Earlier this week, Antonella Coletta, head of Ferrari's
Sporting Activity Department, announced that the Italian company is working on
a track focused version of the LaFerrari, called the LaFerrari XX. Now,
spy shots have emerged from the Nurburgring reportedly
showing an early LaFerrari XX prototype in action.
According to WorldCarFans, the spectacular LaFerrari XX was able to
circle the Nurburgring in an impressive unofficial time off 6 minutes and 35
seconds. To put this in perspective, the current production car lap record is
6:48s held by Radical SR8LM. What's more, Ferrari's time also obliterates the
6:57s lap time set by the Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. However, unlike
the Porsche, the extreme LaFerrari XX supercar is not street legal and will be
limited to circuit use only.
The LaFerrari XX test mule spotted conducted testing at
the Ring in unpainted carbon fiber. Windows were replaced with lexan
units. Although not visible on this car, the production LaFerrari XX will most
definitely come with a few aerodynamic bits and pieces which should
make it even faster around the corners. It is not clear whether the LaFerrari
XX will produce even more than 950 horsepower from its 6.3 liter V12 hybrid
power unit.
"It's very difficult to make a car faster than
LaFerrari, but this is where the challenge!" Coletta had commented. The production-ready LaFerrari XX
could be revealed as early as next year. Be sure to watch the video below to
see the LaFerrari XX prototype in action:
