The car
As part of its Private Sales initiative, Petrolicious is proud to offer a unique “driver” Ferrari. The Ferrari 599 GTO, represented the epitome of front-mounted V12 Ferraris from the early 2000’s. Launched in 2011, it marked only the 3rd time a prancing-horse car wore the badge “GTO”. The car features a 6.0L, 661-horsepower V12 engine (which stems directly from the almighty Enzo) and a 6-speed automatic “F1” Transmission.
This car, born in stunning Rosso Formula 1 2007 and Grigio Silverstone Opaco, benefits from a full front PPF treatment (bumper, hood, lip and fenders), black wheels and black interior with Daytona-style seats.
Notable options include Rear Bag Shelf in Leather, Red Brake Calipers, Boot Compartment in Carbon Fiber, Carbon Fiber Front Lip, Leather Upholstery, and more. Original MSRP of the car was $492,878 USD. Readers should note that the car is equipped with a non-original radio unit. The original unit is not accompanied with the car.
