  • Chinese Artist Yin Simon Orders Black FXX K with Eccentric Accents

    Everyone has a specific taste. This comes very clear when it comes to cars and preferences to their exterior looks. We have seen so many strangely tuned vehicles so far that it is sometimes hard to hide your laughter. However, the case with this Ferrari isn’t such, and in fact I find it somewhat charming. The other difference is that this isn’t a custom tuning project, but it has been rather ordered in such appearance directly from the factory.The person behind this order was the wealthy Chinese artist Yin Simon, which has encountered the need of having a black FXX K accentuated by pink highlights. The track only car has been developed for enthusiasts only, meaning that the car will never enter any official race.

    This is also the reason why Ferrari will develop only 40 units of it, each of which will cost 2.5 million euro. The true potential of this car however is not expressed by its visual appearance but by its unique performance characteristics.Precisely, the powerful drivetrain comprises of potent V12 engine and an electric motor. Their total combined power is of 1,050 hp (772 kW), 860 hp coming from the V12 and 190 hp – from the electric motor. If you wonder about the maximum torque – it is over 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). Mr. Simon will definitely enjoy some performance, right?

  • The Beauty and the Performer, Starring FXX K [VIDEO]

    2015 Ferrari FXX KThe FXX K was officially unveiled at the Finali Mondiali in Abu Dhabi and it is the result of the cooperative work by Ferrari’s GT and the GES racing divisions. This incredible and extreme model is built and available only for track use.  It was especially forged with unseen aerodynamic and engine efficiency . Interesting fact is that this car won the first prize for design and not for its performance. Curious, right?

    The Ferrari Styling Centre team has created an absolute masterpiece, in which every single line of the design serves not just for aesthetic purpose, but for boosting the performance. The crushing design is entirely a product of hand-made-work, personally done by the Ferrari engineers and aerodynamic specialists. Every single panel is greatly redesigned to bring an extra downforce, but without lowering the high standards of body aesthetics.

    For instance, take a look at the put on top of vertical rear fins, that recall the tails of fighter panels. The fins are specially placed on the top wing, so it enchant the dynamic shape and aerodynamic abilities. And the LED stripes are definitely and eye-catcher. They replace the conventional headlights and broaden the front of the car. The lines add extra aggressive look, that, combined with the crushing design and looks brings us such a beauty of performance, that only the Ferrari team is able to deliver.

According to the British sports car builder, this hypercar is expected to be the most extreme model in the 102-year history of the brand. And after viewing the video it is hard to disagree with this statement.

  • World Debut of Ferrari FXX K

    Ferrari has officially revealed the FXX K ahead of its debut in Abu Dhabi during the Finali Mondiali event. The car is formerly known as the LeFerrari XX and is based on Maranello’s first hybrid machine. The K in its moniker refers to the “KERS” kinetic energy recovery system which it adopts in order to maximize its track performance.

    Now to the basics. The FXX K is equipped with the basic V12-plus-electric engine just like the road-going LaFerrari. This time around, though, it generates more power. Presicely, 101bhp more power. As a result, the car shows off with a total output of 1036bhp. Thus, there is 848bhp that derives from the 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine and 187bhp from the electric motor. Combined maximum torque is estimated at 664 lb-ft.

    Even though Ferrari hasn’t announced any performance inormation for the LeFerrari, it is expected to dazzle with an amazing 0-62 mph sprint time of no more than three seconds. As it seems, it is going to be really fast. And furios. (Those just cant exist separately.)

    The new Ferrari FXX K has attained a number of additional devices and features. At the front there is a 30 mm lower twin-profile spoiler, with vertical fins which tranmist air over the car’s flanks, and propels the efficiency of the aerodynamic underbody. The verticle fin-winglet arrangements on each side of the retractable rear spoiler function as guide vanes and boost the spoilers efficiency in optimized downforce mode.

    According to Ferrari, this results in 50% improvement in downforce in the low drag configuration and a 30% improvement in the more aggressive downforce configuration with a final figure of 540 kg at 200 km/h.

    Finally, the dynamics of the FXX K are enhanced even more by the use of Pirelli slicks complete with sensors that monitor longitudinal, lateral and radial acceleration, as well as temperature and pressure.
