The Ferrari 599 GTB replaces the last in that great line of berlinettas, the 575M Maranello, of which - together wîth the 550 Maranello introduced in 1996 - no fewer than 5,700 have been produced, a record for this type of model for the Prancing Horse.

The new car will be officially unveiled on the 28th of February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show.
