Time to experience the mythical beast! Much to my surprise, Dutton Garage NZ allowed me the opportunity to drive their Ferrari 599 GTO, and guess what, it was just as exciting as I always hoped it would be!
I looked at one of these Seriously thought about buying for collecting But it was 680000 american dollars Which I thought was 100000grand or more overpriced
I love these kind of videos, when you drive some of this "modern classics" with the same level of emotion that I would, not being a supercar owner and driving amazing cars on a daily basis! This makes me wish that you get to a point in the near future where you can start collecting this kinds of beasts too! Just imagine a Giallo Triplo Strato 599 GTO next to a solarbean yellow SLS Black Series!! Two of my all-time top-10 cars!
That GTO sounded like it is in need of a service a valve adjustment, when you open the hood and even when you first got in you could hear the valves hitting.
This would really be awesome though! Nice car to register in Germany, left hand drive ones can be found for "only" €500.000-€600.000,- :p. Can you imagine doing a road trip in a 599 GTO... I personally think it's a steal for that amount of money considering it is a limited production Ferrari. Cheapest limited production Ferrari you can buy probably? And the most monumental sound!
It's really awesome seeing you travel down roads I drive regularly myself. Disappointed I couldn't make it to the meet up due to other obligations, but hope you're enjoying the visit Shmee!
I have a lot of your down under vids to watch yet, but so glad you have had the best time in NZ!, I'm sure your time in Australia will be off the charts too!
Christchurch will have changed a bit since your last time there. Awesome test and amazing to see these cars here in NZ. Im sure Q town will be even more revealing...
I found myself at 14:38 haha. Thanks for coming to NZ and signing my phone, we hope to see you again in the future. Don't forget about the Nissan Gtr 34 and gtr 36 when you get the opportunity :)
I'm blown away again. My goodness Tim, do you ever sleep? What a wonderful example of the 599 GTO, total bucket list car for me. That car is only second for me to 599 XX evo, another pure beast. Must be the highlight of your current trip so far Tim. Awesome work, I am still looking forward to your upcoming Nordschleife visit. Cheers :)
That is my absolute favorite color spec on the 599 GTO that and Yellow with white stripe, I'm as excited to see you drive it as you were driving CLK GTR. Ok maybe not quite that much but omg
congrats on 1.2 mill Tim, u earnt it buddy, Ur in need a gtc4 lusso asap, all this time spending around Ferraris lately, sell the GT8 and get a lusso v12
@Shmee150, I suppose you may know by now that these electro-actuated single clutched manual transmissions do not need to be placed in neutral while coming to a halt. In fact, while coming to a stop the system automatically disengages the clutch (in the GranTurismo at 8km/h) before you come to a standstill. The GranTurismo and the 599 use the same system (Sofast4) and disengage the clutch while coming to a halt but keep the gear in position. So no need to put the car in neutral and make the hydraullic pump work hard for nothing…
Shmee u have to get a 599 .. it's only right. My dream car! Yes the McClaren is nice(price tag) & u have the GT Black series but THIS is the pinnacle to me. The dwn shifts & thay v12 is jst 😍😍😍😍 Pls add 1 of these to the garage
Hi Tim, to you a small request, with the test drive open the windows, that would be better to hear the sound of the engine on the move. Will be effective.

Shmee150 that prancing horse though XD
thanks for that Tim,one of my all time favourites...
GTO or tdf, Tim?
Aslo, is this gearbox better than the one in 2017 Aventador S?
9:50 when the vtec kicks in
I looked at one of these Seriously thought about buying for collecting But it was 680000 american dollars Which I thought was 100000grand or more overpriced
599 GTO a legendary ferrari.
What do you think about the ferrari 488 pista Tim?
Still one of the best cars ever to be produced.
Meh
+Amazing Cars Switzerland Undoubtedly.

