The Ferrari FXX K has officially been revealed of its scheduled debut set to take place during the Finali Mondiali event in Abu Dhabi.

The FXX K will however not be used in any competition, as it has been developed to be “completely uncompromising, incorporating technological innovations”, and will be offered to an exclusive group of clients with whom the company will roll out a test program over the coming two years.

Technological innovations that guarantee an unprecedented driving experience

The vehicle is said to be based on the LaFerrari and its FXX K name refers to the car’s KERS kinetic energy recovery system, which works in conjunction with the standard car’s 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine to deliver a total system output of 772 kW and maximum torque of 900 Nm.

The engine also features new camshafts and a modified valve train with mechanical rather than hydraulic tappets. The intake manifolds have been redesigned and given a special type of polishing treatment. The exhaust system has also been modified as its silencers have been eliminated.

In addition, the HY-KERS system has been evolved specifically for pure performance with the result that it has a control unit from which the driver can select from four different modes. The Qualify mode gives maximum performance within a limited number of laps, the Long Run mode optimises performance consistency, the Manual Boost mode provides instant maximum torque delivery and the Fast Charge mode is for a faster recharge of the car’s battery.

Ferrari FXX K stylistic features

The front of the car is dominated by a twin-profile spoiler and a larger splitter, which is 30 mm lower, with a gap in its centre. At the back, the Ferrari FXX K benefits from a higher tail section and features a mobile spoiler with a small wing on each side. The latter acts as guide vanes in the low drag configuration and boost the spoiler’s efficiency in high downforce.

This system is also said to create considerable downforce at the rear of the car, allowing the use of an extreme diffusion volume for the rear diffuser which optimises air extraction from the underbody.

Ferrari says the result is a 50% improvement in down force in the low drag configuration and a 30% improvement in the more aggressive downforce configuration. This further results in a figure of 540 kg at 200 km/h.

The FXX K is additionally fitted with track-focused special slick Pirelli P-Zero tyres, which incorporate sensors to measure acceleration, temperature and pressure. There is also a five-position Manettino button on the steering wheel which serves as a control unit for the intervention level of the E-Diff electronic differential, the F1-Trac traction control, the Racing SSC (Side Slip Angle Control) system and the high-performance ABS.
