Ferrari FXX Evolution Package

What are the Italians up to now? Spotted here sporting a lightly camoflaged front nose is the Ferrari FXX - a car that is supposedly only allowed to be driven at special track days pre-approved by Ferrari. Also to add fuel to the fire, this picture was taken from the rear gate of the Maranello factory which we have seen a number of prototypes emerge from for on the road testing in the past.

From what we can see through the camoflage, there are no visible elements to distinguish it from the FXX we have seen in the past. But due to the very strict nature which Ferrari operates the testing of the FXX, it appears unlikely this could be an updated or modified version. This leaves the possibility that this could be a mule for an all new flagship and potentially successor to the all conquering Enzo, or are we just left dreaming of what could be yet again?

Think you know what it is? Let us know below.

They need to build a car that can beat the Veyron- hows about a super-tuned Enzo... call it the Ferrari Caeser after all he beat France and Germany didnt he?

Veyron would only beat it in a straight line.

My guess.......paint protection. You always see alot of new Ferraris with that kind of protection driving out from the factory.

I can't remember very well, but I guess that the F430 was used as an early prototype for the california

I'm guessing a drivetrain/suspension mule for the new flagship based on the millechile concept/idea.

I think veyron its no match for a real car like this or the McLaren F1LM they didnt need 4 turbos!!! or 8Lt engine...this cars arent tuned VW ...these are serius cars...and about the street going...money talks

Amen...Lets say the Veyron is somehow faster...Its just not the same as driving this kind of car. I dont usually like Ferraris too much...but this car is one of the no-bull-sh!t car. an 800hp 6.0L V12...its insanity, i love it.

What's with the comparison of ferrari vs veyron??? The two companies never really competed, it's like comparing a BMW M3 with the Enzo. Two completely different cars each great at what they wanted to achieve. Ferrari will NEVER go into the market that Bugatti has and vise versa. Anyways back to this article, it is almost like Ferrari wanted to build up hype for a new Enzo, because that's a stock FXX which everybody knows what it looks like so why hide it unless you want people to know that you are working on a crazy version of the enzo based on the FXX.

I agree with Rad...most people here are just spouting their own personal opinions with no rhyme or reason. There is no discounting the performance of The Bugatti Veyron or The Ferrari Enzo/Enzo replacement...they are both superb automobiles and rolling technological showcases. I can't help but tweak Mr. M7 though...where is BMWs ultimate driving machine in this league....

This car is legal only on race tracks around the world...it cant be street driven...rest assured at the least...when Ferrari holds an FXX race day...every buyer of this car will show up. This car wasnt sold to pussies

it's pretty simple if you think a bit. what is the FXX ? a very special Ferrari that is used to pioneer and test new technical solutions that will eventually end up on the future Ferraris for the road. bearing this in mind, that car is likely to be a "mule" for testing such solutions on the open road and not only on the private tracks of the prancing horse. as simple as that.
