This is why you should never buy a Ferrari, as soon as you do there will be another variation of it, then another 'til they make a whole new model to replace it.

Oooh, low-blow :D
The FXX seems to become more attractive every time I see pics of it. I still can't quite get the point of it though.
Is this like a series development-mule that will result in a better F60(70?) one day? So the clients are paying to do what employees would've done previously?
I probably have it all wrong, but even if that is the case, it's pretty cool.
i think you got it right Koop... its a brilliant way of ferrari subsidizing their development programs by having customers pay to be the development drivers. truely brilliant.
here is the pinnacle of automotive technology, and you and 49 others can (for a rather large sum of money) drive this car and help ferrari shape their cars of the future. if you are not jealous, then you are not a car guy.
[QUOTE=henk4;757879]so are we going to see a run of new cars or are the existing ones going to be upgraded?[/QUOTE]
Yes, I was wondering about that too.
Better looking than the Enzo, IMO.

Jealous doesn't begin to describe it, allow me to re-word it: depression-inducingly, vein-poppingly, nauseatingly, lip-bitingly, green-turningly, aggravatingly jealous.
In the three levels of jealousy, this would be ranked in the fourth level.

I guess you never bought a computer then.....

It's not a new model. The upgrade is available to any of the FXX owners who want it.
[QUOTE=LeonOfTheDead;757923]it will be an upgrade package for the 29 existing FXX, plus the Schumacher's own FXX, which wasn't predicted at the begining. it will be a sort of after-market optional... :D
i guess this in the pics is the Schumacher's FXX which was black at the begining, since he is one of the men behind this evolution...there aren't any mules of the FXX, beacuse, the FXX is a mule, even not so expensive if you look at it as a mule for future cars[/QUOTE]
Schumacher just presented the car. I'm positive he still has his special, un-striped, black model. ;)
Amazing car. love the paint job but the name reminds me of the 'Lancer Evo X'
Technology is so rapidly changing that it makes the previous inventions obsolete.

Oh, this is interesting. And if no one wants to upgrade his car? I lose the point of this program then - wasn't it aimed to wide researchements based on all 30 (or 29?) car owners' results and performance? Ok, one man agrees to upgrade his FXX and says that it's 'perfect' (or 'bullshit'). You have nothing to do except to believe him? Where is the researchement here?
EDIT: From the other hand, it could be considered as an effort to save some cars in natural form, i.e. to make every car more expensive in future, to increase their value for collectors. I mean, if all the cars will differ, they all should become a 'one-off', and not 'one of thirty'.
I would guess that most, if not all, of the owners will upgrade... why wouldn't they - this is kinda the whole point of the FXX program in the first place.

in five years from now: For sale: Highly original, non molested FXX....(like 512S Coupes now being much more loved than the 512Ms).
