Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Ferrari is known for making striking cars. The 599 GTB Fiorano is no exception. This car has a sleek, flowing body combined with one of Ferrari's most powerful engines ever, making for one of the most coveted Ferraris to date. One look at the 599 tells you that it is designed for speed. In fact, the 599 is Ferrari's "most powerful V12-engined production car of all time", (according to the Ferrari Media Site). But the danger with speed is not enough downforce holding the car to the road. The 599 manages to have more than enough downforce, without using huge wings or spoilers. While the exterior has the word FAST written all over it, the interior is refined and perfectly compensates for the bold effusion of power contained under the hood. Overall, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano may not be the most powerful car on the earth, but it is certainly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) to emerge from the Ferrari factory and this will always give it a place in the hearts of ultra luxury car enthusiasts everywhere.
