At next week's Geneva Motor Show Ferrari will reveal two new variants of its 599 GTB Fiorano sportscar. More specifically, the Italian firm will launch a more hardcore version of the two-seater coupe fitted with a new sport kit dubbed Handling GT Evoluzione (HGTE) Package and a technical study called "599XX". Ferrari has not disclosed any details on the 599 HGTE (pictured above) that will be finished in a new three-layer metallic Rosso, but aside from the new alloy wheels and high-performance tires, expect to see a sportier suspension set up and changes to the steering an and braking system.
As for the 599XX, Ferrari said that the car incorporates the most advanced technologies resulting from the firm's road-going and F1 research. Many of the systems on the 599XX will be used for the first time.
In addition to the two 599 GTB Fioranos, Ferrari's booth will also feature the firm's single-seater F1 racing car that recently won the Prancing Horse its 16th Constructors' World title and the full range of the firm's road cars including the Scuderia Spider 16M in a Grigio Titanio livery, the 430 Scuderia in Rosso Corsa and two Grand Tourer models, the Ferrari California in Nero Metallizzato with a Sabbia interior and the flagship 612 Scaglietti.
