Italian car god Ferrari has unleashed smokin' hot pictures of the new 599 GTO – a supercar that’s claimed to be Prancing Horse's fastest road car ever. To back up this ambitious claim, Ferrari has announced that its sexy V12-powered berlinetta – based on the 599XX track car – will be capable of hitting a top speed of 208.2mph and will sprint from 0-62mph in a far from tortoise-esque 3.35 seconds. Be still our beating hearts! This rather exciting news also means the legendary Enzo supercar is no longer the fastest Ferrari of all time – which we're kind of relieved to hear, because there are only so many times you can write about it being the speediest Prancing Horse before you want to smash your head against the desk. Not that six years was a long time to wait for a faster Ferrari to come along. Not. At. All… So how did Ferrari achieve this remarkable feat? The answer lies in its innovative work on the 599 GTO's chassis that "saw the integration between a handling set-up tuned for a level of responsiveness that is close to the limit and highly sophisticated electronic controls". Add a few aerodynamic modifications, such as the wheel doughnuts which increase aerodynamic efficiency, as well as improve brake cooling, and hey presto – you've got the world's fastest Ferrari production car. Our verdict on Ferrari's latest creation? Let's just say we wouldn't chuck it out of our garage for backfiring. To fully comprehend why it is virtually impossible to exaggerate the brilliance of the 599 GTO, please spend time looking at the gallery below. Don't thank us, thank Ferrari.
