Ferrari has just filed a patent for a new type of door opening that will make it very easy to get in and out of the low sports cars from Maranello.

The doors will include part of the front wing and will hinge upward, a solution that will allow the driver to place his foot directly behind the front wheel. This is an easy and cost-effective solution, according to Ferrari, preferable to the “traditional” gullwing doors.

The word on the street seems to be that Ferrari is working on a special edition of its powerful V12 599GTB.

The concept, similar to that of the 430 Scuderia, is to make a lighter, more aerodynamic and more powerful 599.

It appears that it could be named the 599 GTO, in honor of the 1960s 250 GTO.

Our friends at MotorAuthority.com say:

The 599’s venerable 6.0-liter V-12 is expected to be pumped up to between 680 and 700 horsepower, and this is to be accompanied by an extensive weight-saving program shedding up to 150 pounds from the car’s kerb weight.

Pictured below, is the “Laboratorio Tecnologico 599xx”, an even more extreme experimental car based on the 599, which is unfortunately less likely to ever see the light.

A few months ago a new record has been set.

In Maranello at the “Ferrari Leggenda e Passione”, a very rare 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa was put up for auction.

And it sold for a staggering $12.1 million

This is officially the most anyone has EVER spent on a car.

The previous record was another Ferrari, specifically a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California, that had been bought by british DJ Chris Evans for $10million. The car had previously been owned by actor James Coburn for nearly 25 years!
