FXX for the road

Ferrari Enzo too slow? FXX too un-road-legal? Edo Competition has the answer…

Edo Competition FXX

Must be frustrating being an ultra-rich Ferrari customer. You buy yourself an Enzo – all offers in the half-million quid region considered, sir – only to find that it’s woefully, disappointingly underpowered. What’s 660bhp in a world where a modest Audi estate puts out 570bhp? 

So you buy yourself an FXX – all 860bhp and £1,000,000 of it – to discover that you’re not actually allowed to drive it on the road. Or, indeed, keep it in your own garage. Tough break.

What you need, then, is one of these: the FXX Evolution from German tuning house Edo Competition. Essentially it’s a Enzo tuned up to FXX specification… while remaining road legal.

Which means 840bhp – or the full 860bhp if you remove the mufflers – courtesy of a bored-out version of the Enzo’s V12 engine, which now displaces 6.3 litres instead of the original unit’s puny 6.0 litres.

Coupled with a kerbweight some 100kg down on the standard Enzo, and that’s good for a 0-60mph time around three seconds flat. Expect handling to fall firmly into the ‘brutal’ category, thanks to full race-spec adjustable suspension.

Those new rear winglets might come in handy when you get close to the 242mph top speed, too. Eek.

Edo will convert any existing Enzo to FXX specifications, but they haven’t yet released a price for their generous services.

No matter how outrageous the price tag, think of all the spare cash you’ll have after trading in that no-longer-needed FXX…
