    599 GTB Testdrive

    A perfect GT and extraordinary handling for such a heavy car!

    Amazing car. I prefer the Challenge wheels but otherwise very nice.

    These are the first images in which I actually like the looks of that car. Realy stunning. The one thing I can't get used to though are the headlights... there's just something wrong with those...

    The only problem is, if you say that about a car that is black, there might be something wrong with the design, as black hides the lines.

    The 599 is stunning, but it's design is a little bit too bland for my taste.

    Alex, my friend, how come everyone and everything is either "SIIIIIICK" or "INSAAAAANE"

    It makes me think how suddenly I've become old (even though I'm still in my 30s) and how I've lost touch with how today's young crowd use the English language

    Me too

    Gorgeous car. I agree with Joost - the headlamps aren't daring enough. Also the hood over the instrument display is a bit too big. Otherwise, sheer artistry

    It has an overall pleasing shape, if they got rid of those 2 side rakes and had a better headlight set-up it would be a winner. imo.

    It's quite understated when compared to the 430. I like that aspect of it. I suppose you could drive around in that and not draw as much attention to yourself, which has its advantages. Having said that, I'm sure it would look much better with a different set of wheels, but that's my only complaint.

    Looks so good!

    Is the little side window opened in the first pic or is that just reflection?
    I thought it can't be oppened.

    Reflection. It's part of the rear window and can't be opened.

    As Rossi stated, usually black tends to hide the lines of a car but in this case the color seems to give the car more of a presence. Also,in person the headlights look better.

    Beautiful car! The only thing better would be the Challenge wheels and a black interior.

    Yes! I saw one yesterday at my dealer. It was metallic black w/black interior and red piping. It looked incredible. It's hard to notice how wide the front hood is in the pics, that thing is enormous
