Florida is a hotbed for hot cars, there’s no denying that. As part of Winter AutoFest Lakeland, Carlisle Events is excited to share that a sleek, sexy and ultra-rare Ferrari FXX-K will be on display throughout the event. From February 21-23 at the SUN n’ FUN Expo Campus, guests can enjoy this masterpiece as part of an all-new special race display.
The FXX-K scheduled to appear retailed for $3 million in 2015 and is just one of 40 produced by designers Marco Fainello/Flavio Manzoni. While 40 were produced 5 years ago, it’s now just one of 10 known to still have its original body, pushing its value well over the $4 million mark in 2020.
The car itself is an engineering marvel. Overall, it weighs just 3,296 pounds and is powered by a hybrid powertrain with 188 horsepower electric motor. On the gas-powered side of things, that performance jumps to 860 horsepower. Four is a popular number with this car. The brakes are carbon ceramic, of course there are four of them. The suspension operates through its four-wheel independent mid-engine, there are four driving modes to optimize track usage and there’s even an active aerodynamics system. Overall, the FXX-K was developed to give an uncompromising experience to the driver.
Immediately after arriving in the United States from Ferrari about one year ago it was featured at the 2019 Casa Ferrari event in Pebble Beach as part of the tribute to the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari. Needless to say, its pedigree is well worth the price of admission in February.
Don’t miss a minute of the Winter AutoFest Lakeland fun in 2020. This car is just one of many great displays and features taking place during the three-day event.
