Ferrari 599 HTGE China Limited Edition

The Ferrari 599 HTGE China Limited Edition

But time they are a changin’ (thank you Mr D.), and China has become a big market for purveyors of luxury goods, none more so than Ferrari. So sticking together a Limited Edition Ferrari for the Chinese market is an eminently sensible move for Ferrari, even if the dozen models of the China Limited Edition will be a mere drop in the ocean in a country which boasts a population of 1.3 billion and still rising.

So it seems a reasonable bet that Ferrari will have no trouble selling the China 599 to the extremely wealthy who now sit at the top of China’s financial pecking order. The China Edition has been kitted out with Ferrari’s HTGE handling pack and painted in Rosso Fuoco with a grey roof – a look that mimics the 599XX. The China Edition has also had  input from Chinese artist Lu Hao, who customised the luggage in the 599 with a map of the Silk Route (a great reminder of China’s trading past), had the starter button glow in a nice shade of Jade Green and added Chinese symbols instead of numerals to the Tacho.

The Sleeping Dragon rises.
