’ll note the power has moved up the tachometer. In other words, you need to rev the GTO, but this certainly isn’t a problem; as with all Ferraris, the 599 GTO is designed to be wound out high and hard, allowing you to bask in a glorious, hair-raising cacophony that’s accompanied by the most wondrous snap, crackle and pop from its exhaust with each shift. Ferrari says upshifts from the 6-speed single-clutch F1 gearbox have been reduced to just 60 milliseconds and downshifts take just 120 milliseconds. The 599 GTO can also perform multiple downshifts by simply holding in the left carbon-fiber paddle shifter (just as on the 599XX). The downshifts are always perfectly timed, accompanied by soul-stirring throttle blips.

Besides being more powerful, the 599 GTO is 220 lb. lighter than the GTB (which weighed 3865 lb. on our scales). But the GTO is no stripper—the interior remains as fantastic and exotic as ever (a notable change being the exposed aluminum floor) and still retains creature comforts such as air conditioning and power windows—it probably has a stereo, too, but why would you listen to that when you have a wondrous V-12 soundtrack?

Nearly every area of the car was put on the chopping block in an effort to shave pounds. The transmission is 18 lb. lighter, and the exhaust has been trimmed of 29 lb. thanks to hydroforming technology that allows thinner tubing and fewer welds. Brembo also managed to take almost 7 lb. out of its carbon-ceramic brake system, adding ceramic pads for the first time on a road car. Ferrari says these brakes were absolutely required to cope with the 599 GTO’s increased performance level.

Items such as thinner windows, an aluminum trunklid and a lighter aero underbody contributed to a further 68 lb. savings, while the interior is some 73 lb. lighter due to highly bolstered, carbon-fiber-backed seats with grippy (but very un-Ferrari-like) fabric inserts, lots of matte-finish carbon-fiber trim and a lightweight suede material in place of what would usually be leather.

2010 Hamann Sports Cars Ferrari California F149

World premiere at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show - the HAMANN tuning programme for the Ferrari California F149. HAMANN unveiled the 2010 HAMANN Ferrari California program at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. The HAMANN Ferrari California is powered by a standard 4.3 liter V8 engine that develops 460 hp which 20% more than standard. The extra horses of the HAMANN Ferrari California comes from a re-programmed ECU and a new sport exhaust system.
2010 Hamann Sports Cars Ferrari California F149
The aerodynamics package of the HAMANN Ferrari California F149 includes a carbon fiber bonnet, a new front spoiler, new side skirts, a rear spoiler and a small rear wing. The rear of the HAMANN Ferrari California is completed with a new diffuser.
Refining super sports cars is more than just business for the company HAMANN Motorsport. Their passion for detail, for something special and unique is the main incentive for extraordinary modifications. The latest stroke of genius once again confirms this. The HAMANN interpretation of the Ferrari California F149 with its exclusive and extensive refining programme does not only make the hearts of real Ferrari fans beat faster.
Most of all, the car body kit proves that HAMANN does not only focus on changing the visual appearance. Apart from design elements such as a bonnet made of carbon fibre, specific modifications at the front, sides and back boost the aerodynamics. Thereby, the front spoiler reduces the lifting forces of the California which significantly improves the handling and agility. Moreover, the unobtrusive side skirt set calms the airflow between both axles.
And moreover, a back spoiler increases the contact pressure. Here, the HAMANN engineers agreed on a small wing profile which considerably enhances the car body design. As the combination with the perfectly integrated and three-part rear diffuser renders enough grip for the road. Mainly on country roads with many curves, the HAMANN aerodynamics kit unravels its power and generates pure driving pleasure.
The extra agility and handling gives room for more performance. Also here, HAMANN-Motorsport contributes its know-how. An adjustment for the motor management is in preparation and a sport exhaust system will also be especially engineered for this sports car. This combination will advance the performance of the serial 4.3 litre V8 engine with 460 hp by up 20 percent.
Another technical highlight in the offered tuning programme is the multi-part HAMANN aluminium wheel called EDITION RACE. The black varnished rim star and the titanium bolting of the high-gloss polished rim flange emphasise the racing character. As the wheel is produced in forged technology, it is extremely light.
This reduces the unsprung masses which noticeably improves both the acceleration and the braking response. The recommended wheel-tyre combination measures 9.0Jx21 inches with 245/30ZR21 tyres for the front and 12.5Jx21 rims with wheels measuring 345/25ZR21 are fitted at the back. The wheel-tyre combination is perfectly enhanced by the suspension which is used in order to lower the sports car.
Also in the interior, HAMANN has a lot to offer to its customers. In addition to the serially offered interior, HAMANN Motorsport offers an extensive programme, ranging from personalised floor mats to a perfectly finished complete leather interior.
