Ferrari has laid out its stall for the FoS and the star will be the first UK showing - and the only one in 2006 -- of the all new 599 GTB Fiorano.
This 620hp, V12 masterpiece combines Ferrari design with race-developed technology from Ferrari's F1 team. Powered by a 5,999cc engine first seen in the Enzo supercar, this car will join the Supercar Run each day.
Goodwood will also be the first opportunity to see a unique Ferrari 612 Scaglietti personalised by the design team from the lifestyle magazine Wallpaper. This car features a number of interior and exterior design elements tailored specifically to reflect the style of Wallpaper and Ferrari together. The car also incorporates the Handling GTC pack.
Ferrari has always been an innovator in the automotive world and at Goodwood Festival of Speed there will be a unique opportunity to see the winning designs of the global competition called "Ferrari: New Concepts of the Myth" which presents the ideas and thoughts of the best students from four of the most respected car design schools worldwide (College for Creative Studies of Detroit, Coventry University – School of Art and Design, European Institute of Design of Turin and Tokyo Communication Arts). The 20 models – in 1:4 scale – will be on show in the Stable Yard at Goodwood, the only opportunity to see the display in this country.
The Festival of Speed will also be the first opportunity for guests to discover the Ferrari Classiche programme, where Ferrari clients can receive certification of authenticity for their cherished cars, technical assistance, maintenance and restoration as required.
A beautifully preserved Ferrari 275 GTB4, one of the first to be authenticated by the Ferrari Classiche programme will be exhibited in the official Ferrari area. Among a range of rare, priceless and beautiful Ferrari cars there will be one of only 29 FXX in the world, the Formula 1 World Championship winning F2004 driven by Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro test driver Marc Gené, and a stunning 1959 Ferrari 250 LWB California Spider.
This year Ferrari has created a very special area in the Stable Yard at the Goodwood Festival of Speed to present the entire range of road cars, the "Ferrari: New Concepts of the Myth" exhibition and the preview of the Ferrari Classiche programme.
