Just like the , the road-going version of the GTO was built because the Group B Race Series said that examples needed to be made, before Ferrari could go racing. Sadly, Ferrari abandoned the series before they even took part in a single race. Between and , a total of were manufactured including 5 special GTO Evoluzione models.

Even more detrimental is the fact that 17 people were killed and another were injured during this natural disaster, but Ferrari is doing what they can to help the victims left behind.
The Online Ferrari Store will also dedicate a section to this event, where customers will have the opportunity to purchase auction items, including Prancing Horse watches.
Today, Youtube user Shmee is offering up an equally cool video shot at the same event. It shows behind the scenes shots and shots in and around the paddock before the cars headed out and blasted away. These are coupled with numerous clips of flybys, epic downshifts, the glowing brakes, and plenty of eye candy! This video was recently shot at the Monza racetrack and features the Ferrari XX EVO Evolution in action with start up, loud accelerations, fast fly bys, and amazing downshifts on the track!
As a reminder, the XX Evo is powered by a 6. Expect to see more videos like this in the future because the XX Evo will be used for the racing season! Despite their often feather-light bodies and extreme powerful engines, supercars are some of the safest cars on the planet thanks in part to the extensive use of composite materials, such as carbon fiber.
However, no amount of safety can save people from recklessness as highlighted in the following crash which occurred recently in Singapore. The Ferrari GTO, which is the fastest car ever produced by Ferrari, was being driven by local businessman Ma Chi when it collided with a taxi after the GTO ran a red light, killing the taxi driver, taxi passenger, and Ma Chi himself. A motorcycle was also involved in the incident with the rider escaping with serious spinal injuries, while the year-old female passenger from the Ferrari suffered head injuries and was treated on the scene.
As you would expect, the scene of the crash was littered with debris and the most surprising thing to come out of this crash is that it all seems to have been caught on tape. A GIF image reportedly showing the Ferrari running a red light and hitting the taxi was posted on Twitter and soon converted into a YouTube video which you can see after the jump. The new Evolution package boasts of aerodynamic advancements, as well as a boost in power, and will be available to clients participating in the track-based research and development program for the seasons.
The new aero package uses an active rear wing that features two flaps, with profiles similar to those used in Formula 1, which rotate electronically to adjust the downforce between the front and rear axles in function of vehicle speed and the maneuver being effected. Hit the jump to check it out! For the kit, Vorsteiner is offering a new font bumper fascia, an integrated chin spoiler, a new bonnet with carbon fiber vents, side sill extension blades, and a rear bumper fascia with an integrated rear diffuser.
Rounding out the program is a stainless steel race exhaust system with brushed tips and a new set of 1-piece forged Monoblock wheels that Vorsteiner specifically made for the Ferrari Then again, horsepower is enough output for us on its own. Italian tuning firm, Romeo Ferraris, is back for another installment of "tuning car awesomeness" and for their next program, they have reached for the mightiest of the mighty in the Ferrari GTO. It certainly goes without saying that the GTO is considered one of the finest vehicles to ever come out of Maranello and the boys over at Romeo Ferraris are quick to give the mighty Italian supercar even more juice than it already has.
Mighty meaty, indeed! The love of fast cars must run through the Ecclestone blood line. Not only is billionaire Bernie Ecclestone the president and CEO of Formula One, but in a not-so-surprising turn, his daughter seems to love them just as much.
It rockets the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 3. It is limited to only units. While some people still try to decide whether or not the new Ferrari F12berlinetta is a beauty or a beast, the most extreme ever built, the XX Evolution, laid out its lusciousness on the Suzuka race track. As a reminder, the XX is an evolution of the original It is powered by a V12 engine that delivers a total of HP at rpm and lb-ft of torque an increase of 50 HP over the standard model.
The Charcoal Gray matte finish is attractive in its own right. Even if this program is devoid of any performance modifications, the slick, sexy, and stealthy look of the Ferrari GTB Wraith is enough reason for us to bow down to the boys at SR Auto Group. This has been quite an interesting past couple of weeks for British magazine, EVO, as they have had the chance to test some of the most impressive cars in the world, including this very cool Ferrari SA Aperta tested by Harry Mercalfe.
It can sprint from mph in 3. Watch the video to see what Harry Mercalfe thinks about this impressive car, but we can assure you that he only has good things to say about it. It is powered by a V12 engine delivering a total of HP at rpm with a maximum torque of Nm at rpm. As luck would have it, someone spotted a very cool GTO this past weekend at Motor4Toys, a charity car show for the Christmas holiday.
