German super tuner edo competition, who somehow do not feel the need to capitalize their name, claim to have made the Ferrari FXX race car a street legal vee-hickle (go ahead, say it like you were Johnny Cash).

Or maybe they're just driving on the streets with an FXX race car and taunting the cops, as seen in the video here.

The fine folks at edo competition say that with a few add-ons they've manage to obey all the laws for a street-worthy vehicle in Germany. A proper windshield, all the required lighting, hand brake, and an exhaust system that makes the FXX meet all emissions standards. A new suspension has also been added with damping and adjustable compression.

No mention of bumpers, though, which one would think would be the first thing you'd need to make a race car street legal. Otherwise, scraping a cement pillar at the local shopping mall with your new FXX may become an expensive lesson in obeying the law.

It sounds amazing, but please... Give me three good reasons why you would want to drive this on a public road.

To drive on the Nürburgring Nordschleife without paying a high rental fee.

the ring is tooo bumpy. I know this is a track car lol. The article is about making this track car street legal. But not that track.... Thats like taking ur 4wd porsche cayenne or ur infinity FX off roading in muddy, or rocky terrain. Will it work? sure. Do u do it? no, because you feel too self cousious and youll reduce the life of the car dramatically. Do you really want to do that to a car that you can sell for ten times more what u bought it for in the future.

They are those little translucent squares shown in the pics..two slots beneath the exhaust pipes... probably just some LED's.. not to mess with the design of this masterpiece

If i owned this car i would have it in my house in the lounge room on a rotating floor so i could explore all those amazing lines and sketch it, and id properly even talk to it.. because here in New Zealand our roads are very bad quality and our long straights are laughable compared to America, europe etc but there are plenty of twisty and testing corners that's why the GT-R fits in so well here, its right in its elements and its not uncommon to see 500-800hp R32, R33, R34s every day so i wouldn't Say bye bye gt-r or ZR-1, but this is a priceless masterpiece from the 21st century, and Its Italian so maybe even a little of the blood line of Leonardo da vinci. Its definitely eye candy

Somehow it reminds me of McLaren's F1 LM version.... a race track car "converted" to be street legal... uncomfortable, but i can image worth it...

This car would be perfect in South Africa. Long fast roads and the occasional twisty parts, but otherwise fast,oh yes and the traffic cops are corrupt so you can pay them off if caught speeding. Dmn this car is super sexy and exotic
