While fans have insisted that the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is the best GT car on the market, they will soon be silenced by the release of the new Ferrari 599 HGTE which was unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in March of this year. Quite a lot to swallow for the naming but here is a break down H-handling, GT – Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) and the E-for Evoluzione (Evolution). 

The HGTE Pack Difference 

There are no engine modifications but with the 612bhp V12 engine, you already have all the power that you will ever need and then some. With HGTE the 599 is lowered by 10mm and also the suspension is made harder by about 16%. Although the physical changes with the car, such as the rear anti-roll bar being 1.5mm wider but you will only spot the difference by the sound of the engine. Quad exhausts with a loud noise is exactly what you need to draw even more attention to your Ferrari. The suspension system has been upgraded slightly from the standard model and the new wheels shave a whole 11 pounds off the total weight of this car.Hilux for sale 

The interior of the car has a sportier vibe to it with full grain leather, black Alcantara and carbon fiber trim and the embroidered Prancing Horse and “Handling GTE” mark on the headrests. Holding down the left paddle you can perform multiple downshifts which is testamony to the improved six-speed shifter. land cruise for sale.Newly calibrated settings for the shock absorbers help give a slightly smoother ride by reducing the pitch and roll. The fuel consumption has gone from 13.3mpg up to 15.7 and not to mension the reduced emission from 490g/km to 415 which is good for the earth. 

The Difference in the Drive 

The standard Ferrari 599 is already so good that it’s difficult to see the difference when you drive it on regular roads although the HGTE does have a slightly quicker turn-in. On the track, however, the faster up shifts near the redline is the most noticeable difference and is almost uncomfortable in how shockingly fast it is. The cornering grip has been increased by 8 percent. Improvements include a lowered center of gravity and an improvement to the under steer. toyota hilux for sale pretoria 

When already spending a large chunk of change on a great car, buyers will find it hard not to justify spending the extra money to upgrade to the Ferrari 599 HGTE simply because it is the best GT car ever made by Ferrari, and who doesn’t want the best?
