Ferrari is to make a very limited-run model called 600 GTO, according to reports on the 'net this week. This is said to be based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, but with carbonfibre roof and bodypanels, and other measures to reduce weight by 285kg, lower suspension and a lower centre of gravity, revised aerodynamics for greater downforce, and modified styling. Reports are divided as yet as to whether further race-ready mods include the deletion of air conditioning and sound system, and the fitment of lighter-weight seats in place of the standard leather chairs; some sources say that the weight reduction has been achieved without losing any mod cons.
The 600 GTO has been commissioned by an American customer, thought to be planning to revive the dealer-founded Ferrari North American Race Team (NART) which raced between 1958-82, and to start an owners' championship. Three cars are said to be under construction, and may be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show this autumn.
