The Ferrari FXX is a car developed as part of an unusual development program by automobile manufacturer Ferrari in Maranello, Italy. It began production in 2005.
The car uses some technology developed from the Enzo Ferrari and combines it with some all-new developments from Ferrari and some of the suppliers. However, the car is only a part of the overall program.
The Car
Essentially an evolution of the Enzo Ferrari, the FXX shares some components with the Enzo, but significant portions are exclusive to the FXX.
The FXX's engine is based on the Enzo's mill but has been expanded to 6,262 cc (from 5,988 cc), and output has been boosted from 660bhp as seen in the Enzo to 800bhp (588kW) @ 8,500 rpm.
The gearbox incorporates the latest developments from Ferrari's F1 program and can complete shifts in under 100 ms. The brakes are uprated and improved over the original Enzo though they retain the same ceramic disk technology.
The tires on the FXX are 19 in (483 mm) slicks custom-developed for the car.
As with the Enzo, the seat and pedal configuration are custom fit to the user's exact measurements.
The FXX features a comprehensive data-monitoring and telemetry that not only allows the driver to improve performance, but also provides Ferrari technicians with valuable data to improve the FXX and future road-going Ferraris.
Upon its release in 2005, the FXX became the most expensive vehicle ever sold new, with a staggering list price of US$1.8 million. The previous car to hold this record had been the Schuppan 962CR, which sold for just over US$1.5 million in 1994.
