Ferrari 599 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2012) — First Generation
The first-generation Ferrari 599 is a front-engined grand tourer built around a large naturally aspirated V12, offered in closed Coupe form and with an open Targa-style roof arrangement.
Every Ferrari 599 engine here is a 6.0-litre petrol V12 driving the rear wheels, so traction and balance depend heavily on throttle discipline. The Coupe 6.0 MT pairs it with a traditional manual gearbox, while the Targa 6.0 DCT uses an automated clutch transmission that shifts far faster than any driver could.
