The mid-2000s V12 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano gets a rare redo. A British shop, will build five copies of a road legal race version called the XXT. The look borrows from the track only 599XX - yet the car keeps licence plates and lights so you still drive it to the shops.

Outside, the first thing you notice is the full carbon fiber skin. A deep front splitter juts ahead, small winglets sit on each corner of the bumper, the arches bulge outward plus the bonnet wears twin vents. At the rear a new diffuser and a tall fixed wing shout power. Twenty-inch forged wheels fill the wells. Each of the five buyers chooses paint, stripes but also cabin trim to taste.

The 6.0-litre V12 gains 63 hp for a new total of 674 hp. Talos lists 0-62 mph in 3.5 s and a 205 mph top speed. An Ohlins coil over kit replaces the stock dampers - the firm says the ride stays civil on the street. Buyers who want more power or noise order extra engine as well as exhaust work.

All of this costs £850,000 before you hand over your own 599 GTB. With the donor car added, the bill climbs past the price of a brand new Ferrari factory model. The fee covers 400 hours of design and fabrication and the right to say you own one of five.
