Ferrari 599 GTB Parts & Accessories

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano was introduced in 2006 as the successor to the 575 M Maranello, using a 6.0-liter version of the Ferrari-Maserati F140 V12 producing 620 horsepower and positioned in a new aluminum spaceframe chassis that provided a significantly larger, more powerful, and more technologically sophisticated front-engine Ferrari than any that had preceded it. The 599 GTB's combination of advanced aerodynamics, magnetorheological adaptive suspension, and a high-revving V12 with a peak at 8,400 rpm established a new benchmark for front-engine grand touring performance, earning Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year award and near-universal critical acclaim. Owners of the 599 GTB work with advanced electronic systems including the SCM2 magnetorheological dampers, electronic differential, and mannetino driver mode selector alongside the traditional mechanical service requirements of the high-displacement V12. The 599 GTB's aftermarket is well-developed for a relatively modern Ferrari, with exhaust systems, suspension upgrades, and carbon fiber components available from multiple suppliers.

Popular Upgrades

Aftermarket exhaust systems from Capristo, Novitec, and Fabspeed transform the 599 GTB's already impressive V12 sound profile into something more aggressive and theatrical without compromising reliability. SCM2 magnetorheological damper service and fluid maintenance are specific to the 599 GTB's adaptive suspension system, and refresh kits are available for owners whose dampers have developed the characteristic soft response of aging magnetorheological fluid. Suspension components including control arm bushings, anti-roll bar links, and correct-spec replacement dampers restore handling precision on cars that have accumulated suspension wear. Brake compound upgrades from Ferodo and Pagid, along with cross-drilled rotor upgrades, address the elevated thermal demands of 620-horsepower track use on standard cast-iron rotors.

Performance and Handling

The 599 GTB's aluminum spaceframe is 40 percent lighter than the equivalent steel structure while being 25 percent stiffer, providing the chassis rigidity foundation that the SCM2 adaptive suspension needs to deliver its full performance benefit. The 6.0-liter V12's 620 horsepower and flat torque curve make the 599 GTB genuinely fast in a grand touring context, with the front-engine rear-transaxle layout providing the near-50/50 weight distribution that gives the car its unexpectedly agile handling character for its size. Upgrading from the standard SCM2 system to externally adjustable aftermarket dampers provides more precise control over suspension behavior at the track, where the adaptive system's single-setting compromise between comfort and sport may not match a specific driver's preferred setup. Correct tire management on the 599 GTB's 20-inch wheels is important given the car's substantial aerodynamic downforce at speed, which loads the tire contact patches more heavily than many comparable grand touring cars.

What maintenance does the Ferrari 599 GTB magnetorheological suspension require?

The SCM2 magnetorheological dampers use a special fluid containing iron particles that change viscosity in response to a magnetic field, allowing the damping rate to be varied in milliseconds. Over time, the iron particles in the fluid can settle and the fluid's rheological properties change, causing the dampers to lose their full range of adjustment and develop a softer, less responsive character. Refreshing the magnetorheological fluid and inspecting the electromagnetic coils in each damper restores the full range of adaptive response and is recommended when the suspension feels uniformly soft across all driving modes.

What are the most popular exhaust upgrades for the Ferrari 599 GTB?

Capristo's electronically controlled exhaust is the most widely installed aftermarket system on the 599 GTB, offering selectable sound modes and genuine weight savings over the factory system while maintaining all existing control electronics. Novitec's cat-back systems offer a more permanently aggressive sound character for owners who want the 599 GTB's V12 to be heard at full voice at all times. Fabspeed systems are popular with US-market 599 GTB owners for their competitive pricing combined with meaningful improvements in exhaust note and modest power gains from reduced back-pressure through higher-flow catalytic converters.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Parts in this collection are cataloged for the Ferrari 599 GTB's 6.0-liter V12 aluminum spaceframe chassis and SCM2 adaptive suspension system, with fitment notes that distinguish GTB Fiorano-specific items from those shared with the 599 GTO and SA Aperta variants.
