    I was on vacation in Las Vegas over the weekend and on my last day I took a walk over to the the Ferrari dealership at the Wynn. Sitting in the middle of the gallery was a red Enzo FXX which they recently acquired.

    The car was stunning in person. I've never had the chance to see an Enzo before, so this was definitely a shock to me when I walked in. It's a shame that they don't allow pictures to be taken :(

    Just thought I would share, its not everyday you can come across a car like this.

    It's Penske personal FXX. It is truly an amazing machine. Not pretty but so desirable.

    I think there are 2 Enzo's in Vegas, not sure I know 1 is there.

    As for the FXX I've also seen one in the flesh. Acutally I've seen 2 different FXX's in the same day. Preston Henn has a yellow 1 in Miami at his swap shop. The other FXX I saw was a red one sitting in a garage in Miami, it was BAD ASS!!!! If I remember correctly it just came back from Italty or just going to Italty to get an HP upgrade. Its a wickedly evil looking car. I got pics to!!!

    what info i do know, is they increased from 6.0 to 6.3L displacement, and the ECU tuning of course...rumor is cylinder head work, cams and valvetrain changes too

    Interesting, I guess some people can't be satisfied and are always looking for more. I would imagine if I owned an Enzo FXX that I would be happy with the performance and feel no need to improve anything with a vehicle like this. Maybe I'd be wrong though.

    It's true pictures don't do any justice. These cars are incredible and look so aggressive. Haven't seen one on track though so I can't wait to hear it in real.