edcunhaph Nero Opaco 599 GTO 😍😍😍
I don't know for you guys but the 599 GTO is an instant click for me
Definitely, I love this thing!
absolutely and its price is still very high man
Mohamed Sagna I think that the price will only go up now
excatly it just shows the quality of the car straight up
Mohamed Sagna yes
That's a beautiful car and your content is as continuous and perfect as ever. Good job posting these videos at such a regular basis
Totally gorgeous
I love the 599 GTO. It’s one of my favourite Ferrari’s. I really envy you. Lucky git
That GTO sounded like it is in need of a service a valve adjustment, when you open the hood and even when you first got in you could hear the valves hitting.
there was definitely a metallic tick with the bonnet up, I wouldn't buy it with that noise
Could it be from the timing belt/chain
It sounded like a diesel lol
Brandon Reid preowned car with 11k miles on it.
Yes I thought it sounded a bit like my vehicle (I drive a London Black cab) I didn't want to say anything until I saw the other comments
I never saw Shmee with this kind of "emoción"!! What a Sound!! Epic!!
If you've done the video, yes they did.
Smart logic
Haha i was about to comment that! 😂
Next video buying a 599 GTO
Good idea!
Shmee150 lol
The 599 GTO is one of my fav Ferrairis but only 599 of them where built... I LOVE FERRARIS! You have the best Live man!
Rimac coming soon...

hope you had a great time in NZ, videos have been great. such a great supercar culture over there.
I am so glad you have received a great welcome in New Zealand in Auckland and Christchurch and I sure Queenstown will show you a good time!
I have a lot of your down under vids to watch yet, but so glad you have had the best time in NZ!, I'm sure your time in Australia will be off the charts too!
Thanks for ride Shmee, What an awesome classic Ferrari.
Christchurch will have changed a bit since your last time there. Awesome test and amazing to see these cars here in NZ. Im sure Q town will be even more revealing...
The best sounding car ever made. Absolute dream car. Couldn't care less about the Laf and F12 TDF. I want a 599 GTO.
The best sounding V12 Ferrari 😍😍 The dream! 599 GTO and 360 Challenge Stradale!
Not this particular vehicle , engine was abused and not taken care of
I found myself at 14:38 haha. Thanks for coming to NZ and signing my phone, we hope to see you again in the future. Don't forget about the Nissan Gtr 34 and gtr 36 when you get the opportunity :)
Thanks Shmee you took me for a drive on the car i love the most Ferrari always love them cars
I'm blown away again. My goodness Tim, do you ever sleep? What a wonderful example of the 599 GTO, total bucket list car for me. That car is only second for me to 599 XX evo, another pure beast.

I love you Shmee, thank you so much for sharing this. 599 GTO my all time fav car 😚
Best sounding V12 ever. Its downshifts are heavenly
Thank you for driving it. It is still my favorite car. Love the 599 GTO!
the 599 GTO is a real beast and amazing supercar...so lucky!
First! Another Amazing video Shmee. Loving your work my good man.
This has always been my favorite Ferrari since it came out. It’s just perfect!
Fairly British weather, I see. But that V12 sure didn't let down.
AliensHaveArrived I know dude. It's just an expression, seeing that British weather always follows him around.
Actually over here the weather is quite bipolar, it changes quickly :p
599 GTO has to be a all time favourite.
Can’t wait to see the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake out on the roads, that’s another practical exotic GT car for ya
the sound of GTO is mind blowing! just absolutely epic!
That guy in the background 😂😂 “Hey kid, you can’t be here. Shmee150 is filming a video!” 😂😂
Cheers mate. Was nice to meet you. My son Hayden was glad you mentioned the R34 GTR at the end 😂
I love the 599 GTO. My favorite of all the recent Front engined Ferraris.
You definitely have to consider buying yourself an other ferrari with a V12! I hope you will soon ! :)
It’s so cool to see you driving a Ferrari down the road I used to take to work
That is my absolute favorite color spec on the 599 GTO that and Yellow with white stripe, I'm as excited to see you drive it as you were driving CLK GTR. Ok maybe not quite that much but omg
Absolutely amazing car and what a sound. One of the best modern day Ferrari’s
congrats on 1.2 mill Tim, u earnt it buddy, Ur in need a gtc4 lusso asap, all this time spending around Ferraris lately, sell the GT8 and get a lusso v12
Nobody's going to buy it in Orange and blue lol
Agree
Why would you sell a track toy which sounds that good and looks that good for a wanna be family car just because of the engine.
because v12 is fucking bae and he never drives the gt8, he has a 675 lt for the track, why need 2
This is a real beast! One of the best ferrari ever made
599 GTO. The favorites of the favorites, for me. I love it
One of the most desirable and hard core sounding cars on the road to this date. Rev shifting seems pretty fast.
....you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to do a video with one of these....my favorite ferrari..
Great video and a Ferrari I have lusted after as well! Thanks!
What a awesome car thanks Tim.And congrats on hitting 1.2m subs.
My favorite Ferrari of all time ❤️
9:07 shmees voice got all smooth and cool for a sec
Thanks Tim for all your effort and vids... they're so awesome, we love You Tube and you're helping make it even more interesting. ... Really! 😘🤟👊❤
Best content to date mate .... EPIC !!!👌👌👌
One of my favourite cars and Ferrari's ever!
I was shocked the first time I saw 599 live. It is indeed a big, big car.
Shmee the name sounds like a really exotic icecream
Gelato indeed
This was a sweet review, so nice to see the 599 GTO
Shmee always has a smile on his face😃
@Shmee150, I suppose you may know by now that these electro-actuated single clutched manual transmissions do not need to be placed in neutral while coming to a halt. In fact, while coming to a stop the system automatically disengages the clutch (in the GranTurismo at 8km/h) before you come to a standstill.

