Ferrari’s engineering prowess reached an uncompromising peak in the 599XX Evo, an ultra-exclusive, track-only berlinetta developed under the marque’s revered XX Programme. Designed for Ferrari’s most dedicated clients, it represents the ultimate evolution of the front-engined V-12, conceived as both a high-performance laboratory and a privileged driving experience beyond the bounds of road or racing regulations.

Debuting in 2009, the original 599XX was based on the 599 GTB Fiorano, yet it shared little more than its silhouette with its road-going cousin. From the outset, it was intended as an experimental platform, an “unregulated” laboratory car created to test, evolve, and ultimately influence the future of Ferrari performance vehicles. The 599XX was engineered with extensive use of carbon fiber, cutting-edge electronics, and a highly tuned naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 producing 730 horsepower at a heady 9,000 rpm.

In 2011, Ferrari unveiled the Evo package, a comprehensive upgrade that took the already potent 599XX to the outer edges of performance. No mere cosmetic evolution, this was a metamorphosis: Power rose to 740 horsepower, torque to 516 pound-feet, and a shortened final drive ratio sharpened acceleration. But power was only part of the story. The Evo introduced one of the earliest applications of active aerodynamics in a Ferrari vehicle, including a Formula 1-inspired DRS (Drag Reduction System) integrated into a twin-profile rear wing. This system, governed by onboard sensors, adapted to throttle input, steering angle, and yaw to continuously optimize downforce and reduce drag at speed.

Other Evo upgrades included a lightweight exhaust system with side-exit outlets, revised suspension geometry, and bespoke, staggered Pirelli racing slicks which shod track-specific wheels. The result was astonishing: a Fiorano lap time of just 1 minute 15 seconds, placing the Evo comfortably ahead of even the Ferrari Enzo and many purpose-built GT racers.

Yet perhaps the most exclusive element of the 599XX Evo was the ownership experience itself. Cars were not sold in a traditional sense; they were assigned to Corse Clienti members who took part in curated, Ferrari-run track events across the globe. Ferrari transported, maintained, and supported each vehicle as part of a data-driven partnership with its owners, using feedback and telemetry to shape the next generation of performance Ferraris such as the LaFerrari and F12tdf.

Finished in striking Rosso Fuoco with a contrasting silver roof and rear wing, this exceptional example, chassis 175808, is equipped with extensive carbon fiber aerodynamic elements and the desirable Evo upgrade. The car’s windshield bears decals indicating its participation in a series of prestigious 599XX Programme events held at legendary circuits including the Nürburgring, Silverstone, Mugello, Daytona, and Bahrain. As is customary with all XX Programme vehicles, these appearances were part of Ferrari’s exclusive, invitation-only track events, offering privileged access to full factory technical support, real-time data analysis, and expert driver coaching in a thoroughly curated racing environment. Two specialized racing flight cases are included with the sale.

With fewer than 50 599XX units built, and fewer still believed to have received the Evo package, this machine remains one of the rarest and most technologically advanced front-engine Ferraris ever constructed. It offers the chance to not only acquire an engineering masterpiece, but an apex experimental vehicle from the world’s most storied marque.
