Ugly overpriced piece of garbage. Why? Track use only. Buy a Veyron instead.

agreed

Hey, if you paid for it, I think you should be able to do whatever the hell you want with it. Ferrari needs to lighten up.

I like that they do this, and I’m sure the buyers do as well. It ensures exclusivity, and also that the car will be in good hands. You know, not Stefan Erikson’s hands.

and i have seen the first ever made! i have seen a ferrari FXX!

A Veyron is hardly a track car.

It’s hardly something to cough at either.

I love Ferrari,

“A Veyron is hardly a track car.” No, but at least you can drive it on the street. The FXX is hardly the best track car, just the most overpriced. The million or so spent on the FXX would be better spent on a retired track car that is quicker, handles better and costs less. That is if speed and handling are your criteria.

Ferrari is such a stuck-up company. They really know how to treat their customers like crap. Funny, though, how people love them for it. The FXX SUX. Its an ugly piece… so many better choices out there.

The owners can do anything they want with the car… the only thing Ferrari can do is move your name so far down the list for the next ’supercar’, you’ll wish you kept the F40. You’ll have to buy a ‘used’ supercar.. can you imagine the embarrasment?

It’s not suprising and I can see their point. Just ’cause you got the dough, doesn’t mean you can play by your own rules.

When they first released info on the FXX they said all cars will be stored at Ferrari’s HQ. However I believe owners can keep them where they’d like to, almost as a show peice. As ugly as you all say it is, showing up at a track with 1 of 29 ever made will get respect. If you don’t want to follow their rules, choose another manufacturer. But if they are such a stuck up company, why do they have a year waiting list on most of their cars. The 599 is already sold out the first year. Obviously the FXX’s are all spoken for, and the Enzo had such a demand they built more. I think they know what the hell they are doing and other manufacturers should follow suit.

Cette voiture est génial même si il n’y plu d’exemplere.Je n’auris pa pu l’acheter car elle coûte 1 000 000 € et s’est très très très très très très cher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This isn’t new news. . .we knew about this contract several months ago.

ugly,ugly car, and you cant use it in the streets,and they keep YOUR car in theit hqs , if u dont live near them, u have to pay a hole lot of money, and that isnt nice

HEY #13!!! What did you say about my ex-wife?

I’m thinkin that the FXX will destroy a Veyron on a track… Both are somewhat ugly in my opinion… Lets throw another competitor out there – get an SSC Ultimate Aero!

the FXX is as close to a Ferrari F1 as you can get. im not surprised Ferrari wants to keep track of where the car goes, especially if it were sold to some employee of another auto maker…

gsh- naw, they probably just didn’t want to put a few of them through crash tests to get it road certified in the States.

“the FXX is as close to a Ferrari F1 as you can get. im not surprised Ferrari wants to keep track of where the car goes, especially if it were sold to some employee of another auto maker…”
I seriuosly doubt ANY car manufacture would buy this car to evaluate. A million dollar limited production car. What technology is so great that it could make it in a $25K, $50K, $100k, or even $150K car? Nothing.

“I think they know what the hell they are doing and other manufacturers should follow suit.” I don’t think so, everyone should sell brand new cars that cost over $150k. Oh and you can only sell 5k cars a year.5k cars worldwide, thats why there’s a waiting list for the more money than brains crowd. Well the parent group of Ferrari isn’t doing so well now is it?

This is one of the reasons why I hate Ferrari…and don’t let me mention their overpriced, POS “car” that every idiot thinks is the best because “it’s a Ferrari”… :rolleyes:

Hey, all you guys who are talking about how stupid Ferrari is, and how overpriced, and (I can’t even believe anyone would say it) how they are “POS” or “pieces of garbage”, let me ask you something: Have you driven one? Can you actually speak from any sort of experience? What on earth makes you think you are qualified to say any of these things? You have no idea what you are talking about, but you just keep on talking, like you know something, which you clearly don’t. I don’t think there is a car manufacturer in the world, supercar makers included, that would even think about talking trash about Ferrari. I mean you just have to be the stupidest bunch around. I can’t believe any of you consider yourselves knowledgeable enough on the subject to even begin to make any type of comment whatsoever. Ugly? I don’t find F1 cars particularly attractive (albeit very cool looking), but they aren’t made to be. They’re made to perform, much like this car is. And it does. And thats all there is to it. If it wasn’t worth it, all of them wouldn’t be sold already. And the people that buy them know a LOT more than you about Ferraris, considering they are required to have owned several before buying one.

The reason the FXX costs $1M is because you also pay to participate in Ferrari driving events all over the world and become a “certified Ferrari test driver.” Of course it’s just a meaningless title printed on a certificate, but if people are willing to pay, good for Ferrari. Ferrari pretty much owns all the FXX’s. They fly them to different race tracks and the so-called owners just show up and drive them. The FXX isn’t really a car, but rather a whole ownership experience. Therefore it makes sense for Ferrari to keep tabs on who gets them. Besides, if someone has the guts to buy a used FXX, they’ll probably get added to Ferrari’s next “list” for their next supercar.

