TOP GEAR: The Stig hits the track in the 860hp FXX Evoluzione

Amazing. Just amazing. This thing destroys the Gumpert by a million miles. To bad the owners can't take them home after paying Bugatti money for them

This appearance was with Michael Schumakers FXX, but the time was disqualified secondary to the car using slicks instead of street tires. Then again this car was truly never intended to ever drive on the streets. Its a race car in Enzo Ferrari clothinng.......plus ta

This car might as well have been an open wheeler with a carbon shell and more comfortable seating. Just amazing. Pity the owners can't take them home.

I think its the only car I have ever seen on Top Gear that never over or under steered. Very impressive. This thing makes an enzo look like a weak 360 in comparison.

I just wonder how is it that the owner will pay a million plus for the car in all and never gets to park it in his garage and drive it on the street.

It's like a bullet with wheels...

As a side note... Looks like they used Michael Schumacher's personal FXX...

Quote:

A black unstriped Ferrari FXX, owned by Michael Schumacher, was exhibited on the BBC's Top Gear show on 21 June 2009. The car completed a lap of Top Gear's circuit in 1 minute and 10.7 seconds. The episode ended with the Ferrari FXX in first place on the board, beating the previous record of 1 minute 17.1 seconds previously held by a Gumpert Apollo S. However, the time was not kept as the FXX had slick tires on during the lap.
