Ferrari 599 Spyder Test Mule

[/caption] News of an open-roof 599 first surfaced only a week ago. Now we have a few images of a couple different test mules for the new Ferrari as they leave the company’s factory and run around town. Many are speculating whether the new model will sport a similar flip-top roof like its predecessor the 575 Superamerica. With the flying buttresses still in place, however, it appears the 599 Spyder will simply have a removable top much like the Koenigsegg and Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Ferrari will debut the new model in two months at…

Excerpt: Ferrari 599 GTO Presentation, Italian Military Academy 250, 288 and now 599. Ferrari has resurrected the famed GTO moniker (Gran Turismo Omologato). Based on the 599XX racing platform, Maranello’s newest creation is their fastest road car ever. Yes, faster than an Enzo. As you can imagine, production will be limited and word is that all 599 vehicles have already been sold. The letters GTO have always been synonymous with cost and rarity, and though it may set you back nearly $460,000 (before markup), the limited run of 599 seems awfully abundant when compared to the 288 GTO’s run of…

Excerpt: Delahaye USA Bugnotti Coupe Without argument, Delahaye is responsible for some of the world’s most beautiful automobiles. Despite being founded in 1894, it wasn’t until the mid-1930s when they branched out from building engines and trucks to build their first in-house car. 1935 brought the highly successful Coupé des Alpes and a foray into racing. After a number of successful models, the company struggled during the Nazi occupation of France and the high taxes on French luxury cars that remained after World War II. Delahaye was taken over by Hotchkiss in 1954, who shut down car production and…
