2007 Ferrari 599 GTB

The Pininfarina-penned 599 GTB or Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to give it its full title was Ferrari’s first aluminium chassis production car with a front-mid engine layout and the use of flying buttresses initially for pure styling benefit to remove ‘visual weight’ from the rear when compared to the outgoing 575M Maranello model and harking back to the Pininfarina feature found on the Dino 206 GT.

It was after the styling scale models were wind tunnel tested that the full aerodynamic benefits became apparent in channeling airflow over the rear, eliminating the need for a rear wing and arguably Ferrari had stumbled on a design feature that would start an automotive trend in sportscars with subsequest examples including the Ford GT, Honda NSX, McLaren 570S and the BMW i8 to name but a few.

Showing a scarce 2,939 miles from new and with its second owner since March 2008

In addition, the 599 also has an underbody spoiler and venturi tunnels that added to the overall downforce with all of these aerodynamic features, whether planned or not, having downforce benefits but creating minimal drag.

This extremely low-mileage Nero example of a 599 GTB Fiorano is therefore an investable example of this pivotal ‘aero’ flying buttress design, not being the first with the feature from a styling perspective on a production car but perhaps the first to realise the aerodynamic benefits of the flying buttress feature.

Showing a scarce 2,939 miles from new this example has been with its second owner since March 2008, having spent 10 years of that time in storage and only being used on rare occasions. So much so, that between 2010 and 2022 the car only amassed a further 837 miles. Spending some time in October 2022 with Ferrari dealer H.R. Owen London the vehicle was subject to a fresh service and MOT which resulted in a clean, first time pass. Included with the car is the leather owners wallet with accompanying booklets, service book and the original printed certificate of conformity - a rare find.
