Spotted in Dubai - F139

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in Dubai

I may be ignorant about cars, but I sure can spot and appreciate a good looking car. The Car in the picture (apologies for my shoddy pic) is the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - identification courtesy my buddy Marwan, the walking Bible of Cars. While other people walked by with perhaps a glance, trust Marwan to fill me in as to why this is no ordinary Ferrari on the road side.


What's so special about the car? It was released in November 2006 with a price tag of between $250,000 and $260,000 and a two-year wait. That's nearly a million dirhams, but then money talks and rules can be bent about the waiting period. The car is already made a debut in Dubai and guess what we saw two of them in one night! What's the chances of that? In Dubai, anything is possible.


The company claims a 3.7 second sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 11.0 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph). If only there was a road in Dubai to hit that speed! Well if you are a car freak - Check out the links and pictures below. After all a Ferrari is a Ferrari!
