The Ferrari FXX-K Evo has been announced

If you thought the LaFerrari was bonkers, Ferrari’s FXX-K was there to let you know that things only get more hardcore from there.

Now, there’s a car that makes the FXX-K look tame. It’s the Ferrari FXX-K Evo.

Though the engine and its outputs are essentially the same as that of the ‘regular’ FXX-K (773kW from a 6.3-litre NA V12 and an electric motor), the Evo cops a plethora of changes which improve handling, weight, and more importantly, downforce.

Essentially, Ferrari is closing the gap between its road cars and its race cars.

As a result, an aero package has been gifted to the Evo which creates almost as much downforce as Ferrari’s GT3 and GTE cars. At top speed, the FXX-K Evo produces 830kg of downforce, 23 per cent more than the standard FXX-K.

The aero pack is so meticulous that Ferrari even hollowed out the space beneath the headlights to make space for “a couple of flicks divided by a vertical turning vane and an additional intake ahead of the front wheels.”

Ferrari says this small change nets a 10 per cent increase in downforce production compared to the FXX-K’s front bumper.

In terms of availability, details are scarce, but Ferrari says the Evo will be available “as an extremely limited-run model and as an upgrade package for the existing XX cars.”
