Ferrari FXX-K Evo

Italian supercar manufacturer Ferrari has revealed the FXX-K Evo. The Ferrari FXX-K Evo is, in essence, an evolution of Ferrari's track-only version of the LaFerrari hybrid hypercar — the FXX-K.

 Ferrari has not upgraded the FXX-K Evo's powerplant compared to the 'regular' FXX-K. So, still sending power to the rear wheels is a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine along with a KERS style hybrid system for a combined output of 1036bhp and over 900Nm of torque. The powertrain is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox.
 However, the new FXX-K Evo has gone on a diet and sports more aero compared to the current FXX-K. At its top speed, the FXX-K Evo produces 830 kilograms of downforce which is 23 percent more than what the FXX-K produces
. Compared to the road-going LaFerrari, the increase in downforce is a mind-boggling 75 percent. At 200kph, the FXX-K Evo produces 640 kilos of downforce, which is similar to the amount produced by GT3 racing cars.


The increase in downforce comes in the form of an extensively revised exterior. These changes include a revised front end with the section under the headlights hollowed out to form additional intakes and flics ahead of the front wheels. The changes allow for a 10 percent increase in downforce.

The rear end now features a fixed rear wing which is supported by two large side fins along with one down the centre with the latter featuring vortex generators, which cleans out the air flowing over the rear end of the FXX-K Evo. The fixed rear wing works in concert with the active rear spoiler to help maximise downforce.




Ferrari has also tweaked the interior of the FXX-K with the new car getting a larger steering wheel and a 6.5-inch display which features a new telemetry system that also shows the status of the KERS system. The FXX-K Evo will be offered as an upgrade pack for FXX K owners but Ferrari will make a limited run available to buyers as well.
