Take a Ferrari 599, strip away much of its elegance, boost it with carbon, and here is a Talos XXT.
The Ferrari 599 XX Evo is a masterpiece of technology, an enchanting V12, and perfectly crafted carbon. Inaccessible, beyond the reach of ordinary roads, it was only a dream reserved for circuits and the most privileged clients of Maranello. An almost cruel exclusivity for adrenaline enthusiasts.
This is where Talos, a discreet but ambitious workshop from Yorkshire, steps in with its bold proposal: the Talos XXT. Starting from a standard 599 GTB, the English craftsmen infuse it with a breath of radicalism. The bodywork almost entirely disappears to make way for custom carbon: sharp front bumper, widened fenders, sculptural rear diffuser… and especially, a massive spoiler that wouldn’t look out of place on a Fast and Furious tuned Supra. The center-lock wheels complete this rather rugged transformation.
Pure Attitude!
Under the hood, the V12 has been delicately optimized to reach 674 horsepower. A slight gain compared to the 610 of the original version, but Talos doesn’t stop there and assures that further engine improvements are possible. For those who want to push exclusivity a bit further, but are not afraid to get the engine in their teeth! Because a poorly tuned V12 is a guaranteed mess of connecting rods and valves. One can guess that Talos is more skilled in aesthetics than in mechanics.
Naturally, this boldness is not democratized. Only five units will be produced, the limitation dictated according to Talos by the lifespan of the carbon molds. The small supply of donor cars and the rather limited market seem more credible to us. As for the price, it remains secret but promises to stay in the stratospheric spheres reserved for wealthy enthusiasts.

For speed and design lovers, it’s a delight; for purists, a useless exercise if not worse. But, after all, automotive passion is also fueled by such boldness.
