I'm guessing the owner or his representative drove it. It was only moving in a couple of shots.

The new 599-based GTO is impressive but, as exciting as it is, it can't match the visual wattage of the two previous versions.

I know it's not the most awesome F-car ever but the 288GTO is still my favorite from a styling point.

I often wonder what it would have been like if Group B had continued and the 288GTO and Porsche 959 had met in competition.
