Ferrari 599

Fiorano - HGTE - MANUAL

Highlights:

• Believed to be one of 10 European Manual 599’s
• Possibly the only European LHD manual 599 with HGTE package
• German car from new, always in Germany, two owners
• Specified with the incredibly rare Enzo bucket seats
• Presented in pristine condition
• Exclusively maintained by official Ferrari dealers

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano represents one of the final naturally aspirated front-engined V12 grand tourers from Maranello, embodying the pinnacle of Ferrari’s engineering and design during the late 2000s. Powered by a 6.0-liter V12 derived from the Enzo, it produces 612 horsepower (456 kW) and 608 Nm (448 lb-ft) of torque, delivering exceptional performance with a refined grand touring character.

Ferrari produced only a very limited number of manual 599s worldwide, with most buyers opting for the F1 automated gearbox. It is widely believed that fewer than 30 manual 599s were built, and among which roughly ten cars were built for the European market, making it one of the most sought-after modern Ferraris for purists.

The HGTE (Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione) package, introduced in 2009, further enhances the 599’s dynamic capabilities. This factory option includes:

• Tighter suspension settings with stiffer springs and recalibrated magnetic dampers
• Faster-shifting transmission software (for F1-equipped cars; not applicable here)
• Sportier exhaust system with a more aggressive note
• Lightweight 20-inch wheels
• Unique interior trim upgrades and carbon fiber accents
• Revised ECU calibration for sharper throttle response

When paired with the manual gearbox, the HGTE-equipped 599 GTB delivers a uniquely analog and engaging driving experience – a rare combination of raw mechanical feel and refined GT performance. For collectors, this specification checks all the boxes: low production volume, manual gearbox, and factory performance package – all within a front-engined V12 Ferrari. It is a modern classic with strong investment potential, particularly as the market continues to appreciate analog supercars in an increasingly digital era.

OUR 599 GTB:
Our example is a German delivery through official Ferrari dealer Lais Power in Stuttgart in March 2009 to its first German owner resident in Cologne, who kept the 599 for four years before passing it to its last owner, also resident in Germany. This two-owner example was finished in the rich shade of black Nero Daytona Metallic with a full black interior sporting extremely rare “Enzo” style fabric and leather bucket seats and the desirable HGTE option. More importantly, this specific example was specified from factory with the all-rare manual transmission, making it one of around 10 European examples ever built and possibly the only one sporting the HGTE package. A true one-off and impossible to find in such an attractive specification.

Our example was always serviced at official Ferrari dealers in Germany:

• At 9,884km on 19.07.2010 by LUEG sportivo GmbH
• At 15,819 on 25.04.2012 by LUEG sportive GmbH
• At 18,792km on 06.11.2013 by LUEG sportivo GmbH
• At 21,209km on 10.11.2015 by TAMSEN GmbH
• At 22,207km on 19.08.2020 by PENSKE Sportwagen Hamburg GmbH
• At 22,416km on 24.10.2024 by PENSKE Sportwagen Hamburg GmbH

Presented in pristine condition, this 599 appears virtually untouched, with just 22,500 km on the odometer from new. Now available through Schaltkulisse Germany, it represents a true unicorn in the Ferrari world — a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most desirable analog V12 Ferraris ever built.