And the driver was kind enough to allow one of the guests of the show to record a walkaround of the car, along with the revving sounds of the engine! The Ferrari has been making a lot of news lately, particularly as far as its eventual successor is concerned. Now, before the get its swan song, German tuning company Wheelsandmore has prepared a send-off program for the Italian exotic. And true to their reputation as one of the best in the business, Wheelsandmore knocked this one out of the park.
What this does is lift the front axle up around 1. Saying goodbye to a car like the Ferrari GTO is never easy. But thanks to Wheelsandmore, we now have one final tuning program for the Italian supercar that we can enjoy.
Fresh off of the announcement of the Evolution is another special edition, this time specifically for the GTB. Customers will get to choose between three different liveries, but they will also be able to opt for a reduced body roll for a stiffer ride, sharper cornering, improved road-holding combined with superbly easy control, and an interior inspired by the two legendary vehicles. It certainly goes without saying that this particular GTB special edition model is one of the most desirable limited run Ferrari models in recent history.
Check out the video after the jump! Impressive, to say the least. The exterior look of the car remains virtually the same, specifically the Hamann carbon fiber bodykit that was fitted to go with a plush new set of 21" glossy black wheels with red trim. To ensure that the Ferrari supercar is as light as it can be, Anderson Germany also provided some carbon fiber on the gear shift, door handles, door sills, and center console.
If Ferrari considers themselves an automaker with exclusive clientele, they do so knowing that despite catering to a relatively small market, the people who buy Ferraris are a loyal and well-spending bunch. And apparently, a lot of Ferrari enthusiasts are chirping about not getting their hands on some of the latest special edition models, especially after the small run of 80 Ferrari SA Apertas were sold out before many had the chance to get their hands on one.
This became such an issue that it has prompted Ferrari CEO Luca di Montezemolo to think about opening an exclusive club for these die-hard fellas.
The whole point of this ultra-exclusive club is to give its members the right of first refusal as far as limited edition Ferrari models are concerned. In all seriousness, this club is expected to be limited to a certain number of members where you can expect a very stringent screening process to determine who qualifies to get keys to this club and who gets left out.
Potential members may need to own about five or more Ferrari models, which Ferrari says only totals about collectors worldwide. This exclusive loyalty club will be much smaller than the existing Ferrari clubs, which total about 13, members in more than 30 countries. Just a few weeks ago, it was rumored that Ferrari was working on a special edition bearing the name of the great Fernando Alonso. That may still be the case, but if that model does come along, it will be paired with the sports car in these new spy shots.
The new XX Evo was seen last week when it was showed to a group of select customers at the Ferrari Mondiali event inside Ferrari. It was created for Ferrari Corse Clienti race clients and made for use only in Ferrari track events. Spy shots reveal an aerodynamic package that includes a large rear wing, a new exhaust package, electronic upgrades, and larger brakes.
The car will have a very special guest driver on this occasion: Giancarlo Fisichella. Normally at the end of my articles, I assign the car a rating out of 5.
This rating takes into consideration a number of factors such as performance, road manners, bang-for-buck, desirability, and presence. As this is a supercar website, other matters such as fuel efficiency, cargo space and off-roading capabilities factor into the assessment much less i. It is a car through its own existence, not subject to the standard criteria applied when articulating through an evaluation.
The XX Evoluzione is a car born and bred for a single purpose, not one to appeal to general consensus. Needless to say, there are lots of conditions owners are subject to before they can even fire up the engine. Certainly not the type of car you can just hop into for a Sunday stroll to the supermarket. It truly is a privilege — if not just damn good luck — to drive one. That privilege also comes with an insanely expensive bill.
As a race car, the Ferrari XX Evoluzione certainly has performance figures worth mentioning and an appearance deserving of its own art gallery. What stands out to me the most about owning an Evoluzione however, would be the prestige of knowing that when you are behind the wheel of one, you are making a contribution in the quest for a better, faster future. I have to admit that this is a sentiment I would enjoy experiencing, even if only for a short time. Never before has something that money could buy, also be so priceless and unobtainable at the same time.

The Ferrari GTB Fiorano also benefits from an already vast choice of personalisation options available for every Ferrari model. The Scuderia wheel arch shields and coloured brake calipers complete the look for sportier clients. Interior and Materials options include a new Enzo Ferrari-inspired carbon-fibre steering wheel with LED rev display which can be specified along with a special carbon-fibre trim kit for the door panels, instrument panel, gear stick surround and sill kick panels.
