An Aero-Intense Track Weapon
















Ferrari FXX K


Ferrari refers to this car as FXX K rather than LaFerrari FXX K, as u might have noticed the xx in name indicates that this is an experimental version of a car, solely with the purpose of collecting data and the K rationally enough stands for the Kinetic energy recovery system the KERS. Equipped with unprecedented latest technologies, this uncompromising road illegal weapon, does not qualify for any competition or races.
Lapping the Ferrari's Fiorano test track in just 1.14 sec, 6 sec faster than the time set by LaFerrari, it is exclusive to just 40 examples. Each costing $2.5 million each and sadly all sold out already. It is due to hit the tracks in mid-2015.

Technicalities


It Employs the same basic but an uprated version of V-12 electric Drive train as in LaFerrari, but delivers more power with the peak coming online at an amazing 9,200 rpm. Boosting an output of 1036bhp : 848 bph coming from naturally aspirated V12 and 187 from the electric motor this car is capable of sprinting from 0-6.2 mph in under 2.9 seconds.Well droping all the technicalities lets just say this car is 5 to 6 times faster than its road version LaFerrari. Also note that all the silencers on the exhausts has been eliminated, well you what that means, a maximum roaring Ferrari.

Modes


As is customary in any Super sport this car has an upgraded version of LaFerrari's console module, featuring an overhauled version of KERS electric system with four modes decorating the manettino.
  • Qualify ( For the Maximum performance )
  • Long run
  • Manual Boost 
  • Fast Charge ( Charging the batteries in under one lap )


Design


In addition to more power this machine is also benefits from improved aerodynamics. In other words it produces massive amounts of down force, more than half a ton to be precise.
Speaking of the car's Aero, Boari points out " This car has an aerodynamic efficiency of 2.84. And formula F1 car is 3 " 
It said to create almost 1200 pounds of downforce at 124 mph. Interestingly it has an Active Aero meaning, that the car only implies as much as is needed to keep the car glued to the tracks.Well the Ferrari sprouted a whole bunch of stuff for downforce like the double deck spoiler with the vertical fins at the front and the winglets in the low drag configuration at the back.The winglets works as guide vanes while boosting the function of the spoiler in the high downforce mode.

The DRS, Drag Reduction System operates the rear wing reducing the drag coefficient. giving it an aerodynamic boost thus increasing the straight line speed.
Both of these features are operated manually by the two buttons on the steering wheel.














As any hyper sport, this car comes with a number of driving modes

All of these modes are at the drivers disposal operated by respective buttons






There are Four different displays on the main screen in front of the driver, depending upon the driving mode.In Normal Sport and Track modes the tachometer and the speed are given the greatest prominence.



















The E-mode


This car can be operated in 3 ways either by utilizing a petrol engine or engaging the battery or a combination of both. The machine can be switched to an all out electric source, namely the E-mode. In this mode the P1 utilizing the 324 cell lithium ion high density battery pack can cover almost 10 km.The battery can be charged by either the engine itself or through a plugin equipment in 2 hours.
























Brakes

It is rumored that the MacLaren P1 brakes would never need to be changed.As it the only car currently utilizing one of the hardest materials on Earth, developed by Akebono.It just takes 6.2 sec to come to a stand still from an outrageous 186 mph.
