The FXX K Thread

'KERS'

 

Well, the looks has been revealed. The name, as well. The FXX'K' (K for KERS) is like it would almost bear next X in the name - FXXX . Why? It is more the next iteration of the whole FXX project than only upgraded,track oriented variant of LaFerrari.

So we know the looks, from the official renders. Will only the CorseClienti participants see more of the actual car?

 

Also there is another X = number 10 :-D on the render. And the 10- spoke rims. So it seems like Ferrari considers 10 as its lucky number maybe .

PS. Anyone noticed the left side of the render has blinded headlights?
What is the ... ?

 

Looking forward to hearing or seeing Vettel thrash around in one of these.

 

I liked the test car's wheels better, but an awesome car!

 

Iirc, they were same design as racing 458 gt2/gt3 wheels. If so - the Motegi racing wheels. Seen also on some Vipers SRT.

 

Totally staggering. Sorry, but in a completely different league to the GTR in sheer aesthetics alone. And we know that function follows form so on this basis.......

 

meh.
Looks like the SGC P4/5 Competizione.

 

one marque only race package. it would not look like that if in real competition with other manufacturers

 

Function follows form? It's form follows function, right?

 

Is that a joke?

 

I don't believe so but it sort of works both ways.

 

Form follows function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But I agree somewhat with your both ways argument.

 

Form follows function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naturally Wikipedia has it both ways but if you think about it if something looks good, it works well. Anyway, off topic somewhat, but whatever way you interpret it if it looks this good it is liable to work equally well.

 

If I may notice members from USA are amazed by this kind of over-design. That is good sign, since most of buyers will be (probably) from USA.

I dont want to say that American guys dont have taste, but they like cars that look like vehicles from their cartoon/movie heroes.

 

The SR71 blackbird is an over design dictate by functions,but what a beauty !
FXX K is an automotive masterpiece.
Ferrari official photos are just crappy as usual.

 

What a bizarre statement, the car has way less to do with aesthetics and way more to do with extracting the most performance on a track. It was never supposed to be pretty, I think it's supposed to look aggressive and technical.

 

Some numbers are still missing beside weight and acceleration. Also any info about price or production number?

 

I read a run of approx 30

 

Waow!!!
BOUM! et mon coeur fait BOUM!...
1050hp!!! First time for Ferrari to reach this number with a factory product.

 

It's form follows function. (It doesn't work the other way.) I've seen it attributed to both Corbusier and Sullivan. I like Wright's twist on it, "Form and function are one."

 

Thanks MM.

Well I can see here proper increase in torque of ICE V12. Other sites informed even about lower? torque.
Significally, Ferrari didnt mention F1's miserable year but underlined the connection to the GT racing development. (And third in a row WEC title)
For me, the titles are not so relevant, but the actual car and its real performance.

 

Not in Italy

 

Sitcom discussion between a yuppie and an italian restaurant owner in NYC, about how long you can wait before asking your friend's X for a date.

-- He's right, six months, with permission, sounds fair.

-- In Italy, it's five years. In Sicily, it's for life . . .
