Ferrari 599/630 Vandenbrink GTO

Ferrari 599 Vandenbrink GTO

It could be argued that the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is Ferrari’s greatest GT car to date. But that didn’t stop design company Vandenbrink Design from making it even better. As a tribute to the awesome 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, they created a new design which fuses the two great Ferraris beautifully.

In cooperation with Engineering firm EDO Competition, they’ve created a total of two models, both ready to blow your doors off. The 599 GTO features a 5.9L V12 pushing out 650 horsepower, while the higher-powered 630 GTO shows off a 6.3L V12 with an output of 750 horsepower. The 599 GTO runs the 0-62 mph sprint in an impressive 3.6 seconds, while the extra horsepower in the 630 GTO gives it a 0.2 second advantage in the 0-62 mph run. Both models put their power to the ground by way of a 6-speed paddle-shifted gearbox.

Just like the original 250 GTOs, each Vandenbrink GTO will be unique to the individual owner. The custom interior/upholstery design will be completed by Dutch craftsman Henk van Lith, known for his specialization in making high quality Italian interiors. However, only 5 total GTOs will be made, so this job shouldn’t be too difficult for Mr. Lith. The cost of the car will be a surprisingly high $1.5 million, PLUS the cost of the 599 Fiorano. The first car should be delivered to it’s lucky owner (with very deep pockets) in 2009.
