Heard of Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster or Lotus Exige 240R???
You must have a really bad day!!!
Why would you say I was having a "really bad day"?
The cars you chose to campare to the FXX are nice awsome sports cars.....but they are not the same class.
Lambo Murc Roadster
Price 319,250.00 (a nice chunk of change no doubt)
HP 572 (that is alot, but don't forget the new M5 has 507HP and costs 1/4 of what the lambo does)
Lotus Exige 240R
Price 77,078.00 based on todays exchange rates
Hp 240
Ferrari FXX
Price 1,800,000.00
Hp 800
The new FXX is the baddest car on the planet right now....difference being that if I had the cash I could buy a Lambo or a Lotus but I could not buy an FXX because Ferrari would not sell me one of the 20 cars it made.
Read on:
"The FXX has not been homologated for road use and thus will not be a competition model. It will be used exclusively on the track as part of a specific ongoing research and development programme featuring this first ever group of Client Test Drivers."
"Given the car’s exceptional performance and the unique nature of the package, delivery of each FXX will also include an ad hoc driving course. The instructors will, of course, be professional drivers and the courses will take place at the Fiorano Circuit where Ferrari does its most important F1 single-seaters testing."
"Wait... "sophisticated telemetry system"? Oh yeah... "officially", these FXX Ferraris are test cars designed to help with Ferrari's R&D department. These cars will be closely monitored, and the acquired data will be sent to Maranello to be analyzed and scrutinized by Ferrari's highly-trained engineers."
See I was not having a "Really Bad Day" I was just stating facts.
