Ever wondered what happens when you get tired of hooning your standard Ferrari and decided to take things to the next level? You know, stuff like the customer racing (Corse Clienti) program the Prancing Horse offers.
Well, the video below offers us a pretty good image of how
things roll during the events included in the scheme. Nowadays, it all has to
do with the racing incarnation of the LaFerrari, which wears the FXX K moniker.
The footage takes us to the Imola track, where Ferrari
recently held a private event. While Maranello doesn't specifically state this
when it comes to the FXX K, we know for a fact its predecessors followed a
scheme where buyers didn't actually own the car.
To be more precise, you paid Ferrari for the racer and the
Italian kept the machine, while you as a customer were invited to various
events where you got to drive the hell out of it.
Returning to the Imola event for the FXX K, this saw no less
than four examples of the extreme machine flying from one vibrator to another.
To put it bluntly, we have no less than 4,144 hp here. And the 48 cylinders
offer one of the sweetest naturally-aspirated concerts we've ever listened to.
To get an idea of how fast the FXX K is, you should know
this can lap Ferrari's Fiorano track a full five seconds quicker compared to
the street-legal LaFerrari.
How much would you have to pay to join this club? About $3
million (EUR2.5 million).
