Ferrari's 2,000,000 super Fast new toy!! :) :)

[NascarXprt]

Ferrari relased a limited edition Enzo called the FXX which is basically an F1 car except with a full body on it. heres part of the story:Ferrari Goes X-TremeOffers Ultimate Rich Man's ToyThe Bologna Motor Show in Italy brought two world launches - of cars at the extreme opposite ends of the motoring spectrum. Citroën's C-Air Play, described on TCC on Monday, is a miniature sedan designed to offer driving enjoyment without too much speed. The other newcomer alla Bolognese is the Ferrari FXX, designed to offer driving enjoyment with the ultimate in speed. The FXX could bid to be the ultimate zillionaire's toy: just 29 have been built and they will be sold - at a price of $1.8 million a piece - to what the company describes as "a selected group of its most dedicated and passionate Clients."The FXX owes much to the Enzo, Ferrari's limited-production super car, but it is even more advanced in its conception and is the culmination of Ferrari's expertise in building special limited-series sports cars combined with its racing experience. The FXX, Ferrari says, will provide the basic framework on which the specifics of future extreme models will be developed. The car delivers extreme performance: it is powered by an imposing 6262-cc V-12 engine that develops over 800 hp at 8500 rpm. The gearbox is the result of the transfer of F1 technology and delivers gear-change times of less than 100 milliseconds - almost as fast as the F1 cars, the pinnacle of current technology. The FXX has a dry weight of 2546 pounds, with a power-to-weight ratio of 3.18 pounds per horsepower, and has completed a lap of Ferrari's own Fiorano test track in under 1'18''00 - a time that gives an indication of the sheer power and performance of the car.The FXX's aerodynamic design gives a 40 percent increase in downforce compared to the already impressive Enzo. Ferrari's F1 tire partner, Bridgestone, developed a specific 19" slick tire for the FXX, and Italian brake specialists Brembo created a special brake pad and cooling system for the 398 x 36 mm Composite Ceramic Material rotors. Another unique feature of the FXX is its sophisticated telemetry system, which monitors and provides feedback in real time. The instrument panel, supplied by Magneti Marelli, is specifically designed for the FXX and incorporates a new data acquisition system. A video camera is also installed on the roof of each of the cars, pointing towards the rear, with a special TFT display on the dash removing the need for rearview mirrors.

I think the veyron is ugly, and i'd gladly take an fxx over it, but considering i barely have enough money right now to buy the lotto ticket, i don't think i have to worry about that right now

there's plenty to choose from when money is not an issue.both of those cars are extremely limited and likely few will see them.let's not forget about the Mclaren F1 too.241 MPH over a decade ago. the engine bay was lined with gold to control heat. that's exotic!
