Bring your Diablo to the FCA drive in Brown Co this Sat and you might hear is at high revs.

A wild car though. Super attention to detail, like shaved 28 lbs out of the exhaust pipes with thinner wall material. At least the flying butresses make part of the car look like a 308, for that we can all rejoice.

(From Jalopnik) And then there's the powerplant — an Enzo-derived 6-liter V12 will let the 599 GTO take to the streets with 670 galloping horses and 457 lb/ft of torque to motivate its "svelte" 3,296 lb body. That means this latest V12 berlinetta delivers a 0-to-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.35 seconds and a max speed of over 208 MPH. But, just as importantly, a Fiorano lap time of just one minute and 24 seconds — making it the fastest road-going model in the history of Ferrari.
