About 599 and its tires. They're the latest PZero from Pirellli, without a definitve name...

Tomorrow scans, now I'm tired...



:faint:

I love how Ferrari under-stats it's cars so often ... 0-62mph in this test is just under 3.5 :)

I'm guessing a lot of those numbers are directly related to the tires, and since they're 'the latest' and don't even have a name yet, I doubt you can buy the car with them yet.

As for Top Gear tests, the fact that they don't are the same day in the same conditions can change the result, I don't imagine that the 599 GTB is really faster than a CGT or an Enzo ...

cant wait the scans, thanks ;) will be refreshing this page a lot ;)

wow, impressive!

Isnt this the same magazine that a little under a month ago could hardly crack 10 seconds to 100mph in a 997 Turbo? Those times are ridiculous to say the least. Supercars do 100 mph in the 6's not GT cars. :roll:

Well it's a GT car powered by a supercar engine :P :lol:

So is an SL65 :lol:

Here are the scans from Mafalda.

What supercar runs the SL65's engine?

Based on what Ive read from most magazines, the 599 is hardly a GT car.

it's called GTB..

I put it up in what I call the 'Super Touring' class alongside cars like the SLR.

You get what I'm saying. I could have said the new RS4 has a supercar engine or the M5 has a supercar engine - doesnt mean the manufacturer has put it in its right home. I should have said an SL55 (vague resemblence to the SLR engine) but I wanted to prove a point, the SL65 has a monsterous of an engine just like the 599. I just cant believe that a magazine that find a 997 Turbo to be shitloads slower than the factory claims (even slower than a 997S) can find a 599 to be so much quicker. I know which would be easier to launch. :|

Haha I was actually asking if there was a car out there running it, not making some retort :P

And yea, the magazine's results are definitely suspect, for pretty much every car listed.

I agree, but I think its because of the tires :roll:

Accelleration
0-60 Kph 1.8s

woooww that is faster than an Ariel Atom ! Good Job Ferrari! :wink:

I don't ever recall any comparisons being done in magazines or television shows where they put the same tires on each car.
You realize that's only 37mph, right?

i thnk he is merely commenting on how such a huge car gets such a good time from a dead stop in relation to such a small, light car.

620hp/448lb-ft to 125hp/122lb-ft...

Oh , ups, now why did I read 60 Mph instead of Kph, sorry for the mistake :oops:

The brakes are impressive!! :shock:


200-0 km/h in only 135.8 meters!

0-100 in 3.4 secs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :o

Impressive car in every way :shock:

It's afterall an "Enzo Engine Inside"

True, thats an amazing car aswell :wink:

Surely is, the Carrera GT isn't that far away with a 200km/h-0 time of 133.9 metres. However if you think that's impressive, the Zonda F pulls up in 122.2 metres!!!
