Video: Ferrari 599XX Laps Nürburgring in 6 Minutes, 58.16 Seconds

Deputy Editor

The 599XX is a 700HP, weapons-grade version of the 599GTB, and it drops Modena’s luxury appointments in favor of race-ready features like plastic windows and a roll cage. Ferrari says this run is a record for a “production-based” sports car, and while it might be technically right, this Cavallino isn’t street-legal and ran the lap shod with slicks. So you can make your own decisions about whether this “record” is that big of a deal, but regardless, this video is sick.

this car just looks menacing. i love the black holes where the taillights would be for the actiflow system. even the dumbo ears, they give it character.

if you want to be anal about the record fine. this does not count for the record because it is a race bred car. but im not being anal about it so, this is a wicked car. i saw this at the autoshow this year and i could tell that was a fast car. this just proved it.
