"6. An Italian vacuum cleaner.
Two fans in the trunk suck air through a permeable panel in the diffuser’s central tunnel. That air is then vented through the holes normally occupied by the taillights. A piezoelectric diaphragm releases that air in controlled bursts, which helps detach the wake from the rear of the car."

"Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version."
