"Ferrari has launched a new supercar, along with a novel driving program.
The new FXX is a highly-modified Enzo, one featuring an 800-bhp 6.3-liter V-12, larger composite ceramic disc brakes with specially-designed Brembo pads and brake cooling system, and a reworked gearbox that shifts at nearly Formula 1 car-like speed. Reconfigured bodywork produces 40 percent greater downforce. But what really separates the FXX from other exotic machines is its advanced telemetry system that measures 39 different vehicle parameters, with the data reviewed by Ferrari test drivers, Rubens Barrichello and Michael Schumacher, thus offering the FXX’s new owner some sage driving advice (to say the least).
With the FXX being a purely competition car (not street legal), Ferrari will make occasional track day arrangements at various international circuits for the first two years. Delivery of the car will take place at the Italian legend’s famed test track, Fiorano, where the new owner will perform the initial shakedown.
Better hurry and place your order: Ferrari will only build “20 or so” FXX cars in total. The price for “Client Test Driver” status? A cool 1.5 million Euros."
