Just been having a look at my neighbours new 599 GTO. Absolutely stunning!
I've always been a fan of the 599, but the GTO is something else...
No pics yet as i left my camera at my mates last night and my crappy phone doesn't have bluetooth.
Hopefully get some tomorrow.
For the mean time...
5,999cc V12, 6-speed robotised manual gearbox. Rear-wheel drive
PRICE/ON SALE £299,300/now, but sold out – wait for used ones to appear
POWER/TORQUE 661bhp/457lb ft
TOP SPEED 208mph
ACCELERATION 0-62mph in 3.35sec
FUEL ECONOMY 16.1mpg (Combined)

Yeah, 16.1mpg is quite impressive for what it is, but i very much doubt any GTO owners get results like that.

Too right he is. The GTO sits along side the 458 he got last month.
Lucky, lucky bugger!
