Ferrari 599 HGTE package and 599XX break cover at Geneva Auto Show tomorrow
The Ferrari stand is likely to be crowded with showpieces at the 79th Geneva International Motor Show, set to begin tomorrow.
Ferrari will put on display the sporty, dynamic Handling GT Evoluzione (HGTE) Package for the 599 GTB Fiorano and will debut the 599XX, which would incorporate the most advanced technologies resulting from Ferrari’s road-going and F1 research. Many of the technological solutions it carries are being used for the first time and have been developed exclusively for this special car.
Both these cars will be introduced to the international media by Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo on the opening day of the Show (tomorrow)
Apart from these, the F2008 Formula 1 car (that brought home the 2008 constructors' title for Ferrari) will have to share parking space with the full range of Ferrari road cars: the Scuderia Spider 16M in a Grigio Titanio livery, the 430 Scuderia in Rosso Corsa and two Grand Tourer models, the Ferrari California in Nero Metallizzato with a Sabbia interior and the flagship 612 Scaglietti.
