This new racing machine is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, a sporty two-seater that only the front engine and transaxle arrangement has undergone significant mechanical and technical changes to make it a real track eater.Improved Aerodynamics
In March last year, the Italian brand surprised everyone at the 2009 Geneva Salon introducing the concept and, in July, the first units were photographed as prototypes rolled in Fiorano and Mugello.
In addition to these tests, there have been hundreds of trials in the wind tunnel, optimizing a already good aerodynamics and achieving an almost perfect value. The result has been a downforce of 280 kg to 200 km / h from 630 kg to 300 km / h.
This has been achieved thanks to Actiflow increases downforce depending on the conditions of curve fitting of the car, in addition to careen across the bottom front and repositioning the air vents on the hood.
In the rear, it has a diffuser made of carbon fiber which is responsible for channeling the airflow under the car through two grids. Moreover, experience from racing in Formula 1, The Ferrari 599XX has special hubcaps that cover the brake discs and wheel rim, there by also improve aerodynamics and cooling for the brakes.
The alloy wheels are 19 inches in diameter and are mounted on slick tires, developed specifically to maximize cornering stability and increasing lateral acceleration.
Changes in the mechanical
Based on the mechanics of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, a block of twelve cylinders in V, with a banking angle of sixty-five degrees and 620 horsepower, the engineers specialist brand engines have modified the combustion chambers motor and the entry and escape routes and reduce internal wear parts and components, crankshaft taking a new shape and new materials like carbon fiber.
With this, the maximum speed has been boosted to a system of 9,000 revolutions per minute and reaching a maximum power of 700 horses.
Concept of high dynamic performance
The Ferrari 599XX features a new electronic device known as high dynamic performance concept. This device is designed for maximum performance of the car by managing the combination of the mechanical limits of the car with the potential of all its electronic controls, under situations of high-performance driving to get the best lap times.
As the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, sporty handling has been improved through the adoption of the second generation of SCM suspension system that now has a virtual assistant, a screen displaying an indication of the efficiency of real-time vehicle .
In addition, changes between relations of the gearbox have been upgraded to change gear in just sixty milliseconds.
