Marco Massarutto of Kunos Simulazioni posted this Ferrari 599XX video on his Facebook page today with the guiding riddle "spoiler" implying that something is brewing in Italy.

After the recent announcement of the Ferrari 458 GT2, Ferrari 458 Italia...

Ferrari 458 GT2, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari F40, Ferrari P4/5... How many ferraris see?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I don't think that the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina is considered an official Ferrari license but a separate deal with the owner James Glickenhaus.

 

[Duilio Simonetti]

Missing the point completely though.

So please, just to take the point completely, what do u mean when u say:

... it´s clear the guy isn´t a proffessional driver but 14 seconds? That´s an eternity even for a beginner. He must be really....really.....really slow

I hope you have seen how he takes care on every corner, and i think it's fair like this when u own a monster car like 599 ... at least until when u are totally confident ...

Compared the two laps of the 599XX and Zonda R.
(no sound)

So please, just to take the point completely, what do u mean when u say:

Taking into account he´s not Schumacher, it still seems fairly slow compared to a GT3 car.
He probably runs lower corner speeds, longer braking distances, and a mistake in Rivage and possibly some unnecessary lifting before Blanchimont.
Corner by corner it´s around 1,4s off pace in every single corner.
It doesn´t look like he´s that much off pace from a GT3 let alone a professional driver in the XX.

Lap i looked at was from Part 2 video and he wasn´t having a sunday drive that lap.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Saw a qualifying hotlap of a Z4 GT3 driven by Uwe Alzen and i decided to clock the time.

Started the clock at about 2:08 and stopped it at about 8:43

6:35 minutes ! Add 10 seconds for that little bit inbetween and you still end up with a time that is as quick as the Zonda R, 599XX/Evo etc.

GT3 cars are ridiculously quick it seems.

Damn that looks dangerous...I`m glad I will be given the opportunity to practice in a safe environment

One can only hope ... !
