Ferrari FXX Evoluzione - Maranello's track toy gets even faster
Most enthusiasts are familiar with Ferrari's FXX supercar. Well, actually it's more of a racecar, as it's not actually street legal and is designed to be used exclusively by a new breed of gentleman racer in a Ferrari-organized Client Test Driver program. The program essentially allows those wealthy enough to afford a car the closest experience to being a Ferrari factory racer possible. Good news for them, then. Ferrari is extending the program through 2009 with an Evoluzione package designed to take the performance of the FXX to a new level.

The biggest news is that Ferrari's aforementioned Corsa Clienti along with Michael Schumacher himself, have further developed the FXX with a special Evoluzione kit which supposedly drops lap times around Ferrari's on-site test track, Fiorano, from 1 minute 18 seconds to just under 1 minute 16 seconds.

Virtually no part of the FXX has been left untouched by the Evoluzione kit. Changes start in the engine bay, where the 6.3-liter V-12 engine now develops a staggering 860 horsepower at 9,500 rpm -- 1,000 rpm higher than before. Cog-swapping is quicker at 60 milliseconds, versus 80 milliseconds for the old gearbox, and new gear ratios have been optimized for the new state of engine tune. No performance figures have been posted by Ferrari other than the aforementioned lap times, but given the output values, 0 to 60 mph runs should be dispatched in well under four seconds. Read Article
