If you are talking about the hyper series, the older ones worth even more

No no just talking about older in general like an 80's or 90's Ferrari. I'd take an even older one without a doubt or the older 'supercars' yes. What I mean is a 360 Modena to a F430 to a 458 Italia, 612 Scaglietti to F12 Berlinetta etc.. with the exception of design which is subjective, the latter cars outdo the former by a good margin too. I'd simply be wanting the latest and greatest

I know exactly what you mean.

I thank god I don't care for the latest and greatest, for the same price today, I much rather have a F360/F430 then a brand new RC-F

There is a limit though, as good looking and as amazing sounding as the F355, it start to feel pretty old.

Default LaFerrari XX spied testing at Fiorano circuit


Click here to view more photos


Rumored to have 1,050 bhp

The LaFerrari XX has been spied once again undergoing testing, this time at home around the Fiorano circuit.

The Los Angeles Auto Show might be in full swing but there's something interesting going on in Europe too as our spy photographers grabbed on camera a fully camouflaged prototype of the LaFerrari XX. The track-only prancing horse appears to be wider than the road-going version and also has two fixed rear spoilers which we haven't seen before. Other changes include additional front air intakes, dual exhaust system and a lower front spoiler lip.

Just like the regular LaFerrari, the hardcore XX version will make use of a V12 6.3-liter but this has been upgraded to deliver an extra 100 bhp (74 kW) for a grand total (including hybrid system) of 1,050 bhp (782 kW). The added oomph along with racing tires and optimized aerodynamics will allegedly allow the vehicle to run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in less than three seconds on its way onto a top speed of more than 217 mph (350 km/h).

Only around 30 cars will ever be built and each is estimated to cost £2M ($3.1M / €2.5M). All cars will be stored by Ferrari at Maranello where the company's technical team will provide the necessary maintenance. A full reveal is expected to occur early December at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali event in Abu Dhabi.

Default Ferrari LaFerrari XX renderings show a future flagship supercar


Click here to view more renders


Could have 1,050 PS

The upcoming flagship model of Ferrari – the LaFerrari XX, has been digitally envisioned.

The project is based on the standard LaFerrari and is the work of Motorionline designer Daniele Pelligra. Back in June this year we showed you his take on the rumored Le Mans LMP1 race car, also based on the Ferrari LaFerrari.

The talented Sicilian artist has made a series of visual changes to the car with the addition of new aerodynamic elements from carbon fiber and new air intakes. The front bumper is different compared to the LaFerrari, while the nose echoes F1 cars.

It is believed the LaFerrari XX will debut during the Ferrari Finali Mondiali event in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for December 3-6. Previous reports have suggested the machine will have a 6.3-liter V12 engine and a tweaked electric motor for a total system output of 1,050 PS (772 kW). Production will reportedly be limited to only 30 units.

CAR was the first magazine in the world to twin-test the McLaren P1 against the LaFerrari. Two of the world's fastest hybrid supercars go head to head. Enjoy the video!
LaFerrari wins again.

Default La Ferrari XXK Officialy unveiled

Ferrari has officially unveiled the FXX K ahead of its debut during the Finali Mondiali event in Abu Dhabi.

Formerly known as the LaFerrari XX, the car is based on the LaFerrari, the company’s first hybrid machine, and will be launched next year. The K in its moniker is a reference to the KERS kinetic energy recovery system it adopts. The FXX K will never be used in competition and has been developed to be “completely uncompromising, incorporating technological innovations”. It will be offered to an exclusive group of clients with whom the company will roll out a test program over the coming two years.

As rumored before, the FXX K unleashes a maximum output of 1050 PS (772 kW) thanks to an 860 PS (633 kW) V12 engine and a 190 PS (140 kW) electric motor. The maximum torque is more than 900 Nm (664 lb-ft).

The 6.2-liter V12 of the machine features new camshafts and a modified valve train with mechanical rather than hydraulic tappets. The intake manifolds have been redesigned and given a special type of polishing treatment. The exhaust system has been also modified as its silencers have been eliminated.

The optimized HY-KERS system has a control unit from which the driver can select from four different modes. The Qualify mode gives maximum performance within a limited number of laps, the Long Run mode optimizes "performance consistency", the Manual Boost mode provides instant maximum torque delivery and the Fast Charge mode is suitable for a faster recharge of the car’s battery.

In terms of design, the front of the car is dominated by a twin-profile spoiler and a larger splitter, which is 30 mm lower than the standard one. Two pairs of vertical elements, an endplate and a dive plane, together with vertical fins channel the air towards the car’s flanks, generating “a longitudinal vortex that creates a localized depression”. On the side profile we see new side skirts, while at the back the tail section is now higher and features a mobile spoiler with a small wing on each side.

Ferrari says the result is a 50% improvement in down force in the low drag configuration and a 30% improvement in the more aggressive down force configuration, resulting in a figure of 540 kg (1,190 lbs) at 200 km/h (124 mph), more than double the road car’s 230 kg (507 lbs). The Italian company has also equipped the track-focused beast with Pirelli slicks complete with sensors that monitor longitudinal, lateral and radial acceleration, as well as temperature and pressure.

A five-position Manettino button on the steering wheels serves as a control unit for the intervention level of the E-Diff electronic differential, the F1-Trac traction control, the Racing SSC (Side Slip Angle Control) system and the high-performance ABS.

Prices and production numbers haven't been announced.

The last FXX had a similar wing, a little wing on the side in the rear. This K car just raise up the same wings higher.
