Most people will just drool over a Ferrari and will think the 
performance of the red stallion is perfect. The handling of the Ferrari most of the time satisfies the consumers. Going for higher standards the Italian car maker created the HGTE or Handling GT Evoluzione.
The handling package was first revealed during the Geneva auto show last March. This week the Ferrari 599’s handling was put into test by none other than legendary Michael Schumacher who’s on the pedestal for winning the F1 championship seven times.
The HGTE is engineered to give the Ferrari owner a more dynamic and sporty driving experience. The package includes modifications on the springs, calibration of the shock absorbers, anti-roll bars, and lowering of the ride height.
Schumacher took the 599 for a 20 lap drive in Fiorano. The record of the Ferrari 599 in the circuit is recorded at 1 minute and 26.5 seconds. That is really considered a fast lap taking into consideration the record of the F40 which is 3.1 seconds slower. The F430 and the F50 take 3.6s more to finish a lap.
After five years, the last of the Ferrari F430 
will be sold throug an auction for charity which aims at helping the victims of the recent Abruzzo earthquake.
The rights for the last Ferrari F430 that will roll out from the assembly line was conducted last May. The unit will be customized with a two tone paint in the color shade of Aquila, the most devastated city during the last earthquake.
The winning bidder will be getting a signed certificate and a dedication plate. The owner will also have the privilege of choosing from the catalogue of Carrozzeria Scaglietti to further customize the Ferrari. The last F430 is due for release before the end of 2009.
The F430 was born in 2004 and served as the DNA for derivatives like the Spider convertible and the Scuderia. There were also race versions of the Ferrari F430.
It succeeded the 360 Moderna which reigned the Ferrari garage since 1999. The F430 and the 360 Modena shared several components including its aluminum body.
