GTO is the signature to have in the Ferrari world. First presented at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, the 599 GTO was intended as a tribute to its predecessors the 250 and 288. An evolution of the 599XX track car, it had the same, if slightly tempered, ultra-sporty personality. It was powered by a magnificent V12 6-litre engine at 65°, producing a whopping 670 bhp. Coupled to the F1 SuperFast sequential-shift gearbox, it was capable of an extraordinary performance: the GTO went from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.35 seconds and had a top speed of over 335 km/h. The 20-inch wheels and carbon features, including a huge air extractor, spoke volumes about the car's temperament as did the interior, with its fabric and Alcantara bucket seats and an abundance of carbon fibre. The Manettino, positioned on the steering wheel, had five settings allowing the driver to adjust the car's behaviour. The gearshift paddles offered incredible precision and optimized downshift. The carbon-ceramic discs provided an effective and durable braking system. The tour de force for Ferrari, in creating this GTO, was to build such an incredibly powerful car that was so easy to drive.
The car on display was delivered new to the Autohaus Saggio GMBH dealership in Munich on 22 February 2011.

Other options selected at the time included aluminium brake callipers, a yellow speedometer background, and black painted challenge rims.

A demanding collector of supercars, he had been dreaming of a 599 GTO with a rare specification combining elegance and originality ever since the car was released. He used the car sparingly, but made a point of honour to ensure that it was kept in perfect condition by the Ferrari network. In 2022, he decided to follow the Tour Auto behind the wheel of the GTO, and drove the car for around 4,000 km during the event, since recalling that he enjoyed driving it immensely. The front of the car was hit by small gravel chips, as was the windscreen. A bodywork overhaul was therefore undertaken, including the repainting of the bumper, bonnet, and front wings, and the windscreen was replaced. It is currently in superb cosmetic condition, and it is difficult to find any signs of wear. The first of the Ferrari V12 special series, it is now considered a myth by many collectors. With low mileage and a superb combination of colours, it is sure to find a home with a discerning collector looking for a unique d
