Early 2013 the car has replaced the beautiful 465 GT in my collection. The latter was also quite attractive because of the manual gearbox with open gate. As a 2+2- seater it was even more useful. Unfortunately due to a number of flaws and regular small troubles, I decided to look around for a more reliable product from Maranello. Thus, I discovered the only 599 GTB in "rosso corsa" with red interior I had ever seen before. So, I could simply not resist. The total mileage was 38'000 km only. Up until today, she has completely fulfilled my expectations.

Launch control Brake System: 4- wheel disc brake (ventilated) with double brake circuit f and r and vacuum brake booster. Carbon ceramic discs.

Against my expectations, the market value has not decreased significantly since I bought the vehicle. Thanks to quite limited annual mileage, this may be the case also for the near future.
