Without all its electronic minders, the Ferrari 599 is an absolute monster. It is also the last big Ferrari to come with a manual. Would you teach your daughter (or son) how to drive stick on a 612 horsepower GT?

When they aren't setting themselves on fire, it appears another one of the Ferrari 599's favorite past times is terrifying children.
