Default Ferrari Life Exclusive: FXX For Sale

The FXX is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello. With the FXX, Ferrari aimed to develop the skills of their most valued Clients to the level of genuine Ferrari Test Drivers.

Powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine, the FXX can punch out over 800 hp at 8,500 rpm. Its highly responsive gearbox is the result of the transfer of Formula 1 strategies, delivering gear-change times of less than 100 ms. This is almost as fast as Formula 1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.

What really sets the FXX apart, however, is its sophisticated telemetry system, which monitors and provides feedback on 39 different vehicle dynamic parameters in real time.

An evolution of the Enzo, in essence, the FXX shares some components with the original car, but numerous, significant developments are unique to the FXX.

The FXX's engine is based on the Enzo's, but displacement has been increased to 6,262 cc (6.3 L; 382.1 cu in) from 5,988 cc (6.0 L; 365.4 cu in). Output has been boosted from the Enzo's 660 PS (485.4 kW; 651.0 hp), to 812 PS (597.2 kW; 800.9 hp) at 8,500 rpm.

The gearbox incorporates the latest developments from Ferrari's F1 program. The brake pads were also upgraded from the Enzo. It does, however, retain the Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite discs found on the Enzo.

The tyres on the FXX are 19 inch slicks custom-developed for the car.

As with the Enzo, the seat and pedal configuration are custom fitted to the user's own measurements.

The FXX features comprehensive data-monitoring and telemetry that not only allows the driver to improve performance, but also provides Ferrari technicians with valuable data to improve the FXX and future road-going Ferraris.

A true 1 Owner FXX, Originally supplied by Carr Ferrari & Maserati in November 2005, This vehicle also had the Re-Paint and Engine upgrade to 850 bhp carried out by the Factory, This is 1 of 30 cars produced and a rare opportunity to buy this exclusive car and the only car in this colour, Price on Application, please phone for details UK 01392 822080, International +44 1392 822080.

Stunning car, can't imagine what'd be like to drive.

I love the blue color the original owner choose with the white insets, very tasteful and good looking.

The FXX is not as great as many think it is. You cant just use it wherever you want. I know some people at Ferrari that have quietly told me that a 360gt they have is faster.

What a great looking car. It is also listed on the Ferrari Approved site. It's the only FXX in the colour Tour de France Blu. It has 5,000miles on the clock and the price is POA.

Are you serious? A 360GT faster than an FXX.

I saw this car live on the Galleria Ferrari and its color looks absolutely stunning! The blu Tour de France is one of the best colors I have ever seen for a road car. Except this is not a road car.

That is part of the cache of the car, you get to be part of Ferrari's development team so to speak and have them maintain the car.

Schumacher's FXX completely destroyed Top Gear's hot lap record... I find it a bit hard to believe it could possibly be that slow..

edit: to put that into perspective:

Ferrari FXX: 1:10.7
Gumpert Apollo: 1:17.1
Ascari A10: 1:17.3
Koenigsegg CCXR: 1:17.6
Zonda F: 1:18.4
Maserati MC12: 1:18.9
Enzo Ferrari: 1:19.0
