Mugello, 29 October 2017 – The Finali Mondiali provided the backdrop to the world premiere of the new FXX-K Evo which will be available both as an extremely limited-run model and as an upgrade package for the existing XX cars. On the contrary, it's lighter than the non-Evo model (1,165 kg / 2,568 lbs dry), but it's not known at this point by how much.įerrari FXX-K Evo: an innovative new package for the laboratory car Despite the changes on the outside, the race car has not gained any weight. The engineers also made some tweaks to the suspension as it had to be tailored to the more aerodynamically efficient body. For example, the underbody as well as both front and rear bumpers had to be resculpted to make the body sleeker than before. To achieve these numbers, more changes were necessary. At 124 mph (200 kph), the FXX K Evo generates 640 kilograms of downforce and more than 830 kg at maximum speed. Downforce has increased by 23 percent compared to the regular FXX K and that means it’s up by 75% compared to the road-going LaFerrari upon which the race car is based. Join owners and enthusiasts discussing this topic at ! All of the changes made on the outside to boost aero are the result of more than a year of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in a bid to help the FXX K Evo generate downforce figures close to race cars that take part in GT3 and GTE championships.
Following in the footsteps of the FXX Evo and the 599 XX Evo, the new track-only machine from Maranello will be compatible with the existing 40 cars of the “standard” FXX K. Ferrari claims the XX cars are used for development purposes, but in reality it’s likely more about a bunch of rich people having fun with some very fast cars.After an announcement made earlier this week, Ferrari has taken the wraps off the FXX K Evo this weekend during the Finali Mondiali event at Mugello Circuit in Italy. Instead, Ferrari will ship the cars to tracks of the owners’ choosing under its Corse Clienti program.
#LAFERRARI FXX K 3D MODEL SERIES#
The FXX K Evo can’t be driven on the road, but it’s not homologated for any particular race series either. This setup was already good for 1,035 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque, so more power wasn’t really needed. A 6.3-liter V12 and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission get electric assist, with electricity harvested under braking. Like the standard FXX K, the Evo uses a tuned version of the LaFerrari’s hybrid powertrain. Besides the aero upgrades, Ferrari tweaked the suspension, added a new steering wheel, and installed a larger screen for the rearview camera. The wing is supported by a fin that runs along the spine of car, giving the Evo an even more menacing look. The FXX K Evo also boasts a massive rear wing in place of the more unorthodox vertical pylons used in the standard FXX K. The improved performance is thanks in part to a reshaping of the front and rear bumpers. The Evo generates 23 percent more downforce than the standard FXX K, and 75 percent more than the LaFerrari on which it’s based. As always with high-performance cars, the goal was grip-enhancing downforce. The original FXX K’s aerodynamic aids were among the most advanced ever put on a car, but over a year of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and wind tunnel testing allowed Ferrari to make some improvements. The FXX K Evo is the latest in Ferrari’s line of XX track cars, which began with the Enzo-based FXX in 2005. Ferrari will build a limited run, and allow existing FXX K owners to upgrade their cars to Evo spec. The Ferrari FXX K Evo is, as the name suggests, an evolved version of the FXX K, with even greater performance capabilities. You’d think that would be good enough for the boys and girls in Maranello, but no. Then Ferrari turned the LaFerrari into the hardcore FXX K, a track car that wasn’t even street legal.
Along with the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder, the Ferrari LaFerrari was part of the “holy trinity” that marked the first wave of hybrid supercars. Fitbit Versa 3įerrari doesn’t know when to stop.
