Did They Really Let Me Drive the Ferrari 599 GTO?! | TEST DRIVE

- The Ferrari 599 GTO has alluded me to date, but no longer! Thanks to Dutton Garage in Christchurch, NZ, ahead of the Shmeeting they let me take the keys and go out for the a drive in the seriously special, limited Ferrari model that wears the GTO badge. Does it live up to expectations?
The 599 GTO launched around the time of my CZcams channel getting started, and as such it was one of the most exciting cars to film in those early days. I remember when an owner once invited me to take a seat in his car and have a look at it in more detail like it was yesterday. Since then I have been lucky enough to drive many of my dream cars but the Ferrari 599 GTO is one that has not made it onto that list - until now!
Thanks to Dutton Garage NZ in Christchurch, that became a checked item on the bucket list. With an organised Shmeeting on the cards to meet and greet you guys, I arrived early when they invited me to then take the keys to a car of my choice for an experience out on the roads. Naturally this was the pick, so off I went!
This particular car being RHD makes it significantly rarer as Ferrari did not produce many, and then the choice of colour scheme just makes it even better.
A huge thanks goes to Dutton Garage and the team there for the opportunity to drive the GTO and also their help in running the meet at the dealership. Give them a follow to see their latest supercars at: / duttongaragenz
Thanks for watching, Tim

Time to experience the mythical beast! Much to my surprise, Dutton Garage NZ allowed me the opportunity to drive their Ferrari 599 GTO, and guess what, it was just as exciting as I always hoped it would be!
Shmee150 that prancing horse though XD
thanks for that Tim,one of my all time favourites...
GTO or tdf, Tim?
Aslo, is this gearbox better than the one in 2017 Aventador S?
9:50 when the vtec kicks in
I looked at one of these Seriously thought about buying for collecting But it was 680000 american dollars Which I thought was 100000grand or more overpriced
599 GTO a legendary ferrari.
What do you think about the ferrari 488 pista Tim?
Still one of the best cars ever to be produced.
Meh
+Amazing Cars Switzerland Undoubtedly.
@@Co-km6cl huh
That's a beautiful car and your content is as continuous and perfect as ever. Good job posting these videos at such a regular basis
Totally gorgeous
I love these kind of videos, when you drive some of this "modern classics" with the same level of emotion that I would, not being a supercar owner and driving amazing cars on a daily basis!
This makes me wish that you get to a point in the near future where you can start collecting this kinds of beasts too!
Just imagine a Giallo Triplo Strato 599 GTO next to a solarbean yellow SLS Black Series!! Two of my all-time top-10 cars!
edcunhaph Nero Opaco 599 GTO 😍😍😍
hope you had a great time in NZ, videos have been great. such a great supercar culture over there.
I have a lot of your down under vids to watch yet, but so glad you have had the best time in NZ!, I'm sure your time in Australia will be off the charts too!
I am so glad you have received a great welcome in New Zealand in Auckland and Christchurch and I sure Queenstown will show you a good time!
First! Another Amazing video Shmee. Loving your work my good man.
It's really awesome seeing you travel down roads I drive regularly myself. Disappointed I couldn't make it to the meet up due to other obligations, but hope you're enjoying the visit Shmee!
I love you Shmee, thank you so much for sharing this. 599 GTO my all time fav car 😚
I don't know for you guys but the 599 GTO is an instant click for me
Definitely, I love this thing!
absolutely and its price is still very high man
Mohamed Sagna I think that the price will only go up now
excatly it just shows the quality of the car straight up
Mohamed Sagna yes
I love the 599 GTO. It’s one of my favourite Ferrari’s. I really envy you. Lucky git
Thanks for ride Shmee, What an awesome classic Ferrari.
Best content to date mate .... EPIC !!!👌👌👌
What a awesome car thanks Tim.And congrats on hitting 1.2m subs.
That GTO sounded like it is in need of a service a valve adjustment, when you open the hood and even when you first got in you could hear the valves hitting.
there was definitely a metallic tick with the bonnet up, I wouldn't buy it with that noise
Could it be from the timing belt/chain
It sounded like a diesel lol
Brandon Reid preowned car with 11k miles on it.
Yes I thought it sounded a bit like my vehicle (I drive a London Black cab) I didn't want to say anything until I saw the other comments
Thank you for driving it. It is still my favorite car. Love the 599 GTO!
Thanks Tim for all your effort and vids... they're so awesome, we love You Tube and you're helping make it even more interesting. ... Really! 😘🤟👊❤
I found myself at 14:38 haha. Thanks for coming to NZ and signing my phone, we hope to see you again in the future. Don't forget about the Nissan Gtr 34 and gtr 36 when you get the opportunity :)
I never saw Shmee with this kind of "emoción"!! What a Sound!! Epic!!
Christchurch will have changed a bit since your last time there. Awesome test and amazing to see these cars here in NZ. Im sure Q town will be even more revealing...
Great video and a Ferrari I have lusted after as well! Thanks!
I'm blown away again. My goodness Tim, do you ever sleep? What a wonderful example of the 599 GTO, total bucket list car for me. That car is only second for me to 599 XX evo, another pure beast. Must be the highlight of your current trip so far Tim. Awesome work, I am still looking forward to your upcoming Nordschleife visit. Cheers :)
Great vid!
This was a sweet review, so nice to see the 599 GTO
BEST CAR CHANNEL EVER!!
Keep up the good work❤️✊
That is my absolute favorite color spec on the 599 GTO that and Yellow with white stripe, I'm as excited to see you drive it as you were driving CLK GTR. Ok maybe not quite that much but omg
Cheers mate. Was nice to meet you. My son Hayden was glad you mentioned the R34 GTR at the end 😂
So what's the Doug score?
Wrong channel I'm afraid
Shmee150 xd
Shmee150 or is it?
Mashetekiller lets leave doug out of this shmee has a much better channel
LOLOLOLOLOL
the sound of GTO is mind blowing! just absolutely epic!
That guy in the background 😂😂 “Hey kid, you can’t be here. Shmee150 is filming a video!” 😂😂
It’s so cool to see you driving a Ferrari down the road I used to take to work
Can’t wait to see the Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake out on the roads, that’s another practical exotic GT car for ya
This has always been my favorite Ferrari since it came out. It’s just perfect!
Next video buying a 599 GTO
Good idea!
Shmee150 lol
The 599 GTO is one of my fav Ferrairis but only 599 of them where built... I LOVE FERRARIS! You have the best Live man!
Rimac coming soon...
This would really be awesome though! Nice car to register in Germany, left hand drive ones can be found for "only" €500.000-€600.000,- :p. Can you imagine doing a road trip in a 599 GTO... I personally think it's a steal for that amount of money considering it is a limited production Ferrari. Cheapest limited production Ferrari you can buy probably? And the most monumental sound!
Great choice! :) gorgeous car
Sounds amazing!
Thanks Shmee you took me for a drive on the car i love the most Ferrari always love them cars
....you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to do a video with one of these....my favorite ferrari..
That's crazy, you drove the the gto the exact way I go to work everyday,,,, would have been crazy to see that on the road
What about that s13 accross the road at the end?
Such an awesome experience!😍🎧🔥
Nice,very nice and the 1st i've seen with a white rev dial....cool
Absolutely amazing car and what a sound. One of the best modern day Ferrari’s
the 599 GTO is a real beast and amazing supercar...so lucky!
What makes it rev and fall back to idle so quick, lightweight flywheel? I love it.
Wow great Ferrari right there, nice opportunity you got!
Shmee always has a smile on his face😃
Best sounding V12 ever. Its downshifts are heavenly
599 GTO. The favorites of the favorites, for me. I love it
I like the colour coordinated intros!
The best sounding car ever made. Absolute dream car. Couldn't care less about the Laf and F12 TDF. I want a 599 GTO.
Why not that porsche 😂😂😂 love the content Shmee!!
My favorite Ferrari of all time ❤️
Amazing sound. AND OMG THAT R34!!!!!!
OMG that GTO is something!
Shmee the name sounds like a really exotic icecream
Gelato indeed
One of my favourite cars and Ferrari's ever!
Have you ever been flashed by a speed camera on one of these test drives @shmee150
Fairly British weather, I see. But that V12 sure didn't let down.
AliensHaveArrived I know dude. It's just an expression, seeing that British weather always follows him around.
Actually over here the weather is quite bipolar, it changes quickly :p
Are you going to be sitting oh idk the pit lane in the Australian Grand Prix
One day in Wonderland. 🤩
Beautiful car great spec
This is a real beast! One of the best ferrari ever made
You definitely have to consider buying yourself an other ferrari with a V12! I hope you will soon ! :)
I love the 599 GTO. My favorite of all the recent Front engined Ferraris.
599 GTO has to be a all time favourite.
If you've done the video, yes they did.
Smart logic
Haha i was about to comment that! 😂
I was shocked the first time I saw 599 live. It is indeed a big, big car.
9:07 shmees voice got all smooth and cool for a sec
You really should drive the port hills on banks peninsula. My old stomping ground
Shmee u have to get a 599 .. it's only right. My dream car! Yes the McClaren is nice(price tag) & u have the GT Black series but THIS is the pinnacle to me. The dwn shifts & thay v12 is jst 😍😍😍😍
Pls add 1 of these to the garage
I like the ferari 458. Spider it's my dream car ps: you got a new subscriber

