Introduced in 2007 as a replacement for the beautiful, Daytona-evoking 575M Maranello, the 599 GTB Fiorano upped the sky-high ante of its neo-classic predecessor with a brilliant, Enzo-derived V-12 and dramatic, all-aluminum Pininfarina bodywork. Combining traditional Ferrari gran turismo proportions with 21st-century technique, the Fiorano balanced aggression and elegance, much of which is credited to brilliant C-pillar “sails” contributing to considerable downforce while preserving an uncluttered profile. Offering drivers a variety of drive modes, the 599 was equally adept at canyon carving or continent crushing, depending on which mode was selected on its steering wheel-mounted manettino switch.

According to its window sticker on file, the 599 GTB Fiorano offered here was retailed via The Collection of Coral Gables, Florida and, according to its CARFAX Vehicle History Report, it was dutifully maintained there for its first three years before its acquisition by a Miami-based owner. In more recent years, the Ferrari was domiciled around San Diego. The window sticker confirms the 599’s rare and desirable Handling GTE package – providing advantages that include a lower ride height, faster shifting, and re-tuned exhaust – and accounts for a major portion of its nearly $45,000 in factory-installed options. Displaying less than 19,000 miles when catalogued, ideally equipped, and strikingly sinister in double Nero (Black), this 599 is worthy of consideration by those enamored with distinguished, modern-era V-12 exotica.
