Besides being blessed with the reputation of being a seven time World Formula One champion, with a slew of records that include being the first and ONLY F1 driver to have achieved the feat of finishing an entire season with podium finishes (in his 2002 F1 season), Michael Schumacher has also been awarded the opportunity to test drive the latest Ferrari FXX cars.
Why won’t I be envious? The Ferrari FXX is not designed for road use, much less be driven by mere mortals such as us. Based on tireless researches and data gathered from nearly 22000 miles of tests conducted for two years between 2006 and 2007, Ferrari is bent on creating the ultimate speed beast with main focus on the aerodynamics.
The breath taking Ferrari FXX boasts of an out of the world 6262 cc V12 engine that’s capable of producing a mind numbing 860 bhp at 9500 rpm. Gearshifting takes a mere 60ms, while the gear ratios are now created to accommodate the extra 1000 rpm churned out by its engine. The FXX has been ceremoniously fitted with unique 19” Bridgestone tires, large Brembo brakes with huge Composite Ceramic Material (CCM) disc as well as cutting edge rear diffusers. Watch this car in action soon, at the much celebrated end of season Ferrari World Finals!
