Ferrari 599XX Evo

At £2,500,000 used, the Ferrari 599XX Evo sits 32nd in price among the 600 cars in Dream Car Garage, a position that places it above 568 cars in cost. The more interesting comparison is with the single nearest car in the catalogue, because this Ferrari occupies a very specific space: it combines a top 13% power ranking with a naturally aspirated V12 and rear wheel drive, a combination shared by just 41 cars in the collection.

The 599XX Evo’s place in the catalogue is defined by focus. Its 730 bhp ranks 78th out of 600 cars, while its 0 to 100 km/h time of 2.9 seconds is faster than 517 cars in the same set. Its top speed of 315 km/h places it 198th, showing that its identity is not built around a single headline figure, but around a collection of numbers that point in the same direction. The two seater coupe body style, track-only category, and rear wheel drive layout create a very particular entry in a garage of 600 choices.

The foundation of that character is the Ferrari formula represented here: an Italian car from a manufacturer founded in 1939, using a 6.0 litre naturally aspirated V12 with 700 Nm of torque. Of the 600 cars catalogued, only 90 use a V12 engine layout, and 68 combine that layout with rear wheel drive. The 599XX Evo sits within an even narrower group of naturally aspirated V12 cars, where only 54 examples across the catalogue share that engine approach. The cost per bhp figure of £3,425 also places the price into perspective, reflecting the level of commitment attached to this type of machine.

For a collector, the 599XX Evo represents a very specific choice. It suits the person building a garage around distinctive engineering categories rather than broad coverage, someone who wants a Ferrari track-only two seater coupe with a naturally aspirated V12 at its centre. With Ferrari accounting for 53 cars in the catalogue and Italy contributing 118 cars overall, this model stands apart through its combination of attributes rather than through volume alone. It is the kind of car that defines a collection’s most focused corner, where the purpose behind the car matters as much as the space it occupies.
