The new Ferrari 599 GTO Berlinetta V12 is an extreme emphasis on developed a short-term results. The Ferrari 599 GTO is, in fact, the company's fastest road car ever. This is a special limited edition exclusive, in the true tradition of Ferrari, is a totally new concept, although inspired by a production car. Indeed, the Ferrari 599 GTO is based on the 599XX, experimental advanced race car, and can be considered almost like a version of the current route.
The Ferrari 599 GTO is reserved for only 599 customers, seeking the maximum expression of high-performance driving. The Ferrari 599 GTO direct beneficiaries of technology transfer Racing and set a lap record at Fiorano in 1'24 ".
Fiorano lap time offers only an indication of the potential of this car. Equally important are the technical specifications - 1495kg car 670 hp power to weight ratio is only 2.23 kg / hp, and guarantees from 0-100 km / h acceleration takes only 3.35 "and a top speed of over 335 km / h.
Fundamental to the performance of the GTO is its innovative approach to chassis development for the first time on a production car, so the integration between handling establishment to listen to a level of responsiveness that is close to the border and sophisticated electronic control. The result is the almost complete lack of understeer and a very communicative chassis.
As Ferrari policy, each new Ferrari has new solutions for a street car. Thus, the Ferrari 599 GTO is equipped with the latest, the second generation of the carbon ceramic brakes are lighter and offer better performance, new aerodynamic innovations, such as cakes wheels that increase aerodynamic efficiency and improved cooling brakes and tires developed by Michelin Supersport include a wider front tire for later use. The interface for the car-driver is also new, with the approval of the virtual race engineer (VRE), which provides the driver with immediate feedback on performance.
Ferrari 599 GTO aggressive nature is also reflected in a series of exterior design draws 599XX and a strong voice in the V12.
The GTO (Gran Turismo Omologata) nickname instantly recalls two Ferraris, has entered the collective imagination as symbols of performance. After the 1962 250 GTO, which swept the boards in the GT class racing in 1960 and is now a prized collector car, came the iconic 1984 GTO, making it invented the genre any modern supercar.
Web Special Rapporteur includes photos, videos and interviews about the new car, while an exclusive preview of a small number of Ferrari customers to be held April 14 at the Military Academy of Modena. The public debut of the Ferrari 599 GTO will be held at the Salon International de l'Automobile in Beijing in late April.
Engine and transmission
Ferrari 599 GTO engine is directly derived from the 599XX, however, make the necessary changes in the road going type. It therefore complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 standards. 5999 cc 65 ° V12 punches from 670 hp at 8250 rpm for torque of 620 Nm at 6,500 rpm and is smooth, continuous running power to redline without losing the flexibility of up to medium and low speeds. This result was obtained working in fluid dynamics and components to reduce internal friction and adoption, among other things, revised the 599XX crankshaft. The car is also a race-type intake system with a new manifold, diffuser-type geometry intake and a short section of suction to improve power delivery at high revs, and reduce losses. To maximize the efficiency of the volume per cylinder, connect the two boxes in front of the interface to compensate for fluctuations in volume.
Thus, the engineers have managed to achieve maximum performance at high speeds. Engine noise inside the vehicle is carefully controlled to balance the intake from the exhaust, which has a 599XX derivatives 6-in-1 manifold.
The Ferrari 599 GTO has it, 60 times more small change and the possibility of multiple downshifts as the 599XX.
Vehicle Dynamics
One of the most significant innovations of the Ferrari 599 GTO is a close correlation between the installation base, which is close to the processing of the border, and investing in electronic controls that have been developed to increase the overall performance.
Because of the first countries in two cars, "the development of the Maranello's engineers work to ensure that these two areas of the car to be fully integrated so as to push the reactivity of the border. The result is, of course, the involvement of superlative guide as well as lap times faster. In addition, new springs and stiffer rear anti-roll bar, the car is another. magnetorheological suspension system generation (SCM2) suspension works with VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) and the latest generation of F1-Trac traction control This makes the car reacts much driver input. - in part thanks to a very direct steering ratio - but also very stable under braking, sharper cornering, cornering precision and fast corners.
WEIGHT REDUCTION
The Ferrari 599 GTO inherits much of the development work - the same principles used in Formula 1 - which came into 599XX make a great performance car. Weight reduction is a vital goal and the result was the massive use of composite materials and components made with technologies related to the specifications of the race. The affected areas include the body and the greenhouse (glass aluminum thinner), brakes, transmission and exhaust system. The result is a dry weight of 1495 kg and a power to weight ratio of just 2.23 kg / hp, a very important figure that highlights the performance potential of the GTO.
AERODYNAMICS
Ferrari 599 GTO has benefited significantly from the aerodynamics of the Ferrari engineers and 599XX F1 experience that has allowed to significantly increase the downforce without the dragging effect. Thanks for your solutions are transferred to the track the car road-going version of the GTO to produce 144 kg of downforce of 200 km / h. The car was polished, the front and sides, flat base and the cooling power. In the latter case, the GTO can not rely on the system behavior is improved brake discs and brake pads, donuts and the adoption of the wheel - plate located outside the brake disc ensures that the outlet is hot wheel so close to the body of the car as much as possible to reduce drag.
Work on the nose of the car was to reduce the width of the wake generated by the front and reduce drag. The front spoiler incorporates a separate wing which increases to less support for the front of the car and increases the flow of cooling air oil cooler. On the sides there is a new concept of threshold with a touch sharper edge that improves the efficiency of the central section of the base. The base incorporates a new front in the lower section with broadcasters ahead of the front wheels for maximum support and a rear diffuser double curve again.
Wheels and tires
That's the difference between the diameter of the front and rear tires have been changed. GTO front tires are 285/30 is now 9.5 "channel 315/35 is 11.5" behind the channel. Ferrari 599 GTO has 20 "wheels. Stiffness is larger than the rear to reduce understeer. These solutions provide greater lateral grip and quick turn
BRAKES
CCM2 a new braking system is lighter and more consistent with the high performance situations. Its coefficient of friction constant ensured that the ABS can be calibrated to very high levels of performance, reducing lap times, with shorter stopping distances and improved braking. Indeed, the Ferrari 599 GTO is an excellent 100-0 kmh stopping distance, only 32.5 meters. And their role in improving the aerodynamics, the Formula 1 derived from the wheel of the monks also improves braking performance by optimizing the cooling of the brakes.
CAR-Driver Interface
The interface for the car-driver was designed to maximize the performance of the car and the driver with a provision of the main controls to ensure absolute efficiency and driver distraction. Manettino Racing also places special emphasis on sports, standards of conduct to be followed in offering the choice of the pilot complete with respect to the configuration of electronic control. The position in the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano ICE has been replaced by CT-off (traction control off). The GTO is also equipped with custom, more carbon fiber F1 paddles to facilitate the use of high speed driving. In addition, the GTO also virtual race engineer, a system that monitors the status of the vehicle and provides an immediate return of the vehicle driver.
