Default Ferrari Rice



Big wing and stickers apparently give an extra 50hp.

Well I guess it would go fast enough to make use of it.

Stickers add 30 hp but devalued 60grand.

You guys are kidding right?

That's an official limited release FXX model. It's based on the Enzo but with modifications for more power and torque, advanced engine and chassis electronics plus an updated aerodynamic package.

Oh, to own one, you had to be asked by Ferrari if you wanted to purchase it. Basically, you already had to be a repeat customer.

The other great thing is that you get to race it and take part in test days. To make sure you made the most of the car and extended your abilities. You also received personal tuition from legendary Ferrari test driver, Dario Benuzzi and a 7 Time World Champion in M.Schumacher...

You are tricked. The real thing is not street legal and looks like this
instead of this
The owner apparently was not chosen, but really wanted to be a part of it...

Thats rice indeed. IIRC only 399 Enzos were built, with atleast 5 written off. Thats as rare as rice gets.

And I think only abot 20 FXXs were built? But they are for track only.

Perrys, you were right. I was tricked... Damnit!!!

But, it's been a 2 years since I had seen a picture of one.

Still everything I said about the FXX model was true!

Here is a link for those that want to find out more.

That's hilarious...! I wonder if his Ferrari mates take the p1ss out of him for not being able to get an FXX.

Rich man: "Hey, I bought an Enzo off you - surely you can sell me an FXX?"
Ferrari: "No."
Rich man: "But I've bought 14 Ferraris in the last three years! Surely I'm eligable to have an FXX?"
Ferrari: "No."
Rich man: "Please, just invite me. I'm a really good driver."
Ferrari: "No."
Rich man: "Well, do you sell any FXX parts so that I can upgrade my Enzo to FXX spec?"
Ferrari: "No."
Rich man: "So is there any way I can get an FXX? I've got lots of money..."
Ferrari: "No."
Rich man: "Fine. I'll build my own..."

You buy an Enzo, you spend the next 18 months rubbing it in to everyone you know how good your car is. Then Ferrari release the FXX and your car is knocked off the mantle.

I like to call it the "HSV disease"

Or the newly released F430 Scuderia for a third of the price of Enzo. Matches FXX around Fiorano and beats Enzo by a second.

IIRC You had to be selected by the ferrai bosses to own an enzo in the first place. So to me thats wrong even if I had the money

I am talking about the extra that he has added to the enzo. The way I see it, If you can't appreciate it for the amount of engineering and history behind it then dont mod it or own it
