I have been thinking about it a bit reccently and believe that the HGTE might end up rarer than the GTO what with it being completely outshone. This won't effect the value, I would think, but it is rather interesting.

In London I only know of maybe 5-10 being spotted, but there have already been 12 GTO seen.

I would be interested to know what people think of it or is anyone has any ideas of production numbers, numbers in the UK?

I may be wrong here but I was under the impression this was an upgrade to the GTB and not a seperate model, as I had a call from my dealer offering the upgrade a long time ago. With that in mind I would think that it's going to be difficult to find numbers?

I'm not sure if that helps or not, if it doesn't then apologies.

As said above I got the offer from the dealer to upgrade too. If I rightly recall its a dealer/factory upgrade wheels/seats/exhaust and lower suspension alot of 599's have been specced with this from new now, so I think that the GTO will be worth alot more in the future. (just my opinion though)

I agree, the GTO is meant to be a swan song for Ferrari. The HGTE as mentioned above is similar to the Fiorano performance package offered on the late 575.

My money would be on the GTO to retain its value the most, naturally the HGTE cars will hold a small premium over the 'standard' 599.

don't the factory HGTE's have the stiching in the seats and obviously the dealer upgrade ones don't

the ferrari configurator lists the hgte as an individual model... so i guess you can either have a pure hgte 599 from the factory, or a 599 with hgte bits bolted to it...
