Since I just stumbled upon them, I think they need to be spread all over the net as fast as possible ;)

New FXX to turn client-collectors into genuine Ferrari Test Drivers

Ferrari has developed a truly innovative technical collaboration programme around the FXX prototype aimed at its most dedicated and passionate Clients.

The FXX is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello and its mission is to involve our most valued Clients as genuine Prancing Horse Test Drivers in their own right.

The wealth of data and experience gathered in the course of this very special programme will be exceptionally important.

In fact, the feedback from these highly skilled, non-professional Client Test Drivers will be compared and supplemented with suggestions from Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari’s professional in-house Test Drivers.

Every Client who signs up for the FXX project by purchasing one of the estimated 20 or so cars being built, will actually be joining Team Ferrari, and will have his driving experiences at the wheel of this new car monitored directly by the Prancing Horse’s technicians and specialists.

The FXX is the fruit of Ferrari’s know-how in building special limited-series sports cars combined with, of course, its racing experience. It will provide the basic framework on which the specifics of future extreme models will be worked out. The exceptionally powerful FXX delivers absolutely blistering performance on all fronts.

The FXX has not been homologated for road use and thus will not be a competition model. It will be used exclusively on the track as part of a specific ongoing research and development programme featuring this first ever group of Client Test Drivers.

The FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 hp at 8,500 rpm.

Its gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 strategies, delivering gear change times of under 100 ms. This is almost as fast as the F1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.

The FXX’s aerodynamic design is particularly innovative too as it has resulted in a shape that produces 40% higher downforce than ever achieved before. It is also possible to adjust the FXX’s mobile spoiler configuration to suit the specific circuit.

Ferrari’s partnership with Bridgestone has resulted in the development of a specific 19” slick tyre for this particular model. Likewise Brembo has created a special brake cooling and pad system for the FXX’s extra large Composite Ceramic Material disc brakes.

The Client Test Drivers will also be able to share their unique track experience with a passenger – in fact a second seat is also available.

What really sets the FXX apart, however, is the sophisticated telemetry system which will monitor and give feedback on 39 different vehicle dynamics parameters in real time. The system is also able to record other data as demanded by specific circumstances.

The information gathered will then be analysed by the Ferrari technicians working on the programme and discussed with the individual Client Drivers to ensure that the car is kept constantly updated.

The FXX package also includes participation in a series of track events to be organised by Ferrari on various international-level circuits over the coming two years. On these occasions, an official team of technicians will be on hand to provide any assistance and support required by the Client Test Driver.

In addition to these truly unique official events, Clients will also be able to take their cars out on the track independently during private sessions. Clients wishing to leave their car at Maranello will be glad to know that the vehicles will be transported directly by Ferrari to the various European circuits for the various scheduled events.

Given the car’s exceptional performance and the unique nature of the package, delivery of each FXX will also include an ad hoc driving course. The instructors will, of course, be professional drivers and the courses will take place at the Fiorano Circuit where Ferrari does its most important F1 single-seater testing.

After the seat and the pedals have been individually tailored to each driver, there will be a traditional “shakedown” followed by a training session to introduce the Client Test Drivers to test driving methodologies.

After a careful client order selection process, the first FXXs will be delivered by the end of this year. The initial testing of the definitive car will be taking place over the coming days at Fiorano.

The FXX and the relative package cost a total of 1.5 million euro (excluding taxes). Applications to join the programme are being evaluated by a special in-house committee.

what's the source of these news ?
cause with all due respect it looks like a chop that i could have done
looks to far fedged and too hardcore even for Ferrari to make, i mean non of their racers never looked this in-your-face-racer !!!

THIS IS ALMOST REAL!!! look at Ferrariworld.com

[Spastik_Roach]

That car, is bad ass. Ugly yes, but bad ass. And 800hp>all.

...The FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 hp at 8,500 rpm.
one word.... amazing :eek:

[-TT-]

It's basically a development car ;) they basically ask 1,5 milion to the owners that will then also be used as non professional tester (ence not paid :D) isn't this pretty clever? :D basically they will have 20 free test drivers who even paid money to be one of them :D

[johnnyperl]

so stupid, just buy an F1!
don't buy into that "testdriver" bullshit! its just marketing, they dont indicate what the information will go into. since the car is not going to be part of any series what is the developement for? with this car ive lost all respect for ferrari road cars(non-F1).

an F2003 only costs $300000 more and you'll get just as much support from course clienti

[henk4]

I am sure the list of 20 will be oversubscribed manyfold. Imagine that you pay only 1.5 mln to become member of Team Ferrari, while you have to pay much more to become a member of the Minardi team :)

[r1ckst4]

so stupid, just buy and F1!
why buy an F1 car if u can buy a street legal F1-like car...

it looks stunning!

