Description
LHD 2008 Ferrari 599 in Rubino Micalizzato over Crema Hide with Nuovo Rosso carpets.
This 599 is a fine example of Ferrari's 'Carrozzeria Scaglietti' program, (strictly on request); which allowed buyers to further tailor their specifications in a way that was both unique and personalised. This particular 599 was meticulously configured, showcasing a well-considered blend of aesthetics and equipment enhancements.
Let's begin with the paintwork—Rubino Micalizzato—a rare, two-layer finish that represents the darkest shade of red in Ferrari’s palette. Under low light, it reveals deep burgundy tones, while direct sunlight brings out brighter red highlights with a gold-bronze undertone in the metallic flake. This uncommon colour perfectly complements the striking, muscular lines that Pininfarina designed to perfection.
Inside, the cabin is upholstered in elegant Crema Hide, with the seats featuring the iconic Daytona-style design. The seats are fully electric and accented with carbon trim, which is also extensively used throughout the interior—including the driver zone with LED steering wheel, kick plates, lower cabin zone, and door cards. Additional features include a BOSE sound system, front and rear parking sensors, a 6-CD changer, electrochromic rear-view mirror, yellow rev counter, and extensive contrasting leather upgrades on the rear shelf, headlining, and upper dashboard.
Where this 599 truly stands out is in its substantial and high-value GTO upgrades:
- GTO Wheels with Titanium Bolts
- GTO Spec Front Spoiler & Carbon Fibre Rear Diffuser
- GTO Spec Carbon Fibre Side Skirts
- GTO Spec Rear Trunk Lid
- GTO Suspension Geometry & Setup, including springs, coils, bushes, and joints
- GTO Steering Rack—quicker and vastly improved handling
- Genuine GTO/ Enzo ventilated floating carbon ceramic discs with Giallo calipers
- GTO Spec Grigio Silverstone Opaco Roof & Wing Mirrors (wrapped)
- Capristo Sports Exhaust
While we typically prefer factory specifications, these upgrades not only enhance the car's value but also significantly elevate its aesthetic appeal, making it stand out from the rest. For those in the know, this could be seen as a more comfortable, more usable GTO at a fraction of the price—an extremely attractive proposition for any Ferrari enthusiast or buyer seeking something truly special. With 599 prices appearing to have bottomed out, this model offers incredible value with its naturally aspirated V12, engaging single-clutch gearbox, and stunning Pininfarina design.
Notably, we are personally acquainted with the first owner of this car and have records from the dealers who have previously sourced and sold it, all documented in its history file. The car comes complete with the owner's pack, including the service book, both keys, trickle charger, car cover, and a collection of previous invoices.
