The Sounds of Ferrari’s Hyper Supercars, FXX K, FXX and 599XX

Ferrari’s “XX Project” includes track-legal prototypes that are produced in limited numbers and maintained by the Italian supercar maker. These include the 1036 hp FXX K, the FXX and the 599XX.

Owners pay a premium for a program that allows them to drive their cars on special track days held by Ferrari.

Otherwise, the cars are kept in Ferrari’s possession at the manufacturer’s facilities plant in Italy. The premium ranges from over $2-M for the FXX to $3-M for the FXX-K.

Ferrari closely guards its “XX” range of cars is because they borrow features from its F1 cars and Ferrari does not want its rivals having looks at them.

These cars recently took the track in a session at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015.

The World Supercars YouTube channel was present at the event and recorded a video of the 3 “XX’ cars roaring down the racetrack.

The FXX appears to be the loudest with the Enzo-based hyper-Supercar sounding like an F1 car. Only 30 units of the FXX were produced by Ferrari with 1 being owned by F1 legend Michael Schumacher. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 engine that produces 800 hp and allows the car to reach a top speed of 345 km/h.

Ferrari is a unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (NYSE:FCAU).
