"Ferrari brought two new versions of the 599 GTB Fiorano to its show stand in Switzerland \u2014 a handling package, called the HGTE (for Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione), as well as the 599XX, which will no doubt prove to be one of the world&amp;#039;s greatest track-day cars.   The &amp;quot;select group of clients&amp;quot; who buy the Ferrari 599XX (which is not designed for competition use) will be getting a car that the company says &amp;quot;incorporates the most advanced technologies resulting from Ferrari&amp;#039;s road-going and Formula 1 research.&amp;quot; The output of the 599&amp;#039;s 6.0-liter V-12 was increased from 611 bhp to 700 bhp (DIN) through modifications to its combustion chambers and inlet and exhaust tracts; redline was raised to 9000 rpm (from 8400).   Ferrari says the 599XX features a &amp;quot;plethora of aerodynamic, electronic control and handling innovations used together for the first time on a single car, making this model a genuine technological laboratory.&amp;quot; One of those innovations is what Ferrari calls the &amp;quot;Actiflow&amp;quot; system, which increases downforce or cuts drag depending on the car&amp;#039;s cornering attitude, &amp;quot;courtesy of the use of a porous material in the diffuser and two fans in the trunk which channel the air flow from under the car out through the two grilles next to the taillights.&amp;quot; Ferrari says the 599XX produces 617 lb. of downforce at 124 mph and almost 1400 lb. of downforce at 186 mph. The F1-derived &amp;quot;doughnuts&amp;quot; partly covering the wheels and brake discs improve both aerodynamics and brake cooling.   Speaking of the brakes, the 599XX&amp;#039;s carbon-ceramic brake system now uses carbon pads, which allow for smaller calipers and, hence, even more weight savings, while further pounds were shaved by the car&amp;#039;s extensive use of carbon-fiber body panels. The car&amp;#039;s extra power, active downforce devices, improved grip (the 599XX uses 19-in. slicks front and rear) and reduced weight resulted in a lap time of 1 minute 17 sec. around Ferrari&amp;#039;s Fiorano race track.   Ferrari will organize a series of track days specifically for owners of the 599XX in 2010 and 2011. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
