Well according the Car and Driver (or wherever i initially saw it) the Enzo was originally the FX. The FXX is actually a test bed, going to 29 of Ferrari's best customers (at $1.95mil a pop) for R&D on future Ferraris.

still a crappy name for a ferrari

I'm sure if it was a production car it would have a better name. But its just a test-bed and Enzo on crack.

it is a limited production car, 29 already made, and it looks as if they will be making more.



i mean, there were even fewer mclarens and they had a cool racing name: F1



FX just sounds like some corny techno 90's thing or a cheap stereo system.

Dude I'm telling you. Its a test vehicle nothing more than that. 29 is the production number. The 29 are already sold.
