(27335, 27336/30532, 30533)

In 2009, Ferrari launched the Ferrari 599XX, a weight-reduced racing version with 537 kW (730 hp) at 9000 rpm, limited to 30 units and costing more than a million dollars, of the twelve-cylinder 599 model, which was launched in 2006 as the successor to the Ferrari 575.

To prove the potential of the Ferrari 599XX with its Active flow for electronic fine control of air resistance and aerodynamic underbody structure, the Italians chased the sports car around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. The clock stopped after a record time of 6:58.16 minutes.

I'm curious to see when and on what occasion I will get to see such a car live!

Optik:
The two models in dark blue and a strong red look prototypical gestylt.Bedruckung and the paintwork is clean and detailed. As far as I know, the vehicles have not yet competed in any real racing series, but on the Carreratrack they can easily be used in GT races, in the Endurance Cup 1:32 series or in a direct duel with the McLaren GT thanks to their discreet racing look. You shouldn't be more pontifical than the Pope, because whatever you like and drives harmoniously together is allowed. The red 'outer packaging' with the Ferrari logo is a nice touch and makes the Ferrari stand out from the crowd of other vehicles.

Technik:
The light appears quite bright and hardly shines through from the side. Otherwise, the extended steering angle, which also has a positive effect on drift behavior in this vehicle, has been standard for some time. The tires have sufficient grip, a short sanding and edge breaking is recommended as always.

Verarbeitung:
The wheels sit firmly in the wheel arches. Axles and rims turn well and smoothly. There is sufficient space in the chassis to accommodate rolled sheet metal parts. The A-pillar of one vehicle protruded slightly, but could be pushed into the correct position without any problems, as the upper parts of the body are not cast in one piece with the side panels and front.

Fahrverhalten:
The ride is smooth and balanced. There are no upward or downward deviations, so that the vehicle can be moved quickly and safely.