[johnnyperl]

its not street legal!!
its not an enzo, there is nothing thats "F1-like" on the road.

[twinspark]

I actually like it, even though it is made of an Enzo. But have the original tail lights been replaced by exhausts and vice versa? Not a bad idea, kind of funny though.

[Mustang]

what a pointless car lol, this or MC12 ?

[Wouter Melissen]

an F2003 only costs $300000 more and you'll get just as much support from course clienti Corse Clienti services are not free. In Europe there are maybe five or six times per years where Corse Clienti is present with their support. It's rather impossible to do it on your own, unless you have some very advanced tools and highly skilled mechanics. I'm sure this car is more user friendly and does not a team of mechanics to run.

[lightweight]

I'm no aerodynamicist, but I think the front lights create unwanted drag. Why don't they keep the original lights? In fact this Enzo looks riced up.

How much does this weigh? I suspect that 1100-1150 kg would be possible

[johnnyperl]

sorry, but i have to post again because i hate this car and its "concept" so much.
if the person buying this car really wanted to buy a track day car where they could have telemetry and all kinds of adjustability they could buy a formula car (Renault, 3000, BMW, World Series, GP2, etc.) for less and there would be hundreds of other cars working on developing the package, not just 19.
This is all about bragging rights and money, nothing else.
It goes perfectly with their clobbering this year in the Championship.

Good point, Wouter, but it doesnt change my mind ;)

i like youre thinking!
is that camera(?) on the roof the replacement for the mirrors? connected to the screen in the middle of the dash?

[Wouter Melissen]

It could be, the wing things on the back must block the view from the regular mirror positions.

[Cotterik]

words cannot describe how ugly that is, what is ferrari playing at? suicidal designers or something. Sure it might be kind to the aerodynamics but PLEASE have some dignity! you're killing our eyes! They better not muck up the design for the F60 i tell u that.

[Cotterik]

i like youre thinking!

if its a track day car only you wouldnt need rear view mirrors would you?

[Wouter Melissen]

if its a track day car only you wouldnt need rear view mirrors would you?Yeah it's highly unlikely that anybody going to pass you when you are driving this.

[Cotterik]

Yeah it's highly unlikely that anybody going to pass you when you are driving this.

*in drives a CCR* :rolleyes: *sticks rear view mirrors on quickly* ;)

[clutch-monkey]

i actually quite like it, and from the side it seems reminiscent of an F40
it could do without a few of the smaller details, and would be better in a darker colour

[henk4]

Yeah it's highly unlikely that anybody going to pass you when you are driving this.

assuming that you are the fastest of the 20 test drivers :D

[Merrill]

Dosent look impressive to me cant wait to see a video or something...

[Cotterik]

would look alot better in full carbon fibre body

[drakkie]

i like youre thinking!

maybe it is a cover for the antenna, to send the telemetry to the pits.

[nopassn]

i like youre thinking!

if you look at the rear 3/4 shot, you can see that the rear window has been covered - looks like it's all 1 big firewall now.... http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=113121 - I guess that would explaing the camera pod that's been slapped on the roof...

[Rijoh]

Is this the forerunner to the Enzo Challenge Stradale? :)

[cuntukimushroom]

800BHP!!!!!!!!!!!! bloody hell thats 140bhp more than the normal enzo X0

[Vaigra]

800BHP!!!!!!!!!!!! bloody hell thats 140bhp more than the normal enzo X0
I really want to hear how the engine sounds on this.. :eek:
800 bhp from a NA engine...amazing.
shame the body doesn't match the engine :(

[Modena_360]

the fact that its 800 bhp from a normally aspirated 6 litreengine that's most impressive.....no supercharger or anything

[clutch-monkey]

stick that in your tailpipe, saleen S7TT :D and they're both equally ugly

[Piacki_117]

wow : 800 bhp - 1.500.000 € :eek: :eek: :eek:
do you know the weight? even if it stay the same, it gives 1.70 kg per bhp!!!!!

[Ferrer]

I'm sorry, but even if they tried they couldn't have made it uglier... and for me that's the end of the story...

[Niko_Fx]

I don't care how it looks, must be a plane around the track.

