Time for an Arabian adventure with a ādune-findā Ferrari 599 GTB and another episode of #DriveEveryFerrari.
TheCarGuys head to Dubai to explore the vibrant car scene and drive one of the forgotten Ferraris ā often overlooked in favour of the F12 and the 575M. This particular sand-ravaged 599 was rescued from the desert and completely restored by its owner.
The big question is ā whatās the 599 like to drive? How does it compare to the F12. Which would you rather buy? Whatās the history of the 2-seater front-engined V12 Ferrari? And what does the Enzo-derived 6 litre V12 sound like at full chat? All these questions and more will be covered in this weekās episode.

Brilliant idea Damian, in Dubai you easily find every Ferrari to drive

Both amazing cars but I feel the 599 will age like a fine wine and will eventually be the more desirable of the two.

Another great instalment in the series. I think you're absolutely right. The 599 is the bang for buck V12 sleeper in the range (even though unattainable for most mere mortals). What a wonderful thing.

2:30 I vividly remember seeing the impressively slick functional flying buttress design for the first time at an auto show back in the day. It still makes the 599 stand out. On looks alone I far prefer the 599 to the 550, 575, or the F12.

Great video and honest review Damien as always although at present the difference in price between comparable F12ās and 599 GTBās is c.Ā£70k which in the real world doesnāt make these cars truly comparable. Both look great and have amazing engines however one is also definitely a rawer and more exciting driving experience largely due to its older single clutch gearbox and the other is far more digital although engineering wise bar for the steering a superior car (interior will/has date quicker) so the true choice I would say comes down to your driving expectations or preference but also for most simply your budget. Value wise I suspect the F12 has a small margin to fall and the 599 is undervalued (HGTEās arguably less so - GTB certainly the bargain of the Ferrari world at present) and the gap between the two I would have thought at c.Ā£20-Ā£30k would be more appropriate- neither should ever be sub Ā£100k cars simply due to their performance/looks/name/rarity.

I own one as well as a 997.1 GT3. Iām not sure if the one Damian is driving here wasnāt really totally rebuilt to the highest standard and the suspension isnāt the best. But I have to disagree totally about the handling.
Put my 599 in race mode and it corners extremely well and on the limit it doesnāt feel overly intimidating in the dry. The traction control system works very well, sport gives you some slippage but I do feel it comes in too soon, race letās the back end slide some more but corrects in a very predictable way.
As I said I also own a GT3 and Iām amazed what a 599 can do. The engine is a masterpiece. I have also owned a 360CS, 430 and many Porsches.
For me itās a keeper and definitely a Ferrari thatās gone under the radar for a long time.
I think Chris Harris gives a better review of what itās like to drive, the power and handling. And he owned one for a time.

The 599 was the 1st V12 that I actually noticed from Ferrari. Before that I was always dreaming and thinking of the V8 mid's.
These days I'm bored by the V8 mid's and can only dream of a front mid V12. I must be getting old, 599 is the one I desire the most.

Itās a very elegant design that has aged really well. The F12 is still a bit āinstagramā if you know what I meanā¦. 599 for me. Great video and story.š

this is the best ferrari in terms of bang for buck. in additon, this is the last ferrari that can 'theoretically' be converted to a gated manual. you can buy it and have it converted and you have something very special if you add a brilliant or novitec exhaust, with a 599 gto tune. all in for cirica 100k

I love this series it's not just informative but it's entertaining.. I always look forward to the next vlog in the series! Love it!

Great review again! 599 GTO seems to be a masterpiece and this is its canvas. Prefer F12 but this has undeniable character. Wouldnāt buy F12 though because I prefer 812. 599 seems a lot bigger than the later cars though. Itās unusual that only one 2-seat model was produced from the 599 platform - that last happened with 365 GTB Daytona. 365/512 BB, Testarossa/512TR/512M, 550/575, F12/812.

599, f12, 812....not fussy .
Local shell station will love me..
Epic as ever..thanks..

Ha! I immediately recognised Jason's car, used to see it most days! Great story!

I would choose an F12 but I am biased. Enjoying the videos.

Amazing work as always!

Love the 599 GT0, the GTB no so much, but a manual converted 599 is perfect! The last time Ferrari won F1 was 2008 the constructors championship the most important one! The drives championshit always came second

This car depends on how well it was set up during itās rebuild. A friend absolutely swore by his 599 as being much better than his 550. Also Ferrari added a Handling Pack later and for completeness, yourself & all of us, would benefit if you could include one of those in Drive every Ferrari. Iām sure weād like to know if the Handling Pack made a real difference?
Many of us havenāt visited Dubai and your advice about speed-slowing humps is very useful! I live in Nottingham where speed humps & overhead averaging speed cameras rule in residential areas, but to put speed-slowing jumps on fast roads is just plain dangerous! I guess locals know where they are.
Your rundown on V12 history is really useful and the 330 GTC is worth a drive in for itās nimble track handling!
Your series is inspiring & I feel I just want to take my Ferrari out for some beans too! Thanks!

With all this research and the driving experience, I sense a Car Guys Drive Every Ferrari book opportunity. I for one would buy it. Keep up the great work Damian.

As a former 360 and 430 owner who owns a 599 now, I think the 599 is currently the best value V12 ferrari by far, really underrated. Imagine what you get: enzo engine, 330kmh, the best looks, a great GT. The F12 is probably as superior to the 599 as the 599 is superior to the 575, but right now you can get a 599 for 100-120kā¬ and and f12 starts at 200-220kā¬ so I don't really see the point in comparing them. I do see the point in comparing the 550-575 and 599 because they are currently the same price roughly. Last comment, maybe the car you tried has not been properly restored suspension wise (geometry, set-up...). My 599 obviously doesn't have a 458 speciale chassis, but IMHO still goes surprisingly well in corners for a big GT. And think about it... the recent 2022 BMW M2 weights 1.750kg... which is more than a 599 :D
