Edo Creates Roadgoing 'Ferrari FXX'

Edo Competition Enzo XX Evolution promises 828bhp, 242mph

---

A Ferrari Enzo FXX is all well and good - as far as track-toy supercars go there is little to touch it - but there are certain flaws with it.

You can't take it out on the road, for starters. Even if you could, Ferrari won't let you take it home with you; you can only go and play with it when - and where - they let you.

But there is now a solution, courtesy of mildly deranged German tuner Edo Competition. We recently wrote about Edo's previous upgrade package for the Enzo, the XX, which brought power up to 788bhp and torque to 575lb ft. This resulted in 0-60mph in 3.2secs, 0-186mph in 19.0secs and a top speed of 236mph.

Now, Edo has revealed this, the Enzo XX Evolution. Torque and acceleration figures are unchanged, but power is up to 828bhp (848bhp without exhaust mufflers), so top speed gets boosted to a claimed 242mph.

Edo is most proud of its improved transmission, however. A standard Enzo can shift gears in 110 milliseconds. In the XX Evolution it takes just 60 milliseconds - 20 milliseconds shy of an F1 car's gearshift.

Edo's conversion package is available to all Enzo customers and includes a day's testing with an instructor, a team of mechanics, full data-logging software, transport and hospitality. And the price? Well, if you have to ask etc etc...

Ugly. But quick. Love to know how much the conversion is with Enzos running at about £700-800k!

A wasp maybe?

I think id have to have mine withough the mufflers

[JumpinJack]

If those are the exhausts poking out above the tail lights, why haven't they covered up the old exhaust holes int he bumper?? bit sloppy!

[mylesmcd]

and which genius thought yellow was the best colour to show this in?

[louismchuge]

'mufflers' you mean silencers

[GingerWizard]

Painted in black; probably the scariest car in the world to pull up behind you. Talk about menancing! Very nice but i think i would spend my *silly-imaginary-money* else where....

Zonda........

[randomman]

20 milliseconds slower, still very impressive.

The reason why its yellow is because that is what colour the owners car was. This was not done in Germany it was done by ZR Autos in Canada. It was his idea to do it too his own Enzo when he bought an FXX engine off Ferrari.

Can someone explain to me why it is that you'd pay all that money to have a car that you can only drive if/when ferrari let you?

You're thinking of the FXX whereas this is just a 'normal' road going Enzo upgraded with an FXX spec engine and look alike body panels.

Anyway the FXX isn't that bad a deal considering it's transported to the track and maintained etc. which is what you would have to do if you had a racecar anyway, just that you'd have to organise it all yourself and being a Ferrari would be very often and very expensive.
