The name ”GTO” has been designated to only 3 cars in Ferrari’s history, the 250 GTO, the 288 GTO and finally the 599 GTO. The ”GTO” badge symbolises more than just initials, ‘Gran Turismo Omologata’ which translates to ‘High Performance Homologation’, and is recognised for its presence across various GT racing events throughout the 60’s, where the 250 GTO was etching its reputation in motor racing history.

The 599 GTO is the first of its kind. No other V12 Ferrari road car prior to this had utilized the benefits of weight saving or aerodynamics in such an extreme manner. The GTO weighs 100kg less than the standard 599 GTB and had significant design revisions to enhance aerodynamics and cooling. The GTO was also equipped with improved carbon ceramic brakes which were supported by ducting to cool both them and the brake pads, along with wheel doughnuts which were positioned outside the brake disc to ensure that hot air exiting the wheel arches stays as close to the body of the car as possible to reduce drag. Further upgrades to the GTO included the final version of the F1 Superfast transmission, an increase of power to 660 bhp and a revised exhaust system for significantly enhanced acoustics.
