The 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is the latest in a line of front-engine V12 coupes dating to the 1953 250 MM, and the ultimate expression of Montezemolo’s vision to date.

This 620-hp, auto-climate, Bose-equipped supercar is like none before it. The 5999-cc, 65-degree V12 shares its architecture and compression ratio (11.2:1) with the Enzo’s engine and generates almost as much power: 620 hp at 7600 rpm, compared to 660.

It is more compact than the previous-generation V12 in the 575M, with a lower deck height that brings the center of mass down roughly an inch in the chassis. Redline is 8400 rpm, with 448 lb-ft of torque at 5600 rpm.
