A mysterious Ferrari FXX K Evo prototype has been
filmed testing at Fiorano and has left us scratching our heads. Ferrari lifted the veil on the
ultra-hardcore LaFerrari-based track car roughly a year ago as the ultimate
vehicle in its XX Programme. With other-worldly aerodynamics and performance
that could kill, it really is one of the most insane performance cars ever
offered to ‘regular’ citizens. Is it possible that Ferrari is working on something even more
remarkable, however?
This particular clip, which is actually a video of a
video, was recently published on YouTube and depicts an incredibly-fast vehicle
at Ferrari’s private racetrack. At times, the video appears to have been sped
up but we’re still provided with a decent look at the vehicle’s exterior.
Save for the light camouflage, there’s no
identifiable differences between this prototype and the already-launched FXX K
Evo. This could mean one of a few things. For starters, it is possible that
this is an ordinary FXX K Evo that’s simply being tested before its lucky owner
takes delivery. Alternatively, Ferrari could be covertly testing an uprated
powertrain for the vehicle which could be introduced in the near future.
Perhaps the wildest possibility is that it is an early prototype of a car
Ferrari could eventually race at Le Mans.
This is extremely unlikely, however. While Ferrari
was involved in initial talks about the upcoming Le Mans hypercar class, it
pulled out of discussions in August and appears unlikely to enter the series.
