Claiming the mantle of the fastest Ferrari ever made is no mean feat. And this is the car that did it: the new 599 GTO. Reviving the stoic nameplate from the 60s-era 250 GTO and the 80s-era 288 GTO, the new ultimate Ferrari packs a 660-horsepower, 6-liter V12 – an improved version of the engine originally developed for the Enzo – for a 3.3-second 0-60 run.

Unfortunately only 559 examples will be built, each fetching a price upwards of €300,000. So your best chance of seeing one very well may be in the new gallery of images which Ferrari has released.
