The Ferrari FXX is branded by Ferrari as Ferrari Granturismo although you can't tour with it. It's also known as a "Corse Clienti" for being only offered to their exclusive client list. For those A-listers, you can buy it but you don't really completely own it. It's a track only 'test car' that evolved from the street legal Enzo. If you were chosen to cough up a minimum of $2.3 million you are trained, tested and have full factory support. In essence you became a team driver of this prototype race car that is kept at Maranello or at your mansion and shipped with crew to the event you wish to enter as the engineers monitor test data. For 2005, 29 were sold by invitation with the custoized black #30 given to retiring Michael Schumacher This new body and aerodynamics offering 40% more downforce than the Enzo. There's a quicker shifting transmission for the 800 HP 6.3 liter V12. The FXX program continued to evolve culminating in the $4 million FXXK EVO. This is a very nicely done model by Hot Wheels Elite. The crew chief is a Tamiya assemble, paint and decal figure that actually from an earlier era.

IMO, that's one unattractive prancing horse 👎

- Good model, great pics.... but I have to agree with Steve. IMO, the opposing design language of "curved surfaces vs. straight edges" doesn't do this Ferrari any favors; but it was more about function rather than form so.... Nicely done figure!

I'm pretty sure I've read that the exclusive club has a compulsory fee that is collected every year. If a "member" opts out, because suddenly they're feeling some financial "tightness" to their billionaire status, they're stripped of their membership and placed at the end of the long waiting list. I think I'd sell one of my villas before I allowed myself to lose my racecar. 😀

So, it's a "track only test car". Well excuse me, but if I've so much $ comin outta my wazoo that car better be parked in my personal garage and ready to be driven whenever I choose.

It is a sensational and amazingly detailed model of this very impressive automobile ! Ferrari certainly pulled out all the stops with this one and the intricate replica definitely honors it.

@100ford2003 OK. I'll dig some up. I'm like you. I prefer the classics.

Not this one, Steve. It isn't street legal. Besides, it's in possession of the factory so they can prepare the car for the next private track racing venue. You'll have to use one of your personal Ferraris for those purposes. Perhaps you'll drive the one you keep at your Villa in Monte Carlo?So, it's a "track only test car". Well excuse me, but if I've so much $ comin outta my wazoo that car better be parked in my personal garage and ready to be driven whenever I choose.
