    Someone else posted this in the regional Arizona section but did not consider that the rest of the country (and world) might like to see it as well! :)

    I was at the SEMA Show this week and stopped by the Wynn to pick up a few more articles of clothing. I almost did not go into the showroom since I have seen it many times. However, one of my friends had not been there before so I walked in with him so he would not have to pay. Half way down the showroom on the left my eyes settled on (easily) the most beautiful Ferrari I have ever seen! A red FXX!

    It belongs to Roger Penske and is currently on display there. Not sure how long it will be there but it's there now. If you're on your way to Vegas you have to stop by and see it in person. Pictures do not do it justice. Keep the cameras hidden since they will stop you from taking photos. If you are sly you can grab a few shots. Not sure what the big deal is but it is what it is.

    Here are a couple ....

    Is that FXX missing the center rear wing? Do you have any pictures of the rear that you could post? Maybe it was down, but it looks like it is missing it.

    Pretty car - do you know the SN?

    Is it the same as this one I saw in St. Louis? :)
    Look at the last picture Barry posted - is the center diffuser just in it's lowered position?

    It just arrived this weekend, and since I havent been there yet, I'm not 100% positive, but I heard they took the Enzo of his somewhere.

    Peter,

    I was kneeling when I took the second picture and so you can't see the center wing. It's just barely visible in the first picture I posted.

    I don't have the serial # for that FXX, sorry.

    Damn.

    I moved from Vegas to soon. Would have loved to see the FXX in person. I used to go down there weekly.

    I don't know, I still think that GTO is car porn. Most gorgeous wheels on any modern Ferrari, methinks.

    But for those times you need to get over 200mph I can see where an FXX would be handy. ;)

    I saw a black Enzo in a mall parking lot and did a double take. It is very science-fiction looking, to say the least.

    I got to see the Fxx at Wynn's on Thursday. Beautiful car. They also had a black Enzo there, with black interior.

    Wheels and everything else, Jon. That's why it's in the foreground.

    With the many really beautiful Ferrari's produced, I can't agree that the FXX is a beautiful car!

    Do they still have the showroom velvety-roped off? The first time I was there, they had the entire place rimmed with a red rope. I was not too happy. Every other dealership I have been to, will let you get face close if not seated in the cars. Many of the salesman I know are very friendly people and would do as much as they could because you are tifosi. This does not seem the case with Wynn.

    That Enzo is for sale too... Apparently triple black Enzos are very rare, and this one has something like 750 miles on it, and I believe the asking price is north of 1.3mil..

    It is amazing to see an FXX in person. It was just too bad it was parked next to an McLaren F1 LM, MC12, Enzo, CLK-GTR, and a Veyron. It kinda got lost in the shuffle :D



    And they're all owned by the same guy who I am determined to become best friends with.

    Yes, it costs $10 a person for the general public to get in. If you can prove that you're an owner (keys, insurance card, etc) then you can get yourself and your party in without charge.
