Already acclaimed by many as the greatest super car of all time, thanks to its effortless performance and remarkable range of abilities, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano has just got better with the launch of the Ferrari 599 HGTE which further extends and hones this unique supercar’s astonishing performance.

The HGTE package includes modified suspension with stiffer springs and rear anti-roll bar as well as new calibration settings for the magnetorheological shock absorbers when the Manettino – Ferrari’s unique selectable suspension and drivetrain system - is at its most aggressive settings. The ride height has also been lowered which in turn lowers the car's centre of gravity. This combined with the new set-up helps improve body control. The package also includes specifically optimised tyres featuring a compound that offers even better grip.

The car's electronics have also evolved to ensure even more prompt response to driver commands. The F1 gearbox's shifts are now even faster in high-performance settings, while a new engine software strategy has improved accelerator response.

The exhaust silencer has also been modified with the result producing an even more marked and thrilling sound under hard usage whilst still delivering just the right comfort levels at cruising speed.

From a styling point of view, the package also includes some distinctively sporty exterior and interior features with carbon-fibre widely used in the latter.  

The 20" split-rim wheels are new with a special diamond-cut and matte silver finish. The rear diffuser is finished in matte black to underscore the car's new set-up and highlight the chromed tail pipes. The cabin is sportier too thanks to a sophisticated mix of full-grain leather, black Alcantara® and carbon-fibre trim. 

The new seats are trimmed in a new two-tone combination of leather with black Alcantara® inserts, and the seat backs are trimmed entirely in carbon-fibre. Embroidered in contrasting stitching on the headrest are a Prancing Horse and the words "Handling GTE". 

Powered by a 6.0 litre 456 kW V12 engine, the Ferrari 599 HGTE will thunder to 100 kmh in just 3.7 seconds and, where the law permits, pass 200 kmh in 11.0 seconds en route to a top speed of 330 kmh. With 608 Nm of torque, the 599 HGTE has effortless performance in each of its six years, which, thanks to the F1 Supershift gearbox, may be selected at lightning speed.
