		The FXX owes much to the Enzo, Ferrari's limited-production super car, but it is even more advanced in its conception and is the culmination of Ferrari's expertise in building special limited-series sports cars combined with its racing experience.
		The FXX has a dry weight of 2546 pounds, with a power-to-weight ratio of 3.18 pounds per horsepower, and has completed a lap of Ferrari's own Fiorano test track in under 1'18''00 - a time that gives an indication of the sheer power and performance of the car.
		The fact that the FXX uses slick tires and has an inbuilt telemetry system provides a further hint as to its credentials as a folly for the rich - it cannot legally be used on the road, neither can it compete in any form of officially-sanctioned racing.

	IGN: Ferrari FXX
		According to Ferrari, this FXX is a totally separate beast from the Enzo, that's why the word "Enzo" is nowhere to be found in the name "FXX".
		Ferrari's own press material says that this aerodynamic shape results in "40% higher downforce than ever achieved before." If the company is referring to a 40 percent increase over the Enzo or something else, we don't know.
		These FXX owners will also be privy to any exclusive track days held by Ferrari.

	Ferrari FXX Super Enzo at Sybarites.org
		Now Ferrari is introducing the FXX program, the ultimate fantasy league through which, by the spring of 2006, a blessed few mostly Europeans and a few Americans are on the short list will be invited to purchase an Enzo-based, 250 mph, 800 hp GT car.
		Ferrari will build only 20 FXX cars (hence the Roman numeral designation) by the end of this year, and the company will scrutinize all owner-driver applicants for their dedication, experience, ability, and fitness.
		The FXX car itself could be considered the Super Enzo, a heavily revised version of the limited edition Enzo (with its piddling 660 hp) and the fastest-ever Ferrari.

	Ferrari FXX makes Bologna debut - 4Car News from Channel 4
		The FXX is a track-only prototype, which has not been homologated for racing and Ferrari is proposing to run a programme involving its customers' feedback to research and development programmes.
		The first cars have already been delivered, with "shakedown" testing taking place at Fiorano; the last of the 29 FXX examples will be with their owners by the end of April 2006.
		Its gearchange is said to be almost as fast as that of Ferrari's F1 cars and, with a weight of just 1,155kg, it's safe to say that the FXX is pretty damn fast.

		Fiat's (nyse: FIA - news - people) Ferrari subsidiary makes some of the fastest cars in the world, but it is about to offer a vehicle that is extreme even by Ferrari standards: the FXX prototype, a modified version of the Enzo Ferrari supercar.
		In a recent statement, Ferrari said it is seeking "highly skilled, non-professional client test drivers," whose performances in the FXX will be compared and supplemented with suggestions from racing legend Michael Schumacher and Ferrari's professional test drivers.
		Ferrari technicians will discuss information they gather from the FXX's track performance with the clients, in order to ensure the car is kept "constantly updated," according to Ferrari.

		Ferrari dont really care if some people may think it is ugly, the shape may not be so beautiful because its body and aerodynamics were obviously designed for one thing.....to be the best supercar.
		Ferrari is still one of the very few automakers in the world (if not the only one) which does not advertise or market is car line-up because its cars' desirability is amazing
		I'm sorry to be a bit harsh here, but Ferrari doesn't really have to care about anything, they could stuck a badge to a dog poo and it'll sell like hot cakes...

		Ferrari have, of late, been fighting with the perception that their vehicles are losing their historical sense of exclusivity and that struggle explains a lot of their recent actions.
		With a production of over 5000 vehicles in 2004 and more projected for 2005 Ferrari is focused on avoiding the air of the commonplace that has befallen Lamborghini since their purchase by Audi.
		Ferrari will provide a full support crew to drivers for these events, transport the vehicles, and provide storage in the Maranello factory between events.

		Ferrari also calls the FXX a prototype, but it's a production car by definition because the company is selling it for about $1.8 million.
		It may look bare-bones, but FXX owners and their team of technicians can monitor 40 telemetry parameters from the cockpit.

		But after being thrown around in the passenger seat of an FXX driven in anger, no more proof was needed that this prototype is considerably different underneath the skin from the already legendary 2002-2004 Ferrari Enzo.
		The white stripe going down the middle of the entire car may be the FXX’s most prominent visual distinction from the Enzo, along with the multi-tiered spoiler, beady headlights and sculpted round quad exhaust pipes in place of Ferrari’s traditionally round taillights.
		Unlike Ferrari’s road cars, however, the FXX is very much a prototype for a future model, so Ferrari is still selective in the information it gives its owners about the vehicles.

		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.
		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.
