The name of this new model from the marque of the Prancing Horse comes from the engine displacement of 5.99 liters; GTB (Grand Tourismo Berlinetta); and Fiorano, the racing circuit that the Italian carmaker uses to hone the performance of its creations.

Of course, the heart of every Ferrari is found under the hood. In the case of the 599, the heart is a 5.99-liter V12 unit derived from the engine found in the Enzo supercar. Output is an impressive 620 horsepower, with 450 lb-ft of torque at 5600 rpm.

The V12 can be teamed with either a 6-speed manual or the latest F1-Superfast transmission that can shift gears in as little as 100 milliseconds. Performance stats are impressive—62 mph is reached in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed in excess of 205 mph. An Independent Test conducted by Motor Trend Magazine shows 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. The 599 GTB Fiorano also features an advanced Magnetorheological Suspension Control (SCM) that utilizes a magnetorheological (MR) fluid that can adjust suspension instantly for road conditions or driver input. This provides better handling and cornering, and is the first time the SCM suspension has been used on a Ferrari. .

The 2003 Ferrari 575M Maranello (M yellow) boasts Ferrari’s 5748cc V12 Modified Engine, which produces 515hp and 434Lb-Ft Torque! The 60mph mark is achieved in 4.2 seconds and the quarter mile run is completed in 12.6 seconds. The top speed on this collectible Ferrari is a sweltering 202 MPH! In addition to unbelievable power, this 2003 Ferrari 575M needs only 126ft to stop from 60 Mph. Ferrari used a new adaptive suspension system that independently controls damping at all four wheels specifically for this 2003 575M. The system selects what it considers to be the best suspension tune for any condition.
