The Ferrari That Sounds Like No Other

  • What Makes the Ferrari 599XX a Symphony on Wheels?

Ferrari has a legacy of producing cars that not only excel in performance but also captivate with their sound. While classics like the F355 or the iconic Formula 1 racers hold a special place in history, the true champion of sound is the Ferrari 599XX—a track-only masterpiece that combines unbridled performance with an auditory experience like no other.

A Track-Only Marvel

A Track-Only Marvel

The Ferrari 599XX, derived from the 599 road car, is a track-only beast that showcases the brand’s engineering prowess. Built for Ferrari’s top-tier clientele, the 599XX is untethered by race regulations, allowing engineers to prioritize raw performance. It boasts enhanced aerodynamics, upgraded brakes, and a reimagined suspension system, ensuring it’s a force to be reckoned with on the circuit.

Inside, the car is stripped of its essentials. A roll cage and a bucket seat replace luxury, emphasizing its single purpose: speed. This purity of design makes the 599XX a true testament to Ferrari’s motorsport DNA.


Under its hood, the Ferrari 599XX houses a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine. Unlike its road-legal counterpart, this version churns out an impressive 720 horsepower and revs to a staggering 9,000 RPM. Unrestricted by mufflers, its engine roars with unfiltered fury, producing an unforgettable symphony of high-pitched screams and crackling downshifts.

This auditory experience is amplified by Ferrari’s precise tuning of the six-speed paddle-shift transmission, ensuring every gear change adds to its melodic charm. For motorsport enthusiasts, the 599XX’s sound is as exhilarating as its performance.

Produced in limited numbers for select Ferrari customers, the 599XX isn’t just about performance or sound; it’s about exclusivity. Its lack of compliance with racing regulations underscores Ferrari’s commitment to crafting a car purely for track-day perfection.

The result? A machine that not only pushes engineering boundaries but also delivers an unparalleled sensory experience. Its combination of power, precision, and an unforgettable exhaust note solidifies the 599XX as a true icon.
