Notable Car of the Day

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Somebody drives a red one to my gym. It must be new because I've never seen it there before. It's was wide and long and had a much bigger physical presence than I had expected. I've seen another red one (which may or may not have been the same) and a dark gray one too, both at Il Forniao.

In spite of its generous size and GT proportions, it is nothing short of a super car. A re-tuned 620 hp Enzo V-12 powers it from 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds (though Road & Track magazine recorded a time of 3.2 seconds) and tops out at a speed of 205 mph. To get one with any respectable options, it will run you around $389,393.
