Ferrari Since 1947
Location: Berlin
This 599 GTO is one of the nicest ones across the globe. The 599 GTO is hyper cool itself, being one of the best-sounding V12 Ferraris out there, having a very aggressive but also stylish appearance and being limited to only 599 cars.
This particular one is extremely bespoke. It features brown accents across the car. The middle-strip is brown, all of the carbon fibre parts are colored dark-brown with a golden sparkling effect, this also includes the wheels and Ferrari badges.
It's one of the nicest vehicles to have existed in Berlin, especially when looking at it in 2021.
The three fathers of GTO can be called the engineers of Pontiac - Russell Gee (engine specialist), Bill Collins (chassis specialist) and chief engineer John DeLorean. In early 1963 GM management issuaed and edict banning divisions from involvment in auto racing. At the time Pontiac's main focus was on performance, hence racing was an inportant component of the strategy. But when GM banned factory sponsored racing, Pontiac's young, visionary management turned its attention to emphasizing street performance. The name GTO was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO and it was DeLorean's idea. GTO in italian is Gran Turismo Omonogato (Grand Tourer Homologated - english). In other words - officially certified for racing in the Grand tourer class.
The GTO was basically a violation of GM policy limiting the A-body intermediate line to a maximum engine displacement of 330 cu in (5.4 L). Since the GTO was an option package and not standard equipment, it could be considered to fall into a loophole in the policy. Pontiac General Manager Elliot "Pete" Estes approved the new model, although sales manager Frank Bridge, who did not believe it would find a market, insisted on limiting initial production to no more than 5,000 cars. Had the model been a failure, Estes likely would have been reprimanded. As it turned out, it was a great success.
Pontiac GTO have experienced four generations an is still alive. This GTO model is from the very last - fourth generation. It started its era in 2004, relaunched in US, based on the Holden Monaro's V platform. It also become quite popular among so called Tuner's generation. And thos model is not an exception. It has modified body kit - fattened mudguard areas, modified bumpers, hood. It also uses modified interior as well as large wheels to feel more racy. Huge V8 under the hood, 17 studs wide, little more than 37 studs long, blue with blue/black sporty interior. Quite roomy for a race car. Rear seats features foldable armrest at the middle.

Street Muscle Legends - Chapter 6
GTO or GTFO.
Credited with paving the way for the muscle car trend, the GTO appeared on the scene in the mid ’60s with serious attitude, big power and the looks to match. An outstanding example arrived at the shop recently for the PYP stance treatment and a new tuning profile that's been putting smiles on all the faces :)
I hope you enjoy!
