Ferrari FXX Evolution
FerrariThe innovative FXX program, based on the eponymous prototype car and launched by Ferrari in June 2005, is being extended to 2008/2009. The FXX, which is the most advanced GT ever created at Maranello, has been updated with an evolution package aimed at further improving its handling and performance. The package was developed as a result of Ferrari’s collaboration with its Client Test Drivers and with the invaluable support of Michael Schumacher. The FXXs equipped with this package will also sport a new livery in addition to new rear wing profiles.The FXX is not homologated for road use and there are no plans to compete with it either. In fact, the FXX prototype is designed exclusively for track driving as part of a specific R&D program agreed with a selected group of just over 20 clients involving 14 group test sessions and 14 private ones in the last two years. Thanks to readings taken over the 10,200 miles of tests carried out in 2006 and the 11,500 miles covered in 2007, the modifications made to the car have focused on honing its aerodynamics, running gear and electronics. Seven-times Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher also joined the ranks of the client test drivers and gave the program the benefit of his vast experience on several occasions.

Ferrari Novitec F430
Don’t read this right away. Stare at the photos for a while first, and absorb the beauty. Whatever I write cannot possibly stack up to such pure visual lust anyway, so hold off reading my drivel.
Novitec Rosso of Stetten in Bavaria, Germany, jumps to a rarefied tune these days. It entered the tender trap of Ferrari upgrades, when the company started discussing the possibilities back in 2000. Then, Novitec went for it and bought outright three 360 Modenas in 2001. The company’s supercharged 360 launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show, and things just took off from there.
