overview

Ferrari FXX
Ferrari FXX (former owner: Michael Schumacher )

The Ferrari FXX was developed with the help of the then Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello . The special thing about the model, however, is that amateur test drivers were also significantly involved in the development. The tire manufacturer Bridgestone developed 19-inch slicks especially for this car . The generously dimensioned brake system with ceramic brake discs had a special cooling system. The FXX was a single-seater, but Ferrari built in a passenger seat on request.

In contrast to the base vehicle (Ferrari Enzo), the FXX was not approved for use on public roads. It was produced in a limited edition of 30 copies, cost 1.5 million euros and was only offered to selected customers. The FXX prototype was converted into carbon fiber for Jean Todt . The 30th and officially last copy was initially owned by Michael Schumacher , but was sold in 2013 for 2.4 million euros. Schumacher had received one of only two black-painted FXXs, but his vehicle did not have a white vertical stripe. There was also a yellow, a blue, a white, a silver-blue and a silver FXX; all other vehicles wore the Italian standard racing color Rosso Corsa , with one car covered with orange-red and another car with white foil.

Every owner of a Ferrari FXX was free to take part in a racing or test series, the "FXX Program". The events took place in 2006 in Homestead , Fuji , Mont-Tremblant , Spa-Francorchamps , at the Nürburgring and in Monza . These events gave owners the opportunity to move their Ferrari FXX around the circuit.

Among other things, it contained an engine update with an increase in output to 632 kW (860 hp), and the maximum speed was increased by 1000 rpm.

The disengageable traction control (with nine programs) was adapted to the new speed level, there were also new, lower-wear brakes and a more tire-friendly chassis. The aerodynamics have been revised: there were new spoilers and a modified diffuser . In addition, the paintwork on the rear fenders was changed, and there were no longer any median strips. According to a press release from Ferrari, the technical improvements have reduced the lap time on the home track in Fiorano from 1 min. 18 sec. To 1 min. 16 sec.
