The 599 GTB Fiorano replaced the 575M Maranello in 2006 and was unveiled in February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. The name stands for its displacement of 5999 cm³, Gran Turismo Berlinetta, and the Fiorano test track. Jason Castriota penned the design at Pininfarina, and the aluminum chassis was all-new. The V12 was derived from the Enzo, but tuned to 620 PS, making the 599 the second-most powerful Ferrari at the time of its debut.

Engine
The 5999 cm³ Tipo F140 C V12 delivers 620 PS between 7600 and 8400 rpm. Its peak torque of 608 Nm at 5600 rpm set a new benchmark for Ferrari's GT models. Most revisions compared to the Enzo engine were made to fit it into the engine bay, as the original configuration was too tall and would have obstructed forward visibility due to its mid-engine architecture.
Transmission
The "F1 SuperFast" automated transmission shifts in 100 milliseconds, reduced to 85 with the HGTE package. The F1-Trac traction control system debuted in the 599. The vast majority of cars were specified with the automated gearbox; with only 30 manual examples built, Ferrari phased out manual transmissions on future GT models.
Chassis and aerodynamics
For the first time on a Ferrari GT, the 599 utilized an aluminum chassis instead of a tubular steel spaceframe. It was stiffer and contributed to a dry weight of 1690 kg. The wheelbase grew, and the fuel tank was moved to the rear to improve weight distribution, yielding a power-to-weight ratio of 367 PS per ton. Underbody spoilers and Venturi tunnels generate downforce, with the bodywork manufactured by supplier Fontana.
