kinda like it as is, the white stripes set it apart sort of like on some of the 360 CSs (IMO of corse)

as for the rims you might be on to something, great ps work btw

I think it looks much better with all black racing-style wheels.

What do you guys think?

Nice job man, I really dig the rims!

You're not serious are you?

You do know that when you produce a "production car" you are obligated to keep on hand a supply of spares etc - so just to be clear, even when you only produce X number, you have replacement parts.

Now - these parts might not be composite chassis tubs hanging all over the walls in a warehouse, but that still doens't prevent the facility from just simply producing more parts.

Afterall - if a current Enzo owner demands a certain component be serviced, the factory would anyway be obligated to either supply one - or make one to honour rhe warranty

In short - yes - it's ther freaking product, they can make 1,000,000 more if they want - however, this is a derivative so it's not even a valid argument..

Still only 399 (less the smashed ones)

Thanks for the compliments

...maybe some owners will put on more suitable rims once they 'take delievery'.

@ sentra_dude ...... tht looks sooo much better the white stripes kills the looks ..
btw those rims are imo perfect for GT cars ... you'll find the same rims on Diablo GT F40 F50 Macca etc etc 8) 8)

Look in the back at the middle , that yellow shit , it seems like it turns on just like an f1 car with a machine ... crazy shit !

It is only for development really, and these wealthy clients help fund it! They did not intend for it to look beutiful its just form folowing function.

zondaland · 06-17-2005, 07:25 AM

As far as Enzo engines they are using something very close in the Maserati MC12 aren't they? That would mean that with very little effort they could convert a couple to Enzo spec for a bit of a tweak.

As to building extra cars, in this volume I can't imagine that they would have a great difficulty. They would still have all the moulds and with the amount of carbon fibre they must produce daily I can't imagine that they would have much difficulty producing the necessary materials.

looks ok, but the real pleasure must be not looking at it, but having a chance to drive it, 800 hp, with factory support and training, this is such a sweet deal, yes it is a lot of money, but if you got it, then it is worth every penny, if this was a road car, it would be the fastest road car available, but it is not, it is the best track day car you can get, aside from getting a real lm winner like audi or maybe an f1 car, this is king of the hill

Let me disagree here... if they wanted a functional car instead of a "beautiful"... they would have sold this:

... which IMO looks way better than this FXX.

Not really mate, the wing structure is tottaly different on the FXX, I bet the pic you posted is just an engine suspension testing chassi,,,looks way different,,,,,,,,,,thats what I think at least

leo_26782 · 06-18-2005, 06:38 AM

Talking about differences, how long will the engine last, until you have to go for a new one?

CMonakar · 06-19-2005, 03:09 AM

What a horrible looking car. I can't believe they have the nerve to charge that much money for what is basically a warmed over Enzo. The Enzo is over priced to begin with. If Porsche can sell the CGT for hundreds of thousands at AT A PROFIT, why can't ferrari? Naturally it's being sold by invite only. I can imagine the decision making process -who are the 20 most indiscriminate customers we have ??

You know, the guys that pay $540 for a walmart fire extinguisher with a Ferrari sticker on it.

That has to be the worst post in this whole thread.
