Talos XXT Brings The Ferrari 599 GTB Back To Life With 674 HP

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano belonged to a different time—when big V12s and long hoods ruled the road. It had that effortless swagger only old-school Ferraris managed. Then came the F12, the 812, and now the 12Cilindri.

The world moved on, but Talos didn’t. Somewhere in the U.K., a small team decided the Ferrari 599 GTB wasn’t finished yet. Their answer is the Talos XXT, a hand-built resurrection limited to five cars. It’s not polite, and it doesn’t want to be.

The look hits hard. Carbon fiber everywhere — wider fenders, deeper vents, a fixed rear wing that laughs at subtlety. Some will call it over the top. Others will love it for exactly that reason. On 20-inch forged wheels, it sits low, mean, and ready to pick a fight.

Inside, nothing’s standard. Buyers can choose wild colors, gloss or matte carbon, soft leather, or bare metal. Every build tells a story about the person paying for it. The 6.0-liter V12 now pushes out 674 horsepower, up from the original 611.  It still screams all the way to 8,400 rpm.

Zero to sixty-two takes 3.5 seconds. Top speed stays at 205. Ohlins suspension makes it more civilized than it looks, though not by much. Each car takes over 400 hours to finish. Two years of planning. £850,000 before you even find a donor car. This Ferrari 599 GTB is not for everyone, and it's not even trying to be.
