Entertainment value high, the prancing horse brand introduced two new variations on the 599 GTB Fiorano theme in Geneva, the first being the 599 HGTE, short for Handling GT Evoluzione.
Yes, most would think the regular 599 would handle fairly well as it is, but the Handling GTE Package will make the car that much better according to Ferrari’s press release.
The second car in the Geneva introduction is the much anticipated 599XX, what Ferrari refers to as its rolling “laboratorio tecnologico.” Created for “a select group of clients,” this technological laboratory “incorporates the most advanced technologies resulting from Ferrari’s road-going and F1 research.
Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo introduced the two cars, next to a full lineup of models available for Geneva show-goers to enjoy. The upcoming F430 replacement, the F450, should be revealed later this year. Expect the 500-plus horsepower mid-engine exotic to appear in Frankfurt.
Also at the Ferrari stand is a Scuderia Spider 16M painted in Grigio Titanio, the 430 Scuderia in Rosso Corsa, a Ferrari California in Nero Metallizzato with a Sabbia interior and a 612 Scaglietti.
