Chassis No. ZFF70RDT3B0176942 The 599 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) is only the third Ferrari to carry Maranello’s most revered designation, following the 250 GTO and 288 GTO. Born from Ferrari's experimental 599XX track program, this road-legal evolution transformed cutting-edge circuit knowledge into a strictly limited production run of just 599 examples worldwide. Under its aggressively louvered hood rested the 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 derived from the Enzo, tuned to deliver 670 CV. This tremendous output was channeled through a six-speed F1-derived automated transmission capable of 60-millisecond shifts—almost twice as quick as in the standard 599 GTB Fiorano. Thanks to nearly 100 kg in weight savings over the Fiorano, it accelerated from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds on the way to a top speed exceeding 335 km/h. Advanced magnetorheological suspension and massive carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, bolstered by 144 kg of downforce from the fine-tuned aerodynamics, allowed the 599 GTO to famously lap Ferrari’s Fiorano test circuit a full second faster than the Enzo. Yet perhaps more surprising than its performance was its approachability as a road car. Car and Driver praised the GTO’s “wonderfully precise damping as well as astonishingly comfortable ride quality on public roads,” adding, “the GTO will take care of its driver to the extent the driver finds comfortable, but its soul is omnipresent.” In Ferrari’s own words it was their “most extreme sports car” ever produced, blending track-honed speed with the refinement expected of the marque’s world-class grand tourers. Completed in October 2010 as a “Gulf version,” the car offered here, chassis 176942, presents in the model’s striking launch livery. Its Rosso Corsa (Red) bodywork is dramatically set off by a Grigio Silverstone Opaco (Grey) finish applied to the roof, C-pillars, and side sills—an arresting, technical contrast that accentuates the GTO’s wind-tunnel-sculpted lines. Giallo Modena (Yellow) calipers frame the carbon-ceramic rotors behind factory 20-inch dark-finished Challenge wheels, neatly matching the inlaid Scuderia Ferrari shields on the front wings. Further exterior highlights include the desirable carbon-fiber headlight buckets. In contrast to the more commonly specified Tessuto cloth interiors seen on many GTOs, this example was ordered with a more luxurious Nero (Black) leather and Alcantara cockpit. The fully electric Recaro seats feature Daytona-style inserts in Nero Alcantara, Rosso seatbelts, and matching Rosso contrast stitching. Additional carbon-fiber trim includes lateral dashboard accents and carbon-fiber door and trunk sills. Practical amenities including iPod connectivity, satellite navigation, front and rear parking sensors, a Bose Hi-Fi system, and a fire extinguisher indicate the first owner’s embrace of the GTO’s grand-touring usability. According to the original warranty and service booklet, the GTO was delivered new on 29 December 2010 through Kuwait Automobile & Trading Co. to its first owner, Mr. Fawaz Al-Hasawi—a prominent Kuwaiti businessman and former owner of Nottingham Forest Football Club—who maintained residence in Yarmouk, Kuwait. The supplying dealer recorded early maintenance with service stamps in March 2012 at 755 km and again in February 2013 at 1,011 km. The Ferrari subsequently departed the Middle East in the mid-2010s based on stamps from Ferrari Francorchamps Motors Luxembourg in July 2017 (1,777 km) and October 2018 (2,013 km). Invoices on file show that the GTO returned to Francorchamps Luxembourg on two further occasions, receiving an annual service in August 2020 and an oil-and-filter change in February 2022. Now displaying a mere 2,766 kilometers from new, this collector-grade 599 GTO is accompanied by its Ferrari Classiche "Red Book," attesting that it retains its original engine and transmission and that its major mechanical components correspond to factory records. The sale includes the complete complement of owner's manuals housed within their "GTO" branded folio, along with a spare key, and Ferrari-branded battery tender. The car is also accompanied by a Ferrari Technical Certificate stating that the car meets European Type Approval, enabling it to be sold and registered in the EU. As a model, the 599 GTO remains a turning point for Ferrari’s front-engine V12 evolution, representing a revival of the marque’s dual-purpose formula that defined the legendary machines of the 1950s and 1960s, and paving the way for future front-engine V12, track-focused models like the F12tdf and 812 Competizione. With its impeccable presentation and low mileage, this Ferrari 599 GTO represents one of the finest and most collectible examples of its type. It is not only one of the most thrilling and exclusive Ferraris of the modern era, but also a superbly preserved example complete with Classiche certification. This 599 GTO would stand out in any collection, encapsulating the very best of Ferrari’s dual-purpose engineering philosophy and the GTO legacy.
