That Vandenbrink concept is going to be a reality. He doesn't think Ferrari will be very gung-ho about him badging them as Ferraris (even though they still will be 599GTBs for all intents and purposes) he is just trying to get enough people with 599s to sign up for the conversion for it to be profitable. There is a lot of discussion about it over on ferrarichat.com if you go in the 599 section.

I think you are both confused. That Pontiac has FR500s.

You mean GPM? The link in the original post states:

"The engine displaces 5.9 liters and complies with Euro 5 and LEV 2 emissions regs and burns 17.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which by our math comes to 13.4 mpg. It also emits 411 grams/kilometer of CO2. Neither figure will win it any plaudits from Al Gore, but then how often will a car like the 599 GTO really be driven?"

Gotta be on the short list for best sounding cars of all eternity. I'd chew a tunnel with my own teeth, mole rat style, just to drive one through it.

That sound is amazing! I think I made a mess at only 46 seconds in. If I had a wife, I'd give her up just for a ride in that car.

Actually I like this model and the configuration(In technical word). Because this car having great power and the race so the thrill by this car will be great and appreciable. Ferrari have some new extra features this time to reduce the problem of the owner and the driver so that is also good.
