Unveiled at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the 575M Maranello, the 599 GTB Fiorano marked a decisive step forward for Ferrari's front-engined V12 grand tourer. It took its name from the displacement of its 5,999-cc engine and the Fiorano test circuit, where Ferrari hones its road and racing cars. Pininfarina clothed the car in aluminum bodywork shaped as much by the wind tunnel as by the eye. It featured flying-buttress C-pillars channeling air to the tail, a functional rear diffuser, and discreet brake cooling ducts. Riding an aluminum chassis with magnetorheological semi-active suspension, the 599 pairs everyday usability with supercar capability.

At the heart of the car sits the “F140 C” V12 derived from the Enzo, producing 612 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque. The majority of 599 GTBs left Maranello with the F1 SuperFast electrohydraulic transaxle, with only a small number of buyers specifying the traditional gated six-speed manual. Those factory manual cars, numbering approximately 30 examples worldwide, have since become among the most coveted of modern Ferraris. Prized for the tactile connection of three pedals positioned behind one of Ferrari's finest V12 engines, it is no surprise that a properly executed manual conversion has become popular with enthusiasts.

Finished in the handsome combination of Nero with a Nero leather interior and accented with red piping, this 599 is tastefully optioned with Daytona-style seats and carbon-fiber driving zone packages. Forged 20-inch ball polished Challenge wheels accentuate the carbon-ceramic brakes with red calipers. Further equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, and quad exhaust outlets.

This example was sold new in New Hampshire in September 2008 and is documented by a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report that traces its life through Massachusetts, Texas, California, and Pennsylvania. The car spent the bulk of its early years under California ownership from 2009 to 2022, and the report reflects regular, careful use with a consistent and modest mileage progression. Today the odometer shows just under 11,000 miles from new at the time of cataloging.

Distinguishing this 599 GTB from the vast majority of examples is its factory-style six-speed gated manual conversion, completed in 2022 by Exoticars USA of Milford, New Jersey, using largely original Ferrari components at a cost exceeding $53,000. In June 2025, the engine control program was updated specifically for the manual installation, resolving a well-known drivability complaint long associated with the factory three-pedal cars. The result is a 599 that delivers the rare and rewarding manual experience so few examples were originally built to offer, now properly sorted to drive as it always should have.

In recent years the car has benefited from additional extensive and careful attention. A full ceramic coating protects the paint and wheels, while a recent oil analysis confirmed normal wear-metal averages with no coolant contamination. A significant program of service work was carried out between 2022 and 2026, addressing its sticky buttons, with new tires, belts, hoses, transmission mount, and a battery, along with brake work and fresh fluids. The full extent of this work can be seen in the history file.

Combining the soaring character of Ferrari's Enzo-derived V12 with the engagement of a properly executed six-speed manual transmission, this low-mileage 599 GTB Fiorano presents a rare and compelling proposition. For the collector who values the purity of three pedals and a gated shifter, few modern front-engined Ferraris are as desirable.
