    I doubt they are very happy about it.

    I'm pretty sure Nopassn means function
    Oh, and the FXX > Enzo in the aesthetical department.

    Here is some talk about engine modifications up to 880 hp:

    Edo Competition modifies the Ferrari FXX to be street-legal - [Ferrari FXX supercar] - MotorAuthority - Car news, reviews, spy shots

    But official Edo press release tells that only exhaust was modified, and the numbers are as they was from the begining (over 800 hp, 679 Nm, top speed well over 350 km/h)...

    the red plate means that the car is still waiting for the green light, so right now it isn0t really street "legal". something similar happened to a MC12 Versione Corsa which appeared to 200 Villa d'Este with a regular German plate, but lately it came out that the car wasn't really homologated and the owner, a German ex DTM driver, got his "deserved" fine.

    speaking about the car, I always thought an old F1 was something better and even more special than the FXX, but without considering being involved in the development program. making this road legal is nothing really interesting.
    if a lot of people considered the Caparo T1 a non-sense, what about this? it also lacks the racing heritage of a McLaren F1 GTR. I'm not sure if I would consider this and not another car of the same level, but if the owner is fine, fair enough.

    The answer to your questions with reasoning is, 'why not?'

    If I was worth billions of dollars.. or millions, same thing, I would buy this in a heartbeat. Like Badda said, picture driving up in one of these to a fast food drivethrough at 3 a.m. to the shock of the workers. Her not being able to hear the order over the sound of the exhaust would be lulz too.

    the idea is funny, but I would consider something more sophisticate, maybe an old Jag C-Type

    What racing heritage are you talking about? The T1?

    How can this possibly be street legal...?

    And I thought the FXX was factory supported/semi-owned by the factory. Does this break the agreement?

    I was considering those GTR converted for road use, not the T1 of course.

    AFAIK the car was just factory-supported until the developing program ended a while ago, a part for those who purchased the Evolution package.

    I was under similar impressions Ferrari had control of all FXXs as well.

    Sounds about right then considering Ferrari seem to take a disliking to anything being added on to their "perfect" cars.

    I promise you whoever did this to the car will not get another supercar from Ferrari again.

    somehow, yes, but maybe he sold the car before of...this

    Maserati's PR didn't know about the black MC12 Versiona Corse appered at 2007 Villa d'Este until I candidly told him about it at last year "Modena Terra Di Motori".
