Super 599. The Ferrari HGTE

posted in Auto Insurance News |

If you thought the 599 GTB Fiorano was king then the 599 HGTE is king of kings. Quite a lot to swallow for the naming but here is a break down H-handling, GT – Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) and the E-for Evoluzione (Evolution). 

The HGTE Pack Difference 

There are no engine modifications but with the 612bhp V12 engine, you already have all the power that you will ever need and then some. The car is lowered 10mm and made 16% stiffer by the HGTE version. Although the physical changes with the car, such as the rear anti-roll bar being 1.5mm wider but you will only spot the difference by the sound of the engine. Quad exhausts with a loud noise is exactly what you need to draw even more attention to your Ferrari. The suspension system has been upgraded slightly from the standard model and the new wheels shave a whole 11 pounds off the total weight of this car.free property advertising 

The interior of the car has a sportier vibe to it with full grain leather, black Alcantara and carbon fiber trim and the embroidered Prancing Horse and “Handling GTE” mark on the headrests. Transmition via the six-speed paddle-shift has impoved by 15 milliseconds infact it is possible to perform multiple downshifts by just holding down the left paddle. land cruise for sale.Newly calibrated settings for the shock absorbers help give a slightly smoother ride by reducing the pitch and roll. The fuel consumption has gone from 13.3mpg up to 15.7 and the emissions have been cut from 490g/km to 415 which definitely give you something to boast about. 

The Difference in the Drive 

The standard Ferrari 599 is already so good that it’s difficult to see the difference when you drive it on regular roads although the HGTE does have a slightly quicker turn-in. On the track, however, the faster up shifts near the redline is the most noticeable difference and is almost uncomfortable in how shockingly fast it is. Cornering grip has been improved by 8%. It also has less mid-bend wallow and better handling than the standard HGTE partially because of the slightly lowered center of gravity and the correction of the standard model’s resistance to under steer. audi a3 for sale 

When already spending a large chunk of change on a great car, buyers will find it hard not to justify spending the extra money to upgrade to the Ferrari 599 HGTE simply because it is the best GT car ever made by Ferrari, and who doesn’t want the best?
