The 550 - 575 maranello is a great looking car with great proportions but this new 599 is just gorgeous and it suddenly makes its predecessor look blunt.

'Here's the ultimate front-engined supercar, a car that makes a Mercedes SLR McLaren feel aloof and clumsy. Quicker than an F40 yet a hundredth as frightening, the 599 GTB is a towering achievement, a new benchmark and the fastest-accelerating car we have ever driven on the road.'

I can't understand how 4Car has managed to be one of (if not) the first (in the UK) to get a review out of it.

Perhaps the motoring magazines are just having to wait for their next issue.

0 - 100 km/h in 3,7 sec! Amazing, for a car with this weight. You must admit it is a heavy car for this kinda type, but still so amazing fast!

I think this would be a great gran turismo, to drive long distances in it...

Yeh i agree, it's not the best, I couldn't even be bothered to read it all to be honest!

Alternative drives: Porsche 911 Turbo???? As if!

I'll thank you for the link, but goddamn the author is an idiot.

Some people just aren't meant to be automotive journalists.... :roll:
