No matter what they say, I have always found this a rather cynical application of the GTO moniker, when you consider what wore the badge previously. The 288 GTO was on my wall as a kid, and would be a Euromillions purchase in a heartbeat if the numbers came in. This though? Just another special edition 599 in my mind: sorry!
Agree - sort of felt like they did as little as possible to justify it being a "special". Sort of felt the GTO moniker deserved a bit more....BigChiefmuffinAgain said:

Nicely specced GTO.
Comedy price. The car should be £499k at most.
Corbyn gets in and it'll be worth £5.99
Wow, that much? Comedy price. The car should be £499k at most.

£700k - really?? Just because it’s a Ferrari and it’s rare doesn’t mean it’s worth more than its list price. Especially when its faster, smaller - yet no less spacious inside - more nimble, lighter, better built, etc, etc, F12/812 successors are available for a fraction of the cost
Maybe. But we could say that about many things...the reality is that the Market surprises us from time to time. The1Driver said:

SavageWhat a debacle this car is. Ferrari were struggling big time when they cane up with this thing to help shift a few more. The fact that they had to dig out the Crown Jewels GTO badge to sell them is just embarrassing. It’s a bit rubbish to look at, it’s too fat, and it’s way too expensive for what it is. Jay Kay’s vastly superior F12 TDF sold for £605k at the weekend with only a few miles more on the clock. This thing has no right to be over £500k.
