RE: Ferrari FXX K revealed

[suffolk009]

That rear wing is rather like the emperors new clothes?

Like!

Except the numbers on the doors which makes me hum "Just a good old boys, never meaning no harm...". Does it come in orange with a CB aerial?

my thoughts exactly!

I think FXXK is a very appropriate name.

Because you'll exclaim "OH FxxK!" as you feel the full acceleration and the next corner comes at you way faster than you can cope with. (Driving Gods excepted.)

[threespires]

Did Fred order one before he left ?

[AlexHat]

Is this Ferrari supposedly following Lamborghini in naming their cars after the first thing said after unveiling?

'Here is the new, faster La Ferrari'
'F**K!'
'Hmm good name, the new faster La Ferrari F**K'

This is an absolutely awesome piece of kit. Wonder how much you'd have to pay to own one privately.

Officially, you can't - but there's at least one FXX floating around 'for sale' so I guess there's always an exception to the rule...

GM tried to destroy all the EV1 electric cars but at least 1 slipped their Net into Canada (where it may or may not have sold for a lot of money) - the only others are in Universities or Museums in 'disabled' form tho, so...

There's always one!

Is the rear wing(s) really a result of ultimate performance unconstrained by racing regulations? I can appreciate there is less drag, but surely a FXXK off big wing would be the best solution...?

Prefer the look of the P1 myself. I'd rather have the Mac and an old Enzo based FXX please

[sinbaddio]

Hot Wheels for Christmas anyone...?

[Catatafish]

It's a shame that it can't leave the ground... in a controlled way anyhow.

I think, on reflection, that there is a centre section which raises up and joins the two winglets. At least that's what I'm gleaning from the flannel and the pictures.



ie the bit directly above the Ferrari badge - does it raise up on those two red centre plinth thingies? If so - awesome

Not really - there's a balance between top speed and downforce. More of one reduces the other, and they've achieved most of the downforce through underbody and subtle tweaking mods, why bother slapping a massive wing on it?

The tail section is now higher and the mobile spoiler extends further for a total increase in extension of 60mm when fully deployed. A vertical fin and a small wing each side of the tail act as guide vanes in the low drag configuration and boost the spoiler's efficiency in the high downforce one.

Ah, so only 60mm extension. I was imagining it raising in line with the two vertical spoilers.

[Amirhussain]

Oh my.....

[DeltaEvo2]

OH MY! 1050bhp...and it looks even better than the LaFerrari, this is EPIC! It looks utterly gorgeous, WANT!

[corcoran]

1000 horse powers!

FXXK Me!

1036hp and 540kg downforce at 133... That will be fking quick, should blow the P1 into the weeds tbh.

I'm assuming this isn't road legal and as such is not really comparable to any road car.

I'm also assuming that McLaren will release a similarly track focused version of the P1 that will intern blow the LaFerrari into the weeds

[cookie1600]

I won't be interested until the Mansory or Khan versions come out, chrome wrapped of course..........

[Ekona]

That makes the P1 GTR look like a one litre Micra.

I'm not a huge Ferrari fan, but that looks the absolute nuts.

Undeniably gorgeous car but slightly sad that its almost useless.

You cant race it (which has surely got to be Ferraris entire reason for existing)
You cant drive it on the road (which is what a car was invested for)
You cant take it to a track day (as most track days require your car to be road legal).

No doubt take it round the ring though and say its the fastest 'production' car
