What an incredible way to introduce the Ferrari 599 to the United States. Following its epic record-breaking journey around China last year in a pair of Ferrari 612 Scagliettis, Ferrari has stated that it has set its newest model, the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, an even tougher challenge, a 32,000 kilometre crossing from South to North America
On the 24th of August, two Ferrari 599 GTB Fioranos, will begin a long journey from Brazil that will take them through 16 countries and across 32,000 km to New York where they are scheduled to arrive on 17 November. A total of 50 different international journalists, each one representing the most important publications from all over the world, will take turns behind the wheels of the two sports cars, during the 15-stage, 84-day tour.
Every Ferrari naturally conjures up images of the track and motor racing at its finest. As the most powerful production model ever to be built at Maranello, it is easy to imagine the 599 GTB Fiorano going through its paces on the world’s circuits. Uniquely, however, not one but two of this stunning new model are about to embark on an adventure that will take them to the precarious mountain roads of the Andes and the dirt tracks of Central America, along a route so tough that they really will experience the same conditions as the very earliest racing cars.
