RE: Ferrari FXX K revealed

[Coddy85]

I like it, but only in a teenage bedroom poster kind of way.

It's reasons like this why Ferrari make more money from merchandise than actually selling cars.

[suffolk009]

Sniff was a little slow off the blocks, but has some nice ideas for further limited editions: FxxK U, FxxK IT, and more.

Oh my goodness!! WOW!
I don't think there's any point doing a test against the P1 GTR. The Ferrari will destroy it, just as the La has destryoed the road P1 in all the back to back tests so far.

FXXK Me!

I think the "FXXK Me" is the name that Ferrari plan to use for the run out special.
Followed swiftly by the "FxxKing hell!" limited edition run out special.

I'm not a fan of Ferrari, but this sounds outrageous. Can't wait to hear one at full chat

[ttthilvester]

I'm not much of a Ferrari fan either, but except for the unnecessary numbers on the doors, that really DOES look the dog's danglies.

[stephen300o]

Wonderful looking car, bet it sounds wonderful also.

Probably faster than my car!

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

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

Anybody able to photoshop that?

I agree, dreamed up by a couple of kids. Those handles just look wrong. No doubt it's gonna be an awesome piece of kit though.

[RemyMartin]

Im a fan of loud noises. Whilst im no lover of Ferrari as a marque. The original FXX was one glorious sounding machine. Hopefully this will also deliver aural thrills like no other V12

[conkerman]

Leepu's been busy.

Undoubtedly a technical tour de force, but did it really have to look pre crashed?

[F.C.]

Factory rules and money aside I could never own this car, I'd be terrified some Barry boy in a souped up Corsa would crash into me with a gormless grin on their face either that or someone damaging the paint when it was parked up.
Oh! and wiping the snot, dribble, and nose smear off the windows where people have stuck their faces to have a look inside eeeeeeeeeeeuuuw.

[chrisironside]

I wasn't entirely sold on the LaFerrari when it was launched, but first impressions of this are that it looks delicious!
I think the rear half looks a lot better than the "standard" car, and it looks like a fighter jet from the side!

Most won't get anywhere near anyone at all as, it is a continuation of Ferrari's 'track research' via customer, and looked after by Ferrari inbetween track days.

[pSynrg]

Crikey, what a stupid piece of crap.

I hope Hot Wheels will be suing the FxxK out of them that's for sure.

It's not blind devotion , the thing is fkin mental if it had any other badge on it people would be creaming themselves but due to its prancing horse and this being pistonheads a place where people go out of there way to hate cars / brands we get the predictable stting up of the release of a a very desirable machine *yawn*

[kiseca]

Most people seem to be taking the piss out of its name. That's not because it's a Ferrari, but because it's a FxxK.

If it wasn't a Ferrari and a few posters came on to say "it looks st" then sooner or later someone who likes the looks would come along and claim that those hating the looks would be fawning over it if it was a Ferrari.
