Launched in 2012, the Ferrari
599XX Evolution represented the pinnacle of the Ferrari 599 lineup.
It had aerodynamic upgrades, a modified chassis, new tires, and a retuned engine. In other words, it was the most
extreme iteration of the 599. Even today, the 599XX Evoluzione remains one of
the most mental Ferraris that
Maranello has made in recent memory. All the things that made it awesome then
still make it awesome now. No more is that evident than in this recent video of
a 599XX Evoluzione that was spotted running roughshod over the Spa
Francorchamps racetrack in Belgium.
If you’ve never heard the 599XX’s ridiculous 6.3-liter V-12
engine in action, this is your chance to get a feel for the exotic track car. The video runs close to nine minutes,
so there’s a lot of heavy acceleration and popping downshifts that’ll
definitely make your day. As an added bonus, a 2014
Ferrari LaFerrari even makes a cameo in the middle of the video.
As a brief refresher on the car, the 599XX Evoluzione came
with improved chassis dynamics that worked in concert with an active
aerodynamic package that was integrated into the vehicles’ electronic control
systems. One of the more prominent features of this aero package is the active
rear wing that came with two flaps that were similar to the ones used in Formula One back
in 2011. These flaps rotated electronically to adjust the downforce between the
front and rear axles. The 599XX Evoluzione also came with a hefty engine
upgrade that brought its total output to 750 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
There’s no better way to mark the end of production for the
most extreme Ferrari
599 ever built then to give it a kickass special edition, and Ferrari
is doing just that with the599XX Evolution.
The new Evolution package boasts of aerodynamic advancements,
as well as a boost in power, and will be available to clients participating in
the track-based research and development program for the 2012-2013 seasons.
The new 599XX Evolution features improved chassis dynamics
thanks to an active aerodynamic package integrated with the vehicles’
electronic control systems and the adoption of new Pirelli tires. The new aero
package uses an active rear wing that features two flaps, with profiles similar
to those used in Formula 1, which rotate electronically to adjust the downforce
between the front and rear axles in function of vehicle speed and the maneuver
being effected.
The most impressive feature,
however, is the addition of an extra 50 HP for the 599XX’s 6.3L
V12 engine. This addition brings the 599XX’s total power up to 750 HP at 7000
rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque. Helping the engine along is a weight reduction of
77 lbs compared to the standard model.