So no need to put the car in neutral and make the hydraullic pump work hard for nothing…
So what's the Doug score?
Wrong channel I'm afraid
Shmee150 xd
Shmee150 or is it?
Mashetekiller lets leave doug out of this shmee has a much better channel
LOLOLOLOLOL
Shmee u have to get a 599 .. it's only right. My dream car! Yes the McClaren is nice(price tag) & u have the GT Black series but THIS is the pinnacle to me. The dwn shifts & thay v12 is jst 😍😍😍😍
Pls add 1 of these to the garage
That's crazy, you drove the the gto the exact way I go to work everyday,,,, would have been crazy to see that on the road
Nice,very nice and the 1st i've seen with a white rev dial....cool
Buy It Now Shmee! The intake noise is AWESOME
My favourite sounding super car ever. Sounds better when one screams past you.
BEST CAR CHANNEL EVER!!
Keep up the good work❤️✊
OMG that GTO is something!
I was shocked tim when you said you had never driven a 599 gto before .
I like the colour coordinated intros!
Hi Tim, to you a small request, with the test drive open the windows, that would be better to hear the sound of the engine on the move. Will be effective.
Amazing sound. AND OMG THAT R34!!!!!!
i saw a grey 599 yesterday
that thing is beautiful
Not surprised that the 599 GTO is part of my dream garage. The new cars just can't get to that level of engagement.
You really should drive the port hills on banks peninsula. My old stomping ground
That 458 in black looks awesome, alot different from seeing them in red all the time.
Have you ever been flashed by a speed camera on one of these test drives @shmee150
That's what I like about a V12 Ferrari, aggressive Down shift and very angry V12 roaring at the background.
Siick..i never expected that drive or price tag for that Ferrari
Wow great Ferrari right there, nice opportunity you got!
Shmee you're already on 1.2 MIL followers?!? That's mad
Another V12 Ferrari you have a good taste Tim.
It does sound heavenly.
Goal reached when your classic car gets a slight mention in a shmee video
Such an awesome experience!😍🎧🔥
It's 6208 ccm, hence 6,3 Liters
That's how they measure in Germany
- at least when it comes to Taxes -
08:25 Oh yeah that downshift 👍❤️
Super Duper cool and that's fast! Really Fast on it's turbo.
Nice! :D
(Read This and the comment)
Next to the F40, this is my dream car Ferrari.
Time seriously just stands still with Ferrari
If I was buying a supercar it would be the 599 gto. Too cool 😎
Tim you need another Ferrari V12 in your life!!
One day in Wonderland. 🤩
More lifter tick than my mx5 :p
Its bonkers seeing a youtuber from across the globe in my hometown! 😂
best sounding downshifts in the world!
Nothing like a Ferrari v12. I need to drive one I think Jeremy Clarkson was onto something about driving a v12 it’s different to any other engine.
What makes it rev and fall back to idle so quick, lightweight flywheel? I love it.
I'd love to see the Mercedes in front of the Ferrari. Looks stunning from the little glimpses.
Why not that porsche 😂😂😂 love the content Shmee!!
Best Ferrari ever made. In my opinion
06:17 Glorious manual handbrake 👌! Before the electronic handbrake nonsense....
Not the biggest fan of the spec on the SLS Roadster, we need more options and Iridium Silver. :)
Something needs adjustment solitary metallic clicking , is not normal even cold , valve adjustment , but a great video in a great car .
