Most expensive car ever? Not many new cars sell for more than this. As of now its at 2.7 million for the FXX. Thats not to bad for what is essentially an F1 car.:banana:

On top of that, you don't really own the car. It's more like you purchased a seat with the Ferrari testing program, and you can't legally take the car on the road (and I believe Ferrari itself will fine you for breaking that part of the contract). You do get your own Ferrari service crew that will prep the car and assist you at select (presumably European) race tracks for track days, though.
| P-TownWRX | 11-29-2006 02:51 AM |
Yeah to buy the car you have to do 2 years of R and D on the car i have heard. I am trying to find specifics on that though.

I met a person who owns an FXX and according to his purchase agreement, it's actually any race track in the world, provided you can use the track of course. But yeah, the car sits at the Ferrari HQ until you summon it.

Surely this is more about status. For a fraction of that amount, you could get a Radical SR-8, tow vehicle, trailer, spares, and a crew. I'm guessing the Radical is faster too.

Wow that is impressive arrogance by ferrari.......Lets rent rich people a track day car for 3 million. We will tell them they are part of our R&D team!!!!
| Phil Jr. | 11-29-2006 01:10 PM |
this isnt anything new by ferrari guys. Remember the F50 could never be "owned" by anyone. Ferrari only leased it to people so they could take the car back at any time. I kind of like it because you need more than just money to own an FXX. They want to see the car on the track, not just rot in some fat rich person's garage.

What I've always been told (regarding the Ferrari mentality) is that people don't purchase a Ferrari simply for the car--it's more like they feel that they're funding the racing operations of Ferrari, and in return, Ferrari gifts them with a car. The FXX program is just a much further extension of that attitude.
That said, if I had $3 mil, I'd be funding my own racing operations and not Ferrari's.

If I ever bought a ferrari there is no way I would be letting it rot in my garage, i would get out a drive the thing. My oncle has one and he takes pride in the fact that he put about 80000 miles on his last one before the engine caught fire when he was driving it. Now he tracks and drives his F430 regularly

Totally forgot about this car. Remember reading about the v8 they were building but that was like 2 years ago. You could also buy a fleet of these for the cost of an FXX and start your own racing series.

According to Autoblog, at least, it's in the contract with Ferrari that you cannot sell the FXX to anyone. So a lot of people are wondering how in the hell this car can be sold.

ZOMG, 40% more downforce than has ever been achieved in the history of the world! That's a lot of downforce!!!

this is a race car not a street car, so parking it in your garage would be useless, the Bugatti Veyron on the other hand is a street legal car that is faster that the fxx (priced at 1.36 million) o to 60 in 2.9 seconds and 0 to 100 in six flat, it does 0 to 200 faster that the mclaren f1 does 120 to 200..... intense..... it is powered by a W16 quar turbo 1001 horse motor. its amazing, see for your self

The Veyron might be the fastest street car in the world, but I have yet to see the car on an actual track, which leads me to think that aside from accelerating like a bat out of hell, it's not going to be that agile.
| menash23 | 12-02-2006 03:34 AM |
evo mag said it defies logic on corners. So I guess it has some surprises stored in it.
But ill take the FXX any time over any car in the world.

Given that the FFX is a track only car, the only measures that matter are lap times. I have no real idea of how they'd do against each other, but the SR-8 beat some pretty impressive pure race machinery around the 'Ring. The power to weight ratio must be pretty close and the SR-8 is very light and can generate more down force than its body weight.
Doesn't really matter I guess. They serve different buying communities.

the radical could definately be faster...and I bet is faster around the ring still...did you ever see the SR8 video?...
the new thing with the sr8 is the two busa motors put on one crank to make a 2.6L V8 that can rev to good god
to top that a busa motor has been known to do 300 whp boosted fairly easily...the record I want to say is like 550whp boost only...if you could keep the same power (would be quite possible) operating them as two seperate 4 cylinders...that you could make 600 whp in a radical
can you say, I need more tire :D

I wish i could find it now, but I saw a video of an FXX going around a track passing GT3 porsches and even a Carrera GT as if they were at a standstill and that was with a driver that was sliding all over the track. Just because a radical SR8 has 600WHP and weighs nothing doesnt mean it is faster.
You also must remember that the FXX is a NATURALLY ASPIRATED car, which is amazing and has a 3.4lb/1HP ratio which gives it 0-60 of 2.8(faster than a veyron)
Maybe somebody can find some lap time comparisons?

Elises are slow (acceleration). Sure they do OK up to 60mph, maybe 90mph, but they still only have 200hp and that just doesn't cut it at higher speeds. At a Lotus trackday at PIR, my Stage 2 STI on stock tires and STI pinks was clearly faster on corner exit. There were only a couple that were being well-driven, and while it took a while to pass them, and they were faster on corner entry and mid corner, there was absolutely no comparison once I got pointed at the Apex and onto the throttle. Portland is mostly 3rd gear corners.

I'll see your VW, sorry, Bugatti, and raise you a Bristol Fighter T
All aluminium 8 litre V10 (Chrysler sourced). 9.3:1 compression ratio. Two ball bearing water cooled turbochargers with intercooling, uprated engine internals. High flow cylinder heads with high lift camshaft. High capacity cooling system and catalysts. Free flow exhaust with side of car exits. Output 127 bhp per litre. 1012 bhp at 5600 rpm. 1036 lb.ft of torque at 4500 rpm.
The Fighter T delivers more than 900 lb.ft at the same rpm, and continues to do so all the way up to the rev limit of 6000 rpm.
Front engine, rear drive.
Weight is something around 3500lbs (48% front, 52% rear)
Drag factor reduced to 0.27 by a new rear wake diffuser.
A potential maximum speed of more than 270 mph has been electronically limited to a more than sufficient 225 mph at 4500 rpm.
Orders being taken now for September 07 delivery. UK price just under �400,000.
As to the FXX, isn't there a guy in New York who had Pininfarina custom build a Ferrari for him earlier this year to the tune of $4M? I wonder how much quicker an FXX is at the track than a track ready Ariel Atom.

As to the FXX, isn't there a guy in New York who had Pininfarina custom build a Ferrari for him earlier this year to the tune of $4M? I wonder how much quicker an FXX is at the track than a track ready Ariel Atom.[/QUOTE]
That thing looks like a modern day Alfa Romeo TZ1

That's a model - and it's why I haven't used that picture to draw the same comparison. The TZ is such a beautiful car though and the Bristol is just a little too tall to carry through the same effect.
Incidentally, here's a neat piece of TZ history - when new the TZ cost more than a Ferrari GTO! TZs are very expensive today, but GTOs go for 15-30 times their price.

My uncle has 2 TZ's in his garage right now. No GTO's though just a Daytona and 400i from the Ferrari world along with a few well known Alfas. I'll see if I can dredge up a picture of the cars from my archives.
not one of his but also not a model

[QUOTE=turbo'98L;16182878]the bugatti has all wheel drive and a **** load of other stuff( it handles great) and did i mention it has 10 radiators[/QUOTE]
Having ten radiators doesn't neccessarily make the car faster... it just keeps your car from overheating. One (or two) radiators are used for the wing hydralics. So ridiculous.
