    This could be a repost sorry if that is the case. I remember someone asking a while back what FXX stood for but there wasn't an answer given at the time. The lastest issue of Cavillino stated F was for Ferrari and XX was the roman numeral for 20, the no. of cars being built. Regards, Vern

    the project for Enzo car was in the basis called FX
    so the FXX means better than an Enzo "the supreme" it s the raison
    that they called it FXX.

    that all.

    ps: why did you created a thread for that?

    I thought it was something like Ferrari eXtreme eXperience.

    Why put the productionnumber in the name, when you don't even know exactly how much you are going to build anyway?

    I have no idea what I'm talking about because I have no sources, but here is my take on it.

    F40

    F50

    F60 (Enzo)

    F70 (Currently FXX)

    Make sense? But why not just call it F70 from the start?

    But the Enzo is NOT the F60 nor has Ferrari ever called it the F60, so no it does not make sense

    True, Clarkson refers to Enzo as F60

    ...and Clarkson is an entertainer, not a source of reliable information. ;)

    There has been no F60, and certainly no F70.

    Journalists started calling the upcoming Enzo the F60 long before the car was released, as that is what they expected the name would be. They were wrong, and those who continue to refer to the Enzo as the F60 are even more wrong.

    ...and even if the Enzo Ferrari *were* the F60, the FXX would hardly be an "F70." I think it is more of an Enzo Evoluzione or Enzo Competizione...not an entirely new generation of car. It's all a moot point, though, as the EF is not an F60.

    Not really... CS = Challenge Stradale. The FXX isn't that much 'Stradale' ;)

    well, read with calm Vern before post something like that.
    my english is the result of my teachers. if i hurt you it wasn t my objectif.

    "that all" was only for said "that all" end for explaination of FXX.
    i read sometimes different versions and sometimes so funny.

    and my last question was because there s so much thread about FXX

    there s no arogance in what i posted, if you think the different i can t do nothing for you.

    regards
    christian

    Christian, I wish we could type/see emotion here on this forum. If that could be done you would have seen me chuckle at my response to your question. I did not take offence I was simply stating, with some humor on my part, not to shoot the...... and teasing you(not negitively) about your english. Regards, Vern

    I might be compete wrong, but thinking about, i remember seeing an article in a magazine about the rumour of the Enzo and they said ferrari was calling it the FXX project (Not the F60), it was in Autocar i think a few years back. I really wish i had the magazine still. I am almost positive that was they were calling it. Maybe ferrari just uses the FXX name on its project, since the actual FXX is a mule for future development of the next supercar.
