Ferrari 599XX Sets New Nurburgring Record!
The Nurburgring Nordschleife has long been a proving ground for automobile manufacturers, with companies vying for the fasted production car lap record for bragging rights. Not too long ago, a sub- 8 minute lap was all it took to be King of the Hill, but that has all changed now. Though the merits of Ferrari’s claim to the 599XX being a “production car” may be debatable, the performance is not! Quite simply, the performance of the Ferrari 599XX is incredible!
Last week, Ferrari test driver Raffaele De Simone piloted the monster around the “Green Hell” - all 14 miles and 150 plus turns - in just 6 minutes, 58 seconds! The sub 7- minute lap closes in on what old Group C cars ran in the 1980s and is faster than many racecars run today at the annual 24 Hour race! Needless to say, Ferrari has put its flag in the ground and claimed the Nurburgring for itself, and it will probably be awhile before another manufacturer can come close to the lap time set by the 599XX! And even if it really isn’t a “production car” per se, who cares to be honest! The car is mind blowing!
If you would like to get your hands on the street legal version of the Ferrari 599XX, we offer a variety of Ferrari models in our rental fleet! Please refrain from trying to set any lap records though while driving our cars; Southern California has some great roads, but they are best enjoyed at legal speeds!
