The Ferrari 599 Barchetta

by Alex

Ferrari has been putting forward the name for Ferrari 599 Spider. It appears that the Ferrari has decided to dispel all doubts and guess works around the name by freezing on “Ferrari 599 Barchetta” as official name to its spyder version. Some people were expecting something like SuperAmerica.

The announcement seems to have been made by Ferrari’s boss Luca di Montezemolo himself. The has been decided to be unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance that would be held from August 13 to August 15 this year. Ferrari has decided that the Roadster will go on sale in the summer of 2011 at a price of 300,000 euro i.e. approximately $370,000 at the current currency conversion rates. The production of unit will be limited to only 30 numbers.

The 599 Barchetta will be powered by a V12 engine that will develop a total of 645 HP (remember the coupe version delivered a total of 620 HP). This will help the sedan to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in about 4 second. The luxury car can run in top speed of 198 mph. The car will also feature an electric folding hardtop. The car lovers who were expecting to see numbers close to the 599 GTO, may not feel very excited.
