The FXX K Thread

September's EVO Magazine has a great article about Corse Clienti and XX programme, including a fantastic interview from Enrico Galliera, the senior vice president, commercial and marketing director and the person who is responsible about who gets a FXX K, what it will need to be part of this family and a big talk around XX cars.

Excellent article but i can't scan it because i'm abroad. So, if anyone has already the magazine and is able to upload a scan of it, it would be very appreciated....or i will have to type all the interview!

LOL

 

You can see more chassis numbers on FXX K

 

Enjoy the sound and video!

Hi guys
Back from holidays, time to present the thrid part of my report about the FXXK at the Castellet. Sunday morning, I stayed in the pitlane andhave no regret.
I could see all the XX in line and I made some of my best pictures of the weekend, IMHO.

Here they are, cheers

PS: no need to say they are much better in HD

Stunning. Thank you!

 

I'll be honest I've never really got the point of these FXX cars but these pics are epic, especially #27, stunning, absolutely glorious. Damn it, I need to be checking cars off the list not adding them.

 

For Ferrari :
Test beds to test new things for future production cars.
Opportunity to shift some of the development cost to customers.
Amazing brand exposure.

For owners :
Exclusivity
Part for a racing program that seats between F1 Clienti and Ferrari challenge
The best way to get an allocation for any limited edition cars
Early preview of regular production cars and chances to get very early delivery


Whoever decided the launch the XX did a very smart move.

 

+1

 

I love #21... Rosso Fuoco?

But is that fire inside it or just a weird reflection?

 

Thank you

 

And, most important of all, an absolute blast to drive AND you can share as there is a passenger seat.....

 

i would love to be your passenger.

 

All the true but there is no racing in F1 Clienti and XX series

 

Is the "symbol" on the top of that Red FxxK their family's ? I seem to remember it

 

That's the Coat of Arms of Russia.

 

No words needed.

 

These programmes are referred to as "non-competitive racing". Firstly, even those of us who qualify as racing drivers would not want to race a modern day F1 car against others in a wheel to wheel battle. Too complicated and let's not even talk about what it would cost.
In the XX programmes the argument is basically the same.

However, there is a real competitive spirit when the lap times are analysed after each session. So while it may not be wheel to wheel on the track (although this does happen in XX...) there is a competition in terms of lap times. This becomes particularly interesting when those times are analysed as a function of the wear on the tyres used by each participant.

So these programmes are more than just track days. And then there is the privilege of having driven a modern, World Championship winning (in many cases) Formula 1 Ferrari as hard as you can on some of the world's most fabulous race tracks and believe me, that is a unique privilege.

Finally, given the current state of F1, how unappealing the cars are etc, it is wonderful to be able to see and hear the glorious V10s and V8s as well as the occasional V12 at full chat...

 

Welcome to the club, Ben!! Enjoy Spa next week and see you in Nola!!

 

do you come with yours at Rêves d'Enfants Malades ?

 

Very nice FXX K, congrats Ben.

The perfect duo.

 

That's the pic I posted to Instagram. 'His and Hers'

 

i like your choice of filling that entire nose indentation with the roof color, it goes well with the racy livery of fxxk. is it the same blue you picked for your laferrari? loved that subtle blue you got.
