2008 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (HGTE)

The Ferrari 599 took over from its predecessor, the 575, in the summer of 2006 and brought the front-engined V12 Grand Tourer into the modern age. Whereas the 550 and 575, even at their introduction, always felt like modern classics, the 599 was every inch a new-age Ferrari. The all-aluminium chassis, F1 SuperFast gearbox, F1-Trac stability and traction control, magnetic semi-active dampers and carbon-ceramic brakes all wrapped in aggressive, aero-optimised bodywork with minimal overhangs and maximum presence. Top billing, though, went to the engine - a lightly modified version of the Enzo's 6-litre V12 with a mighty 611bhp at 7600rpm, endowing Ferrari's new series-production flagship with truly sensational performance with 0-62 in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 205mph.

The Handling Turismo Evoluzione (HGTE) package was designed to deliver a more dynamic driving experience. The technical modifications included a modified set up with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar as well as new calibration settings for the magnetorheological shock absorbers and most notably yellow brake callipers. 

A letter from Ferrari, dated July 2016, within the car's history file, confirms that this 599 GTB (ZFFFD60C000164311) was built in right-hand drive at Maranello during September 2008 prior to being shipped to Hong She Motors Pte. in Singapore where it was registered SKX 1223K on 10th March 2009. It was imported to the UK in September 2016 by noted trader Michael Wise and sold via Foskers to our vendor who has owned it since.

Within the file is a Foskers service invoice dated September 2019 and a further invoice from them in August 2021 detailing a 20,000 mile service with wheels refurbished, two new shock absorbers and new front tyres, totalling £7,502. Also within the file is a stamped service book from Singapore, all the import documents as well as its UK service records and its UK V5C. We understand the car is fitted with an H&P Raptor tracker and the spare key is present.