[Enzo21]

the new fxx is gonna be sick

[baddabang]

the new fxx is gonna be sick


Thanks buddy but we have already concluded that the power is sick and so is the style (literialy) :p

[Quiggs]

Function > form.

This is basically a test mule program for Ferrari. Only they're getting paid to develop new racing and road car technology by 20 people who want to help them do it. It will never see the streets; only the track and a trailer. It doesn't matter what it looks like. 800hp N/A is very impressive though.

[UCR]

I dont think its going to be used really but more of an investment for the ones that buy it.

[Quiggs]

Ferrari is being very selective as to who gets this car. They won't let this turn into another price gouging like the Enzo did, where people get the car and turn it around and sell it for $1m+.

[UCR]

But people will be afraid to take it around a track, like Jay Kay.
He doesnt want to corner all that money.

Wimp.

[sutton4481]

it creates downforce. as little as it is, it's better like that then covered

[Vaigra]

anychance of the Mclaren F1 system being used where they buy the car back off anyone wanting to sell it and sell it on to who THEY want?

[werty]

I guess if Wouter says it is real, then its real, but the areas i circled look fishy to me. 800hp....how?

[Coventrysucks]

is that camera(?) on the roof the replacement for the mirrors? connected to the screen in the middle of the dash?

Sounds like a good engineering solution.

Why bother with a couple of pieces of lightweight carbonfibre with some light reflective mirrors in when you can add a camera, screen, electrical wiring for both, a facility to flip the image so that you just look at the screen, rather than having to mentally reverse the picture, and a device to provide power for both...

[Dino Scuderia]

it creates downforce. as little as it is, it's better like that then covered

They may also be lighter than the stock units.

[Vaigra]

I guess if Wouter says it is real, then its real, but the areas i circled look fishy to me. 800hp....how?
the FXX on the spoiler looks slanted in pic three..but straight in pic 4? :confused:

[Quiggs]

It's the perspective of the pictures. The car is real, the pictures aren't fake in any way.

[Dino Scuderia]

I agree. The pixelation of the photos does look a little goofy in some places but we don't know how much these pics have been manipulated since taken, and I don't mean chopped.

[Vaigra]

thought as much.
might be ugly but wouldn't mind seeing one on track sometime ;)

[ScionDriver]

Very very exclusive and very very cool. I can't decide on the looks of it but I am liking them. Its very hardcore...sweet.

[Vindesh17]

its a modified enzo and I like the enzo but this is way over the top. I mean 800bhp!

[hanz blix]

performance yes, stlye no

[r1ckst4]

is it possible to fit a supercharger in there???

[henk4]

is it possible to fit a supercharger in there???

the car has no luggage compartment :)

[johnnyperl]

the car has no luggage compartment :)
on ferraris the luggage goes in the front ;)

they should have fit it with a F1-type plenum and individual throttles, that would have been cool.

[henk4]

on ferraris the luggage goes in the front ;)

there should be a 50cm wide 19inch spare in the front, or isn't that even included in the 1.5 mln.

[johnnyperl]

that goes where the passenger seat was. its been carfully placed to acheive a perfect 50/50 (left/right) balance. :D

[henk4]

that goes where the passenger seat was. its been carfully placed to acheive a perfect 50/50 (left/right) balance. :D

no,no read the write up, there is an option for a passenger seat, and they don't mention that you will have to sacrifice the spare then ;) Greedy bastards at Maranello

[johnnyperl]

no,no read the write up, there is an option for a passenger seat, and they don't mention that you will have to sacrifice the spare then ;) Greedy bastards at Maranello
hmmm....then they must be using the Land Rover style for carrying the spare.

[Blue Supra]

it looks like a chop.

[johnnyperl]

it looks like a chop.
i have no idea what your talking about, and frankly im offended...

[henk4]

i have no idea what your talking about, and frankly im offended...

Enzo for americans :)

[Blue Supra]

the USDM Enzo bro!:D

[whiteballz]

its as ugly as simon

[Vaigra]

i have no idea what your talking about, and frankly im offended...
haha i wanna see a full shot of the Enzo Pickup ;)

[Ferrer]

on ferraris the luggage goes in the front ;)
Unless the front is full of engine... ;)

[Gt-One]

I like it! Is this Ferraris attempt to get the fastest lap of the Top Gear test track back to them?

The MC12 beat the Enzo's time a month ago. It takes over a month to develop and test a new car.
