Photo of the Week: Ferrari 599 GTO shot in Belgium

Photo of the Week: Ferrari 599 GTO in Belgium

An incredible picture of a Ferrari 599 GTO has already made its way into our ?Photo of the Week? a couple of weeks back, and even though the latest addition to our weekly promotion of stunning car photography features the same car, the following GTO shot by Willem Rodenburg showcases Ferrari?s fastest production car from a completely different angle.

Shot in a desolate forest in Brasschaet, Antwerp, Belgium the 599 GTO is showcased from a high-angle which helps to capture the aggressive stance of the car, while the light bursting through the trees directly behind the car help to create one of our very favorite GTO photos.

Being Ferrari?s fastest production car produced to date, and despite the upcoming F70 set to supersede the old Enzo and the 599 GTO, it still produces an impressive 660HP at 8,250 rpm and 457lb-ft of torque thanks to the 6.0-liter V12 engine directly behind the front axle.

As a result, the 599 GTO can launch to 62 mph in less than 3.4 seconds before hitting a top speed of 208 mph.

Be sure to check out Rodenburg?s facebook and flickr pages!
