On the Track With the Ferrari 599XX
Theoretically the 2010 Ferrari 599XX could be regarded as the greatest four-wheel folly of all time. After all, this is a car that will never be raced and must never be driven on the road. And since just 29 examples will be built over the next two years, you will almost certainly never see one. And did we mention that it costs $1.8 million?
Breaking the Sound Barrier Among all the dynamic barriers broken by the 2010 Ferrari 599XX, one particular achievement stands out. And this is that the 599XX is a full 10 seconds quicker around the Ferrari test track than the exotic Ferrari Enzo, quite an accomplishment by a conventional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive automobile.

 The regular 599 was always on my short list of "if money was no object" cars. I just love the lines of it as well as the performance!

nice car, but come on. $1.8 million for a car that can neither be driven on the road nor on the track in a sanctioned race? The only time you can ever put it in gear and get it going is at an exclusive Ferrari sponsored trackday only. What's the point? I'd rather get the 599gto. Almost all the performance of the 599xx but can actually be driven anywhere you want. I just hope nobody used flammable glue to stick heat shields in the engine bay

If you think $1.8 million is steep, the FXX is priced at $2.5 million with the same restrictions. Then again, this is money well spent for a race car if your bank account balance ends with nine zero's.

It's just like the FXX. It's not street legal so it can't be driven on the road and it doesn't meet the specifications for any race league so it can't be raced. It is part of a program by Ferrari where special Ferrari customers are allowed to buy it, but it is kept and maintained by Ferrari and the customers are only allowed to drive it during specially sanctioned Ferrari events.
