2 of 3 Ferrari FXX Evoluziones delivered to Hong Kong
Click above to view the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione in hi-res
We're not quite sure to make of this, but apparently of the 29 hand-selected participants from the Ferrari FXX development program, only three opted (or were deemed worthy) to continue with the even more exclusive FXX Evoluzione.
The progression of the previous initiative revolves around an even more extreme derivative of the Enzo. The FXX Evoluzione, as we reported back in October of last year, features a heavily revised variable aerodynamics package and advanced electronics, channeling 860 horsepower from the developmental supercar's 6.3-liter V12 with its atmospheric 9500 rpm redline. Of the three FXX Evoluziones made, two are heading to Hong Kong, with the remaining third example being presented to an unspecified European client.
UPDATE: We've been informed that while only three brand new examples of the FXX Evoluzione were built, most (if not all) of the original 29 FXXs have been retrofitted to Evoluzione spec. Thanks to tipster SPHFerrari for the correction.

Wow. Man I wonder what exactly the requirements are, as far as connections and history, with Ferrari to be able to participate in the FXX program, let alone the Evoluzione.

You have to be some ridiculously rich bloke with a receding hairline married to a fat lipped wife who cheats on you. You will probably drive it only once and ironically that will the very same day that you took it from the transport truck, up your driveway and into your 15-car garage.
You wake up in the morning and get driven to work in your Mercedes CDI.

And obviously I assume you'd have to be a pretty darn good track driver as well, with a good bit of engineering skill/knowledge, at least enough to be able to give useful feedback to the team.
Seems more of a big responsibility to me, combined with the privilege.

so sad. i never really saw this car publish in any magazine. I wonder what it would do at the top gear track, or how fast it could go at nurimbring whatever spells , etc etc.

You win the contest for the Best misspelling of Nurburgring. Honestly, that made me laugh out loud.

I would like to see this on track with a ZR-1, Saleen S7, and GT-R V-Spec.

It'd be good to see it's Nurburgring time...like 10 seconds ahead of the GTR.
NOreasonY 6:30PM (8/12/2008)
I agree ..i would love to see how this fairs against the other times posted up by the GTR and ZR1 just for sihts and giggles....but this car make melt inside (no homo)....if i was a loaded oil demigod....this would be in my garage hands down...

Ah yes; just give me a super car and the wide open spaces of one of the most densely populated cities on the planet to enjoy it in. Kind of like having a Veyron in Manhattan.

My thoughts exactly. At least from Manhattan you can drive to the countryside.

Theres soooo many supercars in hong kong, and they all drive them like a pissed off teenager, i'm actually happy about it

Saying that the cars were "delived to Hong Kong" is inaccurate. These cars will never see the streets of Hong Kong. In fact, the cars will never even set a tire on the island. The FXX is a track car, not a street car. When you "buy" an FXX, you merely receive the priviledge of driving the car on specific track days that Ferrari sets up. Two of the three first participants in the FXX Evoluzione program were Hong Kong residents, that is all.

The owners can always take their cars to Zhuhai International Circuit, which is not far from Hong Kong.

that's 136 hp/liter, but that doesn't matter right? because it prob has 4 cams so thats only 215 hp per cam
860 freakin hp from 6.3litres na.
is that on pump gas, or powered by baby seal?

I was wondering about that too, and checked to see how much hp/L it was making before I even read this. It sounds phenomenally high. Perhaps it's not considered a production car yet or it's on, as mentioned, some really high octane fuel.
madgamer 7:41PM (8/12/2008)
You could have a compression ratio that is through the roof or something if it is made to only run on 116 octane gas for instance. Seeing as it doesn't have tail lights, I think that's entirely possible.
