The 599 was on our radar for some time. We are happy to have this well optioned example. The mystique of Ferrari is well known and well deserved. Few cars draw more attention on the street than Ferraris. And once you get the opportunity and privilege to drive one you will never be the same.

Sliding into the leather upholstered carbon fiber drivers seat awakens all your senses. Pushing the “Engine Start” button on the steering wheel fills your head with the unmistakable sound of a Ferrari starter. And when the V-12 roars to life you are lost in a fantasy. You are taken back to your boyhood days of playing with cars on the kitchen floor. Making engine sounds and pretending to pull into the lead at the last second as you race in circles.

Then it hits. You aren’t dreaming! You are in the driver’s seat of a front engine V-12 Ferrari 599. And it doesn’t take long to discover the incredible feel of the car on the road. The incredible feel of the power. The incredible feel of the brakes. The incredible feel of the suspension. Are you catching what I’m throwing? This car is incredible.
