I'd add cool/cold temperatures as the final ingredient for disaster. Summer tires are crap under those conditions. As much as people laugh, he might have made it with Pilot A/Ss . What a carnage.

I never noticed the engine was mounted so far back...wow!

Did anyone watch the Top Gear special about this car? I remember Clarkson wanting to drive it in the wet, and he was told by the Ferrari engineers "Impossible!". Now we know why

I'd still take it. That drivetrain would be an incredible hotrod platform.

+1, or even heaven forbid a 250 GTO, the 599 isn't a real GTO.

I thought the exact same thing and I was shocked, a 599 GTO is more like whatever.
