my Honda makes about 180 HP per liter, and it's NA.....

























ok, so it's only a 1/4 liter, but with 45hp at 220 lbs. you do the math She pulls like a SOB up to about 70mph

 

Competition Stradale! DUH!!! Just kidding. I think it's the Competition Stradale type stripes?

 

Wow, that is pretty hideous but I guess it's form defines function, take no prisoners.

About hp/L, 130/L is absolutely insane, especially with an engine that size. I don't think there's anything N/A in a car that makes that much at over 1L. So 6.2 is just out of this world.

Ferrari made an extra one for the pope, number 400. Since he died it will be up for auction at a UK auction one of these days.
You last chance to get a new one since I don't think the pope drove his.

 

I actually like the wing on the back.....especially at this angle.




Looks like a miniature version of the F1 cars without ruining the overall shape. Guess all those diffusers, tunnels through the car and flush underbelly panels aren't enough to get the proper downforce. A good old fashion wing on the back is still king. Those kids with huge wings on their accords and Civics must know something.

 

130hp/L is not that big of a deal when car cost 1.8 mill and is not street legal. You can get that with your stock S2000 with some cam work and other offroad mods.

 

umm, interesting, from the picss, wouldn't the design of the headlights produce a bit more drag than the normal ones with a glass cover?

 

Are those the exhaust tips sticking out where the taillights should be? I wasn't really feelin' the car until AmethySC posted those nicer pics, now I think it's absolutely gorgeous!!

 

Maranello, 15th June – Ferrari has developed a truly innovative technical collaboration programme around the FXX prototype aimed at its most dedicated and passionate Clients.

The FXX is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello and its mission is to involve Ferrari’s most valued Clients as genuine Prancing Horse Test Drivers in their own right. The wealth of data and experience gathered in the course of this very special programme will be exceptionally important.

In fact, the feedback from these highly skilled, non-professional Client Test Drivers will be compared and supplemented with suggestions from Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello and Ferrari’s professional in-house Test Drivers.

Every Client who signs up for the FXX project by purchasing one of the estimated 20 or so cars being built, will actually be joining Team Ferrari, and will have his driving experiences at the wheel of this new car monitored directly by the Prancing Horse’s technicians and specialists.

The FXX is the fruit of Ferrari’s know-how in building special limited-series sports cars combined with, of course, its racing experience. It will provide the basic framework on which the specifics of future extreme models will be worked out. The exceptionally powerful FXX delivers absolutely blistering performance on all fronts.

The FXX has not been homologated for road use and thus will not be a competition model. It will be used exclusively on the track as part of a specific ongoing research and development programme featuring this first ever group of Client Test Drivers.

The FXX is powered by an imposing 6,262 cc V12 engine that can punch out over 800 hp at 8,500 rpm. Its gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 strategies, delivering gear change times of under 100 ms. This is almost as fast as the F1 single-seaters, themselves the absolute pinnacle of current technological achievement.

The FXX’s aerodynamic design is particularly innovative too as it has resulted in a shape that produces 40% higher downforce than ever achieved before. It is also possible to adjust the FXX’s mobile spoiler configuration to suit the specific circuit.

Ferrari’s partnership with Bridgestone has resulted in the development of a specific 19” slick tyre for this particular model. Likewise Brembo has created a special brake cooling and pad system for the FXX’s extra large Composite Ceramic Material disc brakes.

The Client Test Drivers will also be able to share their unique track experience with a passenger – in fact a second seat is available.

What really sets the FXX apart, however, is the sophisticated telemetry system which will monitor and give feedback on 39 different vehicle dynamics parameters in real time. The system is also able to record other data as demanded by specific circumstances.

The information gathered will then be analysed by the Ferrari technicians working on the programme and discussed with the individual Client Drivers to ensure that the car is kept constantly updated.

The FXX package also includes participation in a series of track events to be organised by Ferrari on various international-level circuits over the coming two years. On these occasions, an official team of technicians will be on hand to provide any assistance and support required by the Client Test Driver.

In addition to these truly unique official events, Clients will also be able to take their cars out on the track independently during private sessions. Clients wishing to leave their car at Maranello will be glad to know that the vehicles will be transported directly by Ferrari to the various European circuits for the scheduled events.

Given the car’s exceptional performance and the unique nature of the package, delivery of each FXX will also include an ad hoc driving course. The instructors will, of course, be professional drivers and the courses will take place at the Fiorano Circuit where Ferrari does its most important F1 single-seaters testing.

After the seat and the pedals have been individually tailored to each driver, there will be a traditional “shakedown” followed by a training session dedicated to test driving methodologies.

After a careful client order selection process, the first FXXs will be delivered by the end of this year. The initial testing of the definitive car is currently taking place at Fiorano. The FXX and the relative package cost a total of 1.5 million euro (excluding taxes) and applications to join the programme are being evaluated by a special in-house committee.

Sigh, I welcome improved performance and whatever it takes to make cars superior to its predecessors and competitors, but design was clearly not something they were concerned with. This **** is ugly. Welp, gotta do what you gotta do.
