Currently at Amari.

Is this likely to be the same one that Guy Martin got a lift in last summer?
The ad states that it's the only road legal version in the world but I'm sure I've seen videos of a white one driving around London too.

Yes you are indeed correct as Joe Macari had a road legal white one:-

I suppose it could be the same car that was subsequently repainted?

There's a road legal car in the states as well I believe?

Heard some ridiculous figures banded around for this car on social media, would be interested to know the true asking price.

Wow, not a massive Ferrari fan but that is something else. The noise on these things is phenomenal.

Not so sure. Rare undoubtably but where's the provenance? Driven only at owner track days....
IMO It's hardly a 250GTO' or McLaren F1.

The FXX is an Enzo on steroids. Normal Enzos have tripled in value since launch. The car on sale is (allegedly) the first FXX built in the production run (number 1). It is (allegedly) one of perhaps only 1 or 2 road-legal FXXs in the entire world. And it has a stripe. Everyone loves stripes.

My Nan's pants had a stripe. Trust me no one loved them!

Back to the car, the problem is as stated before just a go faster version of an Enzo but one never designed for the road so you will either hobble it by making it road worthy or it will hobble you if you don't. As soon as the next Ferrari hypercar comes out, which it already has, it won't be the fastest Ferrari you can buy, and it won't be as good as the standard Enzo to have sat beside your standard LaFerrari.

Just my opinion of course, i just wish i could be bothered to work hard enough to afford either!

Ferrari "hobbled it by making it road-worthy", so its all done by the factory.

I think most would agree its a bit more special than the standard Enzo, certainly rarer and will be a hell of a lot more of a driving experience.

Just watched the you tube clip and at 0.34 noticed the number plate had Joe Macari on it so more than likely its the same car: -

Sounds a bit shonky on tickover, but pretty good on startup and full chat.

Cool thing! Shame it is at that dealer though...

It may be a bit more "special" than the Enzo but I would put money on it being a bh to drive on the road even if it was Ferrari that made it road legal. Willing to be proved wrong if someone wants to lend me an Enzo and FXX for a back to back comparison.

Can't see the value rising more than an Enzo for a number of reasons.

It's not particularly cool looking. The roadgoing race cars of the 1960s, which appreciate more than the standard models, looked like the road cars.

Yes, I am sure it is capable of almost 250mph against an Enzo's 220mph-ish top speed, but I imagine it's far more extreme and difficult to drive compared to an normal Enzo.

There's is no racing provenance. The valuable 50s/60s Ferraris were raced at Le Mans and Mille Miglia in the most famous competitions. The FXX wasn't.

Modified versions of Ferrari halo cars don't normally perform as well as the standard cars in terms of appreciating value.

Would I rather spend my millions on an Enzo like the 200km model Tom Hartley Jnr has or on something like this? I'd be off to Derbyshire rather than Lancashire with my cash!

Would they have to retrieve said Enzo from the big puddle first or am I thinking of the wrong TH?
