  | Ferrari 599 HGTE  It would appear that Ferrari is ready to ‘HGT’ the 599 – just as it did the 575 towards the end of its life. Ferrari will unveil something called a 599 HGTE (the ‘E’ stands for Evoluzione) at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The car will come with a cabin stuffed-full of carbon fibre – including some funky bucket seats - a front grill similar to that of a 430 Scuderia, 20in 3-piece wheels, a bespoke Cup tyre and new-look exhaust outlets. The Manettino settings have been recalibrated to work with revised spring rates and anti-roll bars, and apparently Ferrari will claim to have ‘altered the sound quality’, which we can take as meaning the HGTE will be naffing loud. Power remains the same as the standard car at 611bhp - for the £17k the kit looks likely to cost, that might seem a bit mean. But as anyone who has ever driven a 599, and Christiano Ronaldo will tell you, it’s already a complete animal. |
