FERRARI 599GTB FIORANO HGTE AND 599XX
Maranello gifts its 599 with better handling and as much cutting-edge tech as it can handle.

Ferrari will use the 2009 Geneva auto show to share some 599-related news.

599GTB Fiorano HGTE

A new package for the 599GTB Fiorano, called Handling GT Evoluzione (HGTE), aims to up the car?s handling prowess. Judging from the image seen here, the package includes new wheels and a unique grille?with one less horizontal and vertical bar?all the better to show off the prancing horse. We?re unaware of any changes to the car?s V-12 powerplant, but not to worry; it?s a Ferrari, and everyone knows it?s fast.

Ferrari calls the 599XX a ?technological laboratory,? saying that it will be used as a test bed for the company?s latest technologies. The cars will be offered to a select group of Ferrari owners and we expect the program to be similar to that involving the Enzo-based FXX.
