The stunning Ferrari FXX is the most advanced GT racer ever
to come out of Maranello.
|
The FXX is essentially a test car which can
be bought |
 |
|
Ferrari FXX buyers (around 20 of them) will become amateur test
drivers for Ferrari, the owners will have their data and driving
feedback gathered by Ferrari engineers and the information collected
will be compared with findings from Michael Schumacher, Rubens
Barrichello and Ferrari’s own professional Test Drivers.
This is done by a highly advanced feature of the Ferrari FXX,
a sophisticated onboard telemetry system which monitors and
records information on 39 different vehicle dynamic parameters
in real time. The system is also able to record other data as
required by specific circumstances.
The findings from this unique collaboration between Ferrari
and FXX owners will go into building future extreme models capable
of delivering immaculate performance.
The FXX has not been homologated for road use and therefore
will not be a competition model. The FXX will be used exclusively
on the track as part of this specific ongoing research and development
program featuring this first ever group of what Ferrari calls
'Client Test Drivers'.
The Ferrari FXX is powered by a potent 6,262 cc V12 making over
800 hp at 8,500 rpm. The sequential transmission, using F1 related
technology can make a gearchange in 100 ms. That's nearly as
fast as a Ferrari F1 car.
The FXX’s aerodynamic shape is particularly impressive.
Based on the Ferrari Enzo, the added spoilers and modified bodywork
results in a 40% increase in downforce than ever achieved before.
As an added bonus, it is possible to adjust the FXX’s spoiler
to suit the specific circuit.
Because of the extreme performance available from the FXX, buyers
receive training from processional Ferrari test drivers at the
Fiorano Circuit where Ferrari does most of it's testing.
As another perk, the seat and pedals are individually tailored
to suit each driver.
The Ferrari FXX package also includes entry into a series of
track events to be organised by Ferrari on various international-level
circuits over the next two years. During these races an official
team of Ferrari technicians will be on hand to provide any assistance
and support required by the lucky FXX owner.