Take me with you next time I'll be your camera guy haha. I wish. 😂👍
Super Duper cool and that's fast! Really Fast on it's turbo.
Nice! :D
(Read This and the comment)
Dental floss has worked 💥
those little buttons on the back of the steering wheel, are they also shifters but moving with the steering wheel?
Nope they control the radio.
Shmee150 ah ok thank you :)
The sound :O
Welcome to NZ😉
I heard one of those on the road it sounded so insane
What a soundtrack!
Noticed your watch quite a few times. It looks lovely? What is it?
Its bonkers seeing a youtuber from across the globe in my hometown! 😂
That 458 in black looks awesome, alot different from seeing them in red all the time.
Such a great looking Ferrari
Magnificent
I was shocked tim when you said you had never driven a 599 gto before .
Another V12 Ferrari you have a good taste Tim.
Shmee you're already on 1.2 MIL followers?!? That's mad
It does sound heavenly.
whats the difference on the 599 GTO and the 599 GTB Fiorano?
Great choice
are you going to do a video talking about if you are going to do the gumball rally or not?
Nothing planned at this moment.
The best sounding V12 Ferrari 😍😍 The dream! 599 GTO and 360 Challenge Stradale!
Not this particular vehicle , engine was abused and not taken care of
congrats on 1.2 mill Tim, u earnt it buddy, Ur in need a gtc4 lusso asap, all this time spending around Ferraris lately, sell the GT8 and get a lusso v12
Nobody's going to buy it in Orange and blue lol
Agree
Why would you sell a track toy which sounds that good and looks that good for a wanna be family car just because of the engine.
because v12 is fucking bae and he never drives the gt8, he has a 675 lt for the track, why need 2
are you goningto drive some ford falcons in Australia shmee ?
Front bar looks like it was repainted?
vents was the right word ther, vents (naca & such) is for intaking of air. Thanks & Cheer's from $ast-Van B.C., Canada
