FXX – Automobiles Review

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?

Ferrari FXX Evoluzione on Sale

Miller Motorcars now offer an extremely rare Ferrari FXX Evoluzione. The hyper car does not have a price tag, but we expect seven figures, because only the optional Evo kit was priced at $300,000.

The Italian manufacturer has initiated the FXX program back in 2005 as a race-spec evolution of the Enzo. Two years later, the car was fitted with an Evoluzione package boosting the 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine from 800HP (588 kW) to 860HP (630 kW). The engine is connected to a 6-speed Semi-automatic transmission. 0-100 km/h in less than 2.4 seconds and a top speed of over 400 km/h (250 mph).

Some of the special features include a carbon fiber body over carbon fibre tub with rear alloy subframe. The brake system comes from Brembo – CCM (carbon-ceramic) discs with 6-piston calipers at the front and carbon-ceramic discs with 4-piston calipers at the rear.

Ferrari produced 30 units of the FXX and only a few received the optional Evo kit. The model features a different livery and an updated rear wing. The gearbox is also updated to shift in just 60 milliseconds. Ferrari also altered the suspension and brakes together with the traction control which came with nine user-selectable settings.

This particular car has only 322 km (200 miles) on the clock!
