VIDEO: Ferrari 599 GTO Spied on the Nurburgring


There's been a lot of talk lately about Ferrari's plans to revive the GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato) nameplate in its lineup with a special edition version of its 599 GTB Fiorano. Now, a Youtube user has uploaded a short video of what appears to be a prototype model of the 599 GTO testing at the Nurburgring.

The first GTO since the launch of the iconic 288 GTO in 1984 (see picture on the left) is said to be a stripped-down version of the standard 599 GTB fitted with exotic materials and a pumped up 6.0-liter V12 producing over 650 horsepower.

It is believed that the 599 GTO will break cover at this fall's Paris Motor Show. Until we find out more details, follow the jump to watch the video.
