The FXX K Thread

Oh my God, the 333 SP!

 

Mine is the last 333 to have raced at Daytona (2002)

 

The other point is: how many folks - including the likes of F1 superstars, will be able to say that they have driven a modern F1 car at full chat at Daytona? Answer: next to none!!

 

Really? I didn't know that.

Is this your car Peter?

No. My car is chassis number 40 which is the last "official" one built. 41 was built for a friend of Piero Ferrari and was never raced and is now in a private collection.

Chassis 40 was a Risi entered car that was driven by Johanson, Brabham and Van der Poele. It DNF'd with a rear suspension failure after a collision, if my memory serves me correctly. It's race number was 13.

 

Here is a photo of the car in Jan 2002

After reading about & then watching the crash between the corse clienti F1 cars today, I sort of understand this...

 

Have a link to that?

I wasn't looking up until the smack on the wall and saw the aftermath.
Wasn't quite sure what led up to it.

 

Two Classic Ferrari Formula One Cars Collide In Best Sounding Crash Ever

Stupid headline....

 

Can someone Photoshop a FKKX to join the two small wings in order to create a F50 style wing ?

 

Anyone know anything about this from instagram:
Ferrari has begun contacting select customers about an upcoming lightweight version of LaFerrari! What are your thoughts on the addition of a LaFerrari Scuderia / TDF / Speciale from the Pride of Maranello? I wonder what it will actually weigh? Whatever your thoughts are, I am being told by multiple sources that it is coming! LaFerrari coupe, FXXK, LaFerrari Aperta, and now a lightweight edition.

 

Somewhat expected as the relentless drive for profit continues to appease a demanding Wall st. Makes sense so very credible and I too heard rumours.

 

Then that will make the versus debate even more interesting--no, i'm not looking to add more fuel to the fire; I'm talking about something else entirely. What i mean is, what could they do to it to make it like the "speciale" version of it without making it an fxxk, and what or whether or not porsche and mac would do if they responded to it.

 

The real anniversary surprise?

 

I see someone follows Kris


I don't see the point, other than to grab some more money.
You released a car saying there won't be any more.
Then you built some more in racecar trim (which were expected and are awesome by the way)
Then you built some more in roadster form (half expected)
Now this. I don't see them being able to do too much before taking away from the FXXK, so maybe some different color options, a small power increase, and a higher price tag knowing people will pay it.


I don't know, make sense financially for them, but if I were one of the original LaF owners, I'd be a little annoyed as my "1/499" is now 1/748 +/- let alone how many Scud/Spec/TDF versions get made. I'm not one to let go of cars, so the value change wouldn't bother me as much as the thought of whether they're doing this to see what they can do with the car vs how many can they squeeze out of fans of the brand.

 

Surprisingly, i actually don't. He's just the quickest way to get to everyone else since he tags them in one of the aston martin photos.

 

I really don't think any of us should be surprised that limited edition cars will become less limited and more expensive. The question is when will the market says no more.

 

I seriously doubt it! What Kris might refer too is the FXX-K Evo which is definitely not a road car!

 

That could also be what it is. But i though they weren't going to do one until the regular fxxk is a little old?

 

Link to the Instagram post?
