Pros & cons

PROS

Brilliant handling, sharp styling, uses engine from Enzo, the ultimate supercar

CONS

Long waiting list, extortionate running costs, incredibly expensive

Overview

Put simply the 599GTB is one of the best supercars ever made. It’s superbly engineered, beautifully styled, frighteningly quick and an absolute dream to drive. Add in the mix its sheer head turning ability and this is the complete package. Unfortunately it also comes at a high price while servicing and fuel bills are equally astronomical. But a two-year waiting list for new models proves that for some people, price is no object for the ultimate supercar.

Power comes from the 6.0-litre V12 that was first used in the famous Enzo, giving the 599GTB an astonishing 0-62mph time of just 3.7 seconds and a theoretical top speed of 205mph.