By the way, the Enzo is not a POS. Therefore a 800bhp ultralight thoroughbred version of an Enzo is not one either. It may not be worth $1M to you, but it is to plenty of people. And until you list all the Ferrari’s that you’ve personally driven, the haters can all eat a

Also, the FXX not being street legal has little to do with EU (or US) crash testing. The FXX has no catalytic converters or directional indicators to save weight.

Yeah, I’ve driven a Ferrari. I can speak about them… blah blah blah

BAMF- Yeah, I’ve driven a Ferrari. I can speak about them… blah blah blah

BAMF- by the way, in response to owners knowing more than we do: Britney Spears owns a Ferrari. I bet know a hell of a lot more about them than she does, and probably more than you.

I’m not talking about britney spears I’m talking about FXX owners. You haven’t driven that, I’m quite sure.

Wow, sell 29 cars real hard to do. People will buy ANYTHING to get attention. Jay Leno doesn’t own a single Ferrari. Some people have to have the latest Rolex watch, not because they are good looking, just because they have to have it for their collection.
“BAMF”, posted on May30 at 10:01 pm but you can comment with authority on a car you have never driven? You are accussing us of not driving these cars and then you comment on a car you have never driven (FXX)Your the stupid one.
“I don’t think there is a car manufacturer in the world, supercar makers included, that would even think about talking trash about Ferrari.” No they wouldn’t waste their time on a company that sells a mere 5k annually. Or if you were McLaren simply state your car (F1) is the best and prove it.

BAMF wasn’t talking about just the FXX, but rather people bashing Ferrari as a whole. Image aside, they’re the best cars in the world.

” the best cars in the world. ”

“Best” means what? Performance, there are quicker cars, handling-there are better cars. What is your criteria for “best”?

“You have no idea what you are talking about, but you just keep on talking, like you know something, which you clearly don’t. Comment by BAMF, posted on May30″
Right (sarcasm) Tim Allen, a certified car nut called Ferrari on The Tonight Show “a glorified FIAT.!” So he doesn’t what he’s talking about either? Even Reggie Jackson another certified car nut has had nothing positive to say about 80’s and newer Ferrari’s. If we were talking 50’s, 60’s, or early 70’s Ferrari’s I would say I like them. But this car (FXX), the 599, (and others) are indeed ugly and overpriced compared to the competition. Only one exception the 430. The FXX/Enzo is UUUUUGGGGLLLYY.

“Also, the FXX not being street legal has little to do with EU (or US) crash testing. The FXX has no catalytic converters or directional indicators to save weight.” So then why not build 29 copies of Schumachers 2003, 2004, or 2005 F1 car. I mean if their not worried about street or emissions legality? If the FXX is a race car, just build the race car it is supposedly based on.

I can’t read? No, you can’t read. You didn’t call it a piece of ****, and I never claimed you did. Read the first sentence of my initial post and then read the posts preceding it. I wasn’t talking to you in my first post.

Overpriced? Maybe a bit, but if they can sell it at those prices, why wouldn’t they?

What do you looks so bad about it? I love how they look. I think most people would agree with me. What exactly do you think looks so bad about it?

“But it’s not a ROAD CAR. ROAD CAR MEANS STREET LEGAL!” Again, you can’t read. I was clearly talking about the Veyron. Re-read that paragraph.

And that last “bit of history”… what does that have to do with cars?

I forgot to call out another comment of yours that I found a bit stupid. “No they wouldn’t waste their time on a company that sells a mere 5k annually.” Oh, so the quality of a car is determined by how many cars a company sells? I guess you think GM/Toyota are the best that money can buy…

” I love how they look. I think most people would agree with me. ”
Ugly overpriced piece of garbage.
agreed

The FXX SUX. Its an ugly piece… so many better choices out there.

ugly,ugly car, and you cant use it in the streets,and they keep YOUR car in theit hqs , if u dont live near them, u have to pay a hole lot of money, and that isnt nice

Both are somewhat ugly in my opinion…

This is one of the reasons why I hate Ferrari…and don’t let me mention their overpriced, POS “car� that every idiot thinks is the best because “it’s a Ferrari�… :rolleyes:

This is funny BAMF I wasn’t talking to you in my first post. Lets see what did I call it again? And your responseHey, all you guys who are talking about how stupid Ferrari is, and how overpriced, and (I can’t even believe anyone would say it) how they are “POSâ€? or “pieces of garbageâ€?, let me ask you something: Have you driven one? Can you actually speak from any sort of experience? What on earth makes you think you are qualified to say any of these things? You have no idea what you are talking about, but you just keep on talking, like you know something, which you clearly don’t. I don’t think there is a car manufacturer in the world, supercar makers included, that would even think about talking trash about Ferrari. I mean you just have to be the stupidest bunch around.” Stupid? Get over yourself in the marytr role.

