Not adequate

I don't think it can compare to the M6 Competition version as there is no mention of special illuminated door sills!

But you don't touch an Enzo. That's my opinion. Letting EDO do its thing to your Enzo is saying damn' ... Ferrari forgot to include me in their FXX program. Why does anybody want to try and make the Enzo look like the FXX. Two different cars (concepts) to begin with.

So sad to see this.

Cheers,

M

deff not an overkill...



And i really dont think you can just "buy" an FXX, probably close to impossible... the only person i can think of that owns an FXX is schumacher, the FXX is basically a race/track version of a ferrari enzo.. its already super real hard to buy an anzo just an enzo, you cant just go into a ferrari dealer and say i want one even if u do have the money... unless your the super rich/famous(aka your status is very known).. let alone trying to buy the race version of it enzo... this is why EDO came out with a "replica" FXX

Sorry but I guess you missed the point I was trying to make above. First of all, not only MS has an FXX. I believe there is a total of 29 cars of which MS got #1 (= black car). The FXX isn't road legal. That is correct. The owner is selected and invited by Ferrari to buy one and help develop the car with Ferrari. The car is constantly upgraded as time goes on and the latest technology is integrated in the car.

Now, when you see an FXX standing next to an Enzo one will notice that adding some FXX like aero parts still won't make it look like an FXX and despite the power increase EDO offers you won't get near the performance of the actual FXX. Just leave the Enzo the way it was built and meant to be. That in itself is already impressive enough (believe me). The FXX is a track car where the Enzo is a car built for use on the road.

PS: Initially you couldn't buy the FXX but now you can: Check out this link: used Ferrari FXX for sale

Cheers,

M
