Among the wide variety of nomenclature Ferrari has used for its road-going models, arguably none are more prestigious than the "Gran Turismo Omologato" nameplate. Prior to 2010, only two road cars had the privilege of wearing the badge: the 250 GTO of 1962 and 288 GTO of 1984. Both models were produced to meet stringent homologation regulations at the time of their respective production. The nameplate was exclusively reserved for the marque's most sublime, performance-oriented models, which have become some of Ferrari's most sought-after creations. In April of 2010, the 599 GTO resurrected the closely guarded nameplate.

Even though the 599 GTO was not truly a homologation model, it was developed directly from the 599XX prototype for use on the road. As such, the car benefitted from cutting-edge F1 engineering and technology. Numerous aerodynamic and cooling enhancements were made to increase downforce, including revised front and rear diffusers and a redesigned rear spoiler. Chassis characteristics such as the F1-Trac traction control were used to reduce understeer and maximize responsiveness.

At its heart, Ferrari placed a raw, naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine, producing an astonishing 670 horsepower at 8,250 rpm. This was coupled with a significantly updated six-speed automated manual transaxle that executed shifts in just 60 milliseconds-40 milliseconds less than the 599 GTB. The pairing launched the GTO from 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds, making it Ferrari's fastest road car at the time. Designated as its most extreme sports car, Ferrari even admitted that it could lap the company's Fiorano test track a full second faster than the Enzo supercar.

Production was limited to just 599 units worldwide, with this particular example being one of approximately 60 right-hand-drive cars delivered new to the U.K. Supplied in October 2010 by Graypaul Ferrari Nottingham, it is finished in Nuovo Rosso F1 2007 over a Nero Alcantara interior, complemented by Rosso 3D Tessuto fabric accents.

Additional factory options include Grigio Silverstone Opaco Painted Roof, Alcantara Headliner, Full Electric Seats, Rosso Coloured Safety Belts, Roll Bar, Rear Parking Sensors, Carbon Fibre Dash Inserts, Carbon Fibre Exterior Sill Plate, Carbon Fibre Headlight Tub and Carbon Fibre Under-Door Trim.

The car presents superbly and is showing just 7,500 miles from new. It has been with its current owner since 2017 and has been very well cared for over the years, most recently serviced in April 2025 where HR Owen Ferrari carried out an annual service and fresh MOT.

The 599 GTO is as versatile as it is desirable, able to hold its own on any circuit, whilst equally capable of whisking two occupants and their luggage over great distances with ease. Fast becoming a modern-day collectible, this superb, low-mileage, RHD example would be a fine addition to any Ferrari collection. Contact us now for more information or to arrange a viewing.