This is the stupidest comment I read thus far “Oh, so the quality of a car is determined by how many cars a company sells? I guess you think GM/Toyota are the best that money can buy… A quality car is something you can drive day in and day out. How many Ferrari’s do you see with 50k miles or more on them? Lets see the that major engine rebuild at 30K. The $600.00 oil change. Yeah real hard to make a car run at its best when it requires special oil. How are the gaps between the panels, all the same-no, look at one.

“What exactly do you think looks so bad about it?”
Everything. The knock off Pagani style headlights, the goofy bodywork. The Maserati MC12 is the best version of the ENZO.

I don’t understand why BAMF is sticking up for Ferrari so much. I hang out at the local Ferrari dealer from time to time and car chat with the guys. It is funny that Ferrari tries to remain so exclusive that it treats most people like crap. Ferraris, even the old and famous racers of the 50s and 60s, aren’t great machines, but gorgeous yes. The new ones are super high-tech, but they still aren’t great cars. I think the Chevy big-block is still the best engine ever (Ford guys may disagree). Anybody that knows anything about cars will concede. Most racecars are built on that engine… I don’t see dragsters, top-fuel funny cars or other vehicles basing their motors off of a Ferrari platform. Ferrari’s only real winning racing engines have hardly ever been put into production cars eg: F1 v10’s, ‘61-’64 GTO 3.0 liter 250 engine, 1955 -57 Testa Rosa; and the Dino V6 in the rare Lancia Stratos rally car. The GTOs were slaughtered by the Ford GTs because they were high-reving 3.0 liter v12s that were over taxed in endurance races while the American GTs were larger 8 liter 8 cylinder engines that didn’t have to work hard. For the most part, Ferrari (like Jag and Aston Martin) were just rare, beautiful pieces of art. Nothing more, nothing less. I’d like to see a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB-C or P4 take on a Shelby anyday. People have a tendancy (rightfully so) to glorify Ferrari. It is totally a pride thing. Ferrari has to work its butt off to keep up with its racing competition. They put so much into their factory racing team because they know that its the heritage that adds to the cars persona. Pride, too, is the reason why FIAT owns Ferrari instead of FORD. Ferrari sold to the lower bidder because old Enzo and the Italians couldn’t bear to see the Americans buy them out (the racing competitor). Hard facts point out that Ferrari isn’t the best (the designs have really sucked lately by the way) and that more bland automakers are putting out better products (the Germans) but where’s the romance in that? right?

correction: Ferrari was slaughtered by Ford at Le Mans, but I don’t think it was the GTOs that were in that race.

The “Ferrari magic” is not about image or pride. It comes from passion, beauty, and decades of breeding. The whole package working (sometimes) in perfect harmony.

I too hate Ferrari fanboys who’ve spent thousands on Ferrari hats, shirts, umbrellas, laptops, etc. (everything except the car itself) and get into slapping fights over F1. I also hate badge-snobs who put Ferrari on a pedestal. I dislike many Ferrari owners I’ve met. Most are insecure jerks don’t know how to properly drive their own cars.

That said, the FXX impractical, over-the-top, over-priced, and exclusive. It’s everything Ferrari.

Jim- Passion? where’s the passion? insecure rich boys who want to show off, umm, yeah sounds like pride.

Whatever. Feel free to say that a car has to run forever to be great. Have fun with your appliances. I’ll be having fun in my cars that are built to have fun in. If it breaks down, I’ll fix it, or buy another one, and continue having fun. Because thats what I look for in a car. Fun. I’ll leave you with a quote that I think was writen just for you guys:

“Sure, there are those who say Montezemolo’s vision will never produce cars with the emotion of Enzo’s best—that the NSX ruined everything that was good about exotic high-performance cars. These people probably cannot afford Ferraris anyway.”
-J.P. Vettraino

The NSX isn’t an exotic

i think this Ferrari is Gr8. Gr8, but not the prettiest Ferrari, obviously. Its crap that FXX’s arent allowed on the road, If you can afford a car like that, you’d want to show it off, wouldnt u?

Marc, the “passion” I mentioned was referring to the way Ferrari’s a built, the way they drive, the sound they make, and the way they work (usually) — not the potential rich-boy buyers…

All you people how keep saying that the fxx sucks and its so ugly need to shutup until you’ve seen and heard the car in person. The fxx is probably one of the most beautiful cars i have ever seen up close and the sound is god like. So don’t rip on a cars look and performance unless you know what your talking about.
