This Ferrari FXX, one of only 38 Ferrari FXX test cars ever to be built and the only silver Ferrari FXX to ever be delivered, is believed to be owned by Japanese businessman Mr. Yabumoto of MAZAK Corporation.
This may be your only chance ever to own one of these vehicles as the owners are all “hand selected” by Ferrari. This one is up for sale for around R22,5 million, and if using your FXX exclusively on the race track is not your type of thing, you could probably take it to super tuners Edo Competition who recently built the first street-legal FXX.
You can find the advert for this rarity here. Here’s an onboard video from an FXX so you know what to expect when you take delivery.
You’d expect Ferrari’s 599 GTB Fiorano, which packs 456kW, would be an almost perfect car but Edo Competition don’t agree and so came up with two modified versions of the 599.
The first one uses Ferrari’s 6.0-litre V12 engine, which now produces 478kW, the extra power coming from a recalibrated ECU, modified intake system, performance exhaust and high-flow catalytic converters.
The second version, called 630 GTB Fiorano is based on the 6.3-litre engine from the Ferrari FXX and boasts an impressive 551kW.
Other changes include a whole new suspension developed on the race track, new high-flow exhaust system with electronic butterfly valve control, plus a you get a remote control for adjusting the sound intensity.
The car is lowered by 20mm in the front and 40mm at the back and receives 20-inch wheels, available in custom colors.
It is the ultra exclusive version of the ultra exclusive supercar based on another ultra exclusive supercar.
The Ferrari FXX is the most advanced GT car ever to come out of Maranello and it has been updated with the Evoluzione package. The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione is powered by a 6.2-litre V12 engine that now develops 640kW at 9500 rpm. Changing gears takes 60ms, a drop of 20ms on the previous time. The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione has revised gear ratios that have been adapted to make use of an extra 1000 rpm that are now delivered by the engine.
The Ferrari FXX is not homologated for road use and there are no plans to compete with it either. In special projects like this Ferrari doesn’t go looking for customers. Instead it takes applications and chooses the lucky few from their exclusive client list.
The Ferrari FXX Evoluzione package includes participation in a series of track events that Ferrari is organising at international circuits for 2008/2009. Six events are planned for each year (two in North America, two in Europe and two in Asia). In addition to these, the Ferrari FXX’s will also be participating, as per tradition, in the prestigious end-of-season Ferrari World Finals. The cars will be backed up at each event by a 15-member official team made up of engineers, electronics experts and mechanics capable of providing complete assistance to clients.
This exclusivity has its price though and the FXX Evoluzione is reported to cost about US$2.8 million.
