2006 Ferrari FXX Coupe

The original owner of this vehicle, Benny Caiola, signed a purchase agreement for this vehicle on March 15th of 2006. It arrived in New York later that summer. The car was finished in Formula One Red livery with white accents. Shortly after taking delivery, Mr. Caiola participated in a handful of Ferrari-sanctioned US event that took place between 2007 and 2008 including Infineon, Homestead and Moroso. After participating in these events, Mr. Caiola took advantage of Corse Clienti's latest offering, the Evoluzione kit. The $300,000 package was the result of feedback received during the first two years of the FXX Programme and addressed many aspects of the purpose-built Ferrari. Modifications included changes to the engine, improved driver control, an updated traction control system, and many other minute details. Power increased to a staggering 860 bhp at 9,500 RPM, up from the standard 790 bhp. The F1-style, paddle-shift gearbox received revised gear ratios and was re-programmed to execute shifts in just 60 milliseconds, 20 milliseconds quicker than before.

The aerodynamics were greatly improved with a redesigned diffuser and rear flaps. Aerodynamic efficiency improved by 25% percent.

In 2011, this FXX with the Evoluzione kit and having just 1,400 km of track time was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car was estimated to sell for $2,200,000 - $2,500,000. It is one of just 30 example built and is the most advanced Ferrari production car. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $2.09 million.
