Looking to impress your friends? Drive the fastest street legal car on earth
If you’re looking for a ride to impress, the new 599 GTO Ferrari is the way to go. Hailed by its maker as the fastest street legal Ferrari ever made, it was unveiled just weeks ago at the Beijing Auto Show and has been fueling a high-speed buzz ever since.
The new 599 GTO features an upgraded transmission with a 6.0-liter V12 creating 670-horsepower. This model also is more aerodynamic and lighter weight and has run a record lap of 1 minute 24 seconds at Ferrari’s test track in Fiorano. Staff at the Ferrari dealership New Jersey are confident this will bring in buyers for a look.
Engineers at Ferrari made it a priority to reduce the car’s weight, some of which was achieved by using thinner glass, thinner aluminum panels, a lighter-weight carbon ceramic brake set-up and a lighter transmission and exhaust. Sounds like exhausting work for those engineers, but they pulled it off!
The new engine modifications focus on friction reducing components and a redesigned crankshaft. To get quicker acceleration, a reprogrammed six-speed F1 transmission has 60 ms shift times and is able to downshift several gears at once.
Customers of any Ferrari dealership New Jersey will be thrilled with the stiffer read springs and the rear anti-roll bar. Ferrari also promises tighter steering with the new 599 GTO. Ducting around the wheels has been improved for reduced drag and a redesigned front lip provides more downforce on the front axle.
The aerodynamics Ferrari promises have been streamlined are aided by new side skirts which direct the airflow beneath the car’s body and a sharp racing-style rear diffuser. So we have fast, smooth, flashy and the Ferrari name: the sum total of the dream car. Oh, and it’s street legal!
