    Ok guys, I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, but how do you say this? It's the first Fcar with a name like this. I figured it is the "F20" because only about twenty made. Or is it the F, X, X?

    YES! Its kinda annoying when people say F2X when it is the FXX. It is like calling the Enzo the F60.

    FXX doesnt really roll off the tounge very well, but neither does F2X really.

    I did read that the XX designation does relate to only 20 cars to be built.

    Frankly, if I owned an FXX, I would not care how it is pronounced. And I am sure after you drive one, the XX actually refers to some colorful metephor that you would use to refer to the new skid marks in your pants.

    Such as "Holy F'n X (expletive deleted), X (expletive deleted)!!"

    Or something like that.

    I've always wondered why people wrote it F2X when it requires more work than FXX. NNO i can understand cause arguably ur using one less letter (we'll disregard the fact that you're making use of caps lock or god forbid the shift key..).
