Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Kahn
Author: Robin Brown
Published: 18 November 2008
Here at MotorTorque we're generally of the opinion that modded cars are generally something to be avoided. So imagine our surprise when the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano by Kahn turned out actually looking pretty damn good.<.B>
It's all pretty subtle, a word generally unkown to the tuning house fraternity, though a set of large Kahn Carbon F1-X magnesium alloys and new valve caps are apparent. And that's about it from a stylistic point of view.
Under the bonnet the 6.0-litre V12 gets an enhanced engine note, and the 599 rides on a lowered suspension.
An arm-long list of options is also available, though if the 599 by Kahn teaches us anything it's surely that less is more.
