This Ferrari 599 GTO was supplied new via HR Owen London to a Mr. Douglas in October 2010, optioned in Bianco Avus with Blu Tour de France racing livery over a Nero interior.
This 599 GTO is accompanied by a comprehensive full main dealer service history, both keys, original service book, handbooks, document wallet, Classiche Certification with red book, and Ferrari car cover. This presents a timely opportunity to own what is arguably one of the most collectible and exciting cars from Ferrari’s lightweight special series, limited to just 599 units worldwide and a mere 60 U.K. supplied cars.
The name ''GTO'' has been designated to only 3 cars in Ferrari history, the 1962 250 GTO, the 1984 288 GTO and finally their most recent of the trio, the 599 GTO. The ''GTO'' badge symbolises more than just initials, 'Gran Turismo Omologata' which translates to 'High Performance Homologation' is recognised for its presence across various GT racing events throughout the 60's while the 250 GTO was making its mark within motoring history.
Today the GTO badge represents not only an historic and reputable league of race cars but a road car with track focused qualities. Effectively the GTO is the first of its kind, no other V12 Ferrari road car prior to this one had utilized the benefits of weight saving or aerodynamics so extremely. The GTO weighs 100kg less than the standard car and had design revisions including the front, sides, the flat underbody and the cooling flows.
Traxx’s old car. Lovely
