2008 Vandenbrink Ferrari 599 GTO Is Reality Review

May 2007
Filed under: FERRARI Car News | FERRARI Headlines
The Vandenbrink 599 GTO concept study received worldwide heartwarming acclaim by car connoisseurs and collectors. It became immediately evident we should realise this design and bring it on the road for selected customers.

The Vandenbrink GTO will be based on the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano platform. Blending outstanding GT characteristics with competitive sports capability, it is considered the state of the art in GT/sports chassis and drivetrain technology.

The aluminium coachbuilding will be performed by classic automobile restoration specialist and coachbuilder Alwin Hietbrink in the Netherlands. Hietbrink is worldwide known for his excellent aluminium craftsmanship in restoration and rebuilding projects such as the Ferrari 250 GTO, 250 GT SWB, 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT Drogo, 275 GTB, 365 GTB Daytona, 212 Vignale and many other types.

As only 5 Vandenbrink GTO's will be built, exceptional exclusivity is guaranteed.
We will be happy to honour your individual requests for personal specifications on e.g. color, interior, wheels, and coachwork styling details.

3 GTO's have been sold. We are currently taking orders for the remaining 2 cars.

Vandenbrink Design is an independent design & coachbuilding company, not in any way affiliated to Ferrari S.P.A.
