    I was looking at pictures from a Challange Race and noticed there was a red FXX and a Yellow FXX that both had swap shop decals on the car. Do they own two FXX?

    The owner of the red car is very good friends with the owner of the yellow car, so he carries SwapShop as well! Simples!!

    I noticed that too.

    When I went there about 3-4 months ago, there was no FXX in there, but, they had what looked to be a spoiler from a red one and pics of a red one. I got pretty confused!

    The owner is Preston Henn. He has one of the most sought out Ferrari collections incuding a rare Yellow F50 and this '65 275 GTB Comp.

    Some of it sits in a small museum in the middle of a giant flea market. A really funky place to stumble upon some rare and hyper expensive thoroughbreds.

    This is in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunrise Boulevard. Huge flea market. I just happened to find it trying to kill a few hours before a flight.

    Dont know if the race car and merc were new, this is the first time i've seen this.

    From what I saw on there website plus what I googled it seems like he has ALOT of cars. Old stuff new stuff and some pretty rare race cars too. Enzo, CGT, 996 GT1 Race car, FXX and the list goes on.

    The porsche 935 is one of his race cars that he won Daytona 24 with A. J. Foyt, Bob Wollek, and Claude Ballot-Lena in 1983. He has had it since then.

    Brings back a lot of memories.

    IIRC Bob Wollek was killed riding a bicycle at Sebring by a passenger car.

    They yellow one was probably over in Italy, the red one is about to be shipped to Italy for a 100 HP upgrade.

    The yellow FXX is back in there now.

    so what should be the exact HP output power versions of FXX: "normal", evolution 1 and evolution 2? 800, 860 and now 960 HP?
    Am I correct?

    Nice for the new owners of 599 XX expecting to get a better car than the "old" FXX!

    If we consider present FXX (evolution 1) quicker than 599XX (as Chalstrad is confirming in one of his last post) in strait lines, then with 100 more HP now, "new" FXX version (evolution 2) would be quite interesting for the coming years.
