Ferrari FXX
Monday, January 09, 2006 8:38 PM
Prepare....








Ferrari is building only 20 or so FXX special editions (the Enzo name is gone) that will go to Maranello’s "most dedicated and passionate clients," selected by an in-house committee. That means long-time buyers who lost track of their net worth years ago and who have at least a sliver of competitive driving experience and talent.

Jordan Kruger could beat it.


First of all, I'd like to thank certain JBO'ers for being such Cobalt-nut-sucking tools.
Secondly, I'd like to thank Travis Kearny and Jordan Kruger for being so entertaining.

I <3 falnfenix, JimmyZ, Borsty, NJHK, and all the other intelligent people on JBO

Looks like ass. But I believe SpcmnSpff302 is correct, Jordan could take it.





Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

front end = beautiful
rear end = looks like a transformer in disguise

i'd still drive it!

Rear end looks like the front of a dodge truck!
Even if i had the money i wouldn't buy that.
I'm sure it's fun to drive though.

Horrible looking car. I don't even think it deserves to be called a car. More like a pile of crap if you are basing this solely on looks. The stripe down the middle and onto the side spoilers is hiddious. The front end looks like they slapped together every front end ever produced under the Ferrari name. The rear looks like they took a pair of scissors and started cutting out holes wherever they could. Hood pins??!?! Come on! Now it looks like some punk teenager who buys "performance parts" from AutoZone got to the car. I can say the same about the single wiper being right down the middle of the windshield in it's resting position versus being positioned on the passenger side on the Enzo.

Whoever designed the asthetics of this car needs to be shot. Ridiculous car with reidiculous styling along with a ridiculous selective sales process and price. I'm seeing a pricetag of $1,875,000 on fast-autos.net.

I can't believe Ferrari is parading this piece of junk around as their flagship model.

I'm also seeing on fast-autos.net that the car is a 6.2 liter v12 that produces 800bhp at 8500rpms. Motor trend claims the car weighs 2700 pounds. That's roughly the weight of our cars. I'm still not impressed. Why? Because for nearly 1.9 million dollars, anyone can build (or have built) something that can either match or beat the performance of this thing.

How do I figure? Well for one, the Ariel Atom (1100lb, 300hp supercharged Honda 4 banger engine, open wheel car) on Top Gear performed just under that of a Ferrari Enzo on their twisty track....with only 300bhp. The engine is completely stock from Honda with the exception of having a Jackson Racing supercharger slapped onto it. Imagine if Ariel built the engine up and threw a smaller pulley on the supercharger. What kills me is that the car costs ONLY $51,200!!! This goes to show that Ferrari performance is NOT out of reach for a decent price.

Then again, if you really want the Ferrari name.............have fun blowing your money that should be feeding Ethiopia on a stupid label.

That's my two cents.

From what I have heard they are not going to be for sale or leave their test track for that matter. The 20 people who are selected by Ferrari will be housed at the test track for a 6 month period and be turned into test drivers for Ferrari.

o_O I don't remember the Enzo looking so...ugly? Hell, I'd take a Modena or F450 over that any day . . .

you know i wonder how many books i could put in that rear of a book shelf lol



Re: Ferrari FXX

with this car its not about the look, its about how functional everything is. There are rich people out there that have nothing to do with their money, so they buy this car. Down the road its going to be worth a lot more. Its a good investment if you ask me.

Pfffft. You ever here of a little Ferrari called the Modena? Now that was a hot Ferrari



Re: Ferrari FXX

form over function is one of the reason some of these 220mph+ cars like the bugatti look a little wierd as opposed to a more eye pleasing ferrari 430 for example.

and if you haven't seen it in person I would withold judgement, its beautiful.
Re: Ferrari FXX

i like the exhaust coming out of the tail light holes




like said previously, this car isn't about looking good - it's about being the most badass ferrari ever created. and i think it does a good job at it







Re: Ferrari FXX

FXX > my 2002 2200... thats all i have to say. Sure it may not be the best looking car they have put out but it's still a masterpiece.

Please tell us how you really feel. lol
Talk about all of you riping a car apart. haha
Personally I think the Ferrari 612 Scagliatti is fugly

Yes, I know for sure it will grab your attention too.

Look how long and low that front is, all to cut the wind and give downforce. I like the fact that this car has a button that will raise the front to enter a entrance ramp.
Hell, I wish I had that feature on my Z06.

I read the M/T article about that car (where the son of enzo ferrari almost wrecks one of the FXX's) that this is just a all out, non street legal strictly race car that will be raced only and tended to by top ferrari techs on the race circuit....you are basically buying into team ferrari and racing for them if you are so lucky. i dont care what it looks like, it looks perfectly fine to me anyways but i bet that thing more than performs when it comes down to it.
