599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It has a 6.0 L V12 engine which produces 612 hp, making it the most powerful series production Ferrari road car. The company claims a top speed in excess of 330 km/h, 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, and 11.0 seconds to 200 km/h. This is a realy amazing car, it was named the 2006 Car of the Year by the two greatest car magazines in the world, Evo and Top Gear magazine.
In 2009 Ferrari decided that they’re going to make the car even better by releasing the Handling GT Evoluzione (HGTE) version, it is an upgrade that improves the car's handling, the ride height has been lowered, which lowers the car's center of gravity, it also includes optimized tires featuring a compound that offers improved grip, better electronics, the gearbox's shifts are faster in high-performance settings, while new engine software improved accelerator response, the exhaust silencer was modified to produce more thrilling sound under hard usage whilst still delivering just the right comfort levels at cruising speed, also the exterior and interior were upgraded with more carbon fiber components, which reduced its weight. As a result of all those improvemants, the HGTE is a “new and improved” Fiorano, its faster more agile and probably much less comfortable.
