This is a Ferrari 599XX. Designed by Miroslav Dimitrov, the 599XX is a track-only iteration of the 599 GTB Fiorano part of Ferrari's XX Program. Powered by a 6.0L F140 CF V12 pumping out 720 BHP and a distinctive screech mated to a 6-speed semi-auto transmission, the 599XX features numerous aerodynamic enhancements over the standard 599. The 599XX features dual winglets on the C-pillar and a ducktail spoiler for increased downforce, a vented hood, a large rear diffuser, tow hooks and a minimalistic racing interior. The car also features two fans in the trunk which work to keep the car on the ground until it reaches 155 mph (249 km/h), at which point no additional downforce is required.
The car is fitted with F1-inspired carbon ceramic brakes with cross-drilled rotors named "Wheel Donuts" as well as a new race exhaust system. A road version of the 599XX, the 599 GTO, was later introduced in 2010. In late 2011, an enhanced version, the 599XX Evoluzione, was unveiled; it features a massive active wing, a rerouted exhaust system and slightly higher power. And no, you still cannot drive it on public roads, no, it still will not dig into the ground, and no, it is still absolutely incapable of 320 mph (515 km/h) under any circumstances in real life. 44 were produced.
Now this casting was designed by John Violette and introduced in 2010 in the Speed Machines line of Hot Wheels cars. This casting has seen nine known releases, including two Super Treasure Hunt releases, and was last seen in 2015. As Hot Wheels has lost their license with Ferrari, this casting is not likely to return any time soon.
