Ferrari FXXK unveiled with 1050PS

Ferrari has just taken the wraps off the race spec version of the LaFerrari hypercar, called the FXXK. The FXXK, where XX denotes Ferrari’s ultra exclusive racing program and K denotes Kinetic energy recovery makes 1050PS of peak power from its 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine and electric motor combination.

The internal combustion engine makes 860PS of peak power while the electric motor makes an additional 190PS of peak power. The engine has been substantially overhauled for track duty, with new camshafts, redesigned intake manifolds and a set of mechanical tappets replacing the traditional hydraulic ones. Ferrari has also completely done away with the silencers on the exhaust system which results in the FXXK making a heaven like note.

Externally, the FXXK comes with a whole new aero package including huge front cannards, a new front splitter and two huge rear split spoilers. A massive rear diffuser that optimises the air flow from under the car rounds up the crazy exterior design on the FXXK. Ferrari claims that the aero adds about 50 percent more downforce than the original LaFerrari giving it a staggering 540kg@130mph. Although Ferrari hasn’t unveiled any priced on numbers on these cars, we think about 20 will be built, each at a cost of about Rs 20 crore (before taxes). That said, these cars are strictly race spec automobiles and can never be legally driven on the road.
