00:00Special FXX, a wild ride in Ferrari's outrageous, super Enzo.

00:06Imagine sitting in one of the most extreme Ferraris ever made, strapped in by a racing

00:10harness so tight you can barely breathe.

00:13Now imagine the person driving is Piero Lardi Ferrari, yes, Enzo Ferrari's son, and he's

00:19about to take this beast out on its first ever public lap.

00:23We're at Mugello Racetrack in Italy, and the crowd is massive, about 30,000 fans, all

00:29hype to see the debut of the Ferrari FXX.

00:32This thing isn't just a car.

00:35It's a 789-horsepower monster that makes even the Ferrari Enzo look tame.

00:41The windshield is like a fishbowl, and we're the fish, on display for the whole world to

00:45see.

00:46As we sit on the pit lane, a Ferrari crew member gives the signal.

00:51Piero taps the start button, and the FXX roars to life.

00:55It's not a start, it's an explosion.

00:57The 6.3-liter V12 engine is unfiltered and loud.

01:02People cover their ears.

01:04Others cheer.

01:06And then, we're off.

01:08Now, technically, we're supposed to be doing a few slow parade laps, just to show off the

01:13car.

01:14But Piero Ferrari is Italian.

01:17He's at Mugello.

01:18He's in the newest, craziest Ferrari ever made.

01:22And 30,000 people are watching.

01:24He stands on the gas.

01:26The car launches down the straight like it's been shot out of a cannon.

01:30The F1-style paddle shifters fire through gears almost instantly, less than 100 milliseconds

01:36between shifts.

01:38The carbon fiber cockpit becomes an echo chamber for the engine's howl.

01:42We're doing crazy speeds, and we're not even halfway through the lap.

01:46Piero leans into turn one, slams down three gears like a pro, and throws us into the bend.

01:53No joke.

01:54This does not feel like a chill cruise.

01:56But then, it happens.

01:59We lose control.

02:00The FXX spins.

02:02We're sliding off track toward the grass, facing the terrifying possibility of crashing this

02:07$2 million supercar in front of thousands of fans.

02:10Everything slows down.

02:13Will we hit the wall?

02:15Nope.

02:16We spin to a stop, hearts racing, but no damage done.

02:21Just a little off-road detour and a whole lot of adrenaline.

02:25Cold tires.

02:26I mutter.

02:27See?

02:28Piero replies.

02:30Very cold.

02:31We continue on, but slower now.

02:34Piero's still sharp behind the wheel, clean lines, good rhythm.

02:38My father didn't let me go racing.

02:41He tells me.

02:42But I'm not afraid of the power.

02:44Eventually, we pull back into the pits.

02:47Just ahead, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello are getting into their F1 Ferraris.

02:53I'm now literally following two F1 legends around a racetrack, in the passenger seat of

02:58an FXX.

03:00Unreal.

03:00We do a few more laps behind the F1 cars.

03:04Then we stop again, and I shake Piero's hand.

03:08He gives me a quiet, good, and is immediately swarmed by fans and Ferrari suits.

03:14I step back, take it all in, the smell of hot tires, the sea of red, the roar of V12S still

03:21echoing in my ears.

03:23So what exactly is the Ferrari FXX?

03:26Let's break it down.

03:28This isn't your typical hypercar.

03:30It's a track-only experiment, and Ferrari built just 29 units.

03:35Every owner didn't just buy a car, they bought a program.

03:39Ferrari invited them to test the FXX at 12 company-supported track events over two years,

03:45for each in Europe, the US, and Japan.

03:48And they weren't just driving for fun.

03:50These owners became test drivers for Ferrari, providing real-world data to help develop future

03:56Ferraris.

03:57Think of it like being part of the team that helped develop the next generation of supercars.

04:02The specs?

04:04Insane.

04:04The engine is an upgraded version of the Enzo's 6.0-liter V12, now bumped to 6.3 liters with

04:12800 horsepower, 789 SAE net.

04:16Shifting is lightning fast.

04:18The aerodynamics are active, using computer-controlled elements to adjust airflow and boost down force

04:24by 40% over the Enzo.

04:27Brakes are carbon-ceramic brembos.

04:29The tires are custom Bridgestone slicks.

04:31And they shaved off 220 pounds, bringing the weight down to just 2,700 pounds.

04:40Zero to 60?

04:41About 2.8 seconds.

04:44Around Ferrari's Fioreno test track?

04:46It's 6 seconds faster than the Enzo.

04:49The FXX isn't legal for the road.

04:52It doesn't have turn signals, airbags, or any of that civilian nonsense.

04:57It's a track missile, pure and simple.

05:01Final thoughts.

05:02The FXX is more than just a car, it's a concept, a laboratory on wheels, and a dream

05:08experience that most people will never come close to.

05:11From the spinning-out scare to the surreal moment of chasing Schumacher around a racetrack,

05:16this was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

05:20If Ferrari is just a car company, then this was just a track day.

05:24But if you asked me?

05:26Ferrari is an opera company, and the FXX is a V12 Aria sung at full volume.

05:31The X4 Aria sung at full volume.

05:32The X4 Aria.

05:32The X4 Aria sung at full volume.

05:34It's 5-4 in a car company, but not the X4 Aria us.

05:36The X4 Aria of V12 Aria.

05:37The X4 Aria can be with the X4 Aria.

05:38The X4 Aria and the X4 Aria.

05:38The X4 Aria.

05:40The X4 Aria.
