Eight years after its debut, the Ferrari FXX-K EVO still asserts itself as one of the most ferocious track weapons ever built, as shown in a newly released helmet-cam video capturing a full-throttle hot lap around Monza.
Behind the wheel is Ferrari Challenge driver Sean Hudspeth, whose driver’s-eye footage puts viewers directly in the cockpit as he pilots the limited-run hypercar through one of racing’s most historic circuits. From the pit straight to the Parabolica, the FXX-K EVO’s violent acceleration and unrelenting grip are on full display.
An evolution of the LaFerrari-derived FXX-K, the EVO package was revealed in 2017 and brought a host of aerodynamic improvements, including a fixed rear wing integrated with a shark fin, new front splitters, and aggressive underbody diffusers. Ferrari claims the updates deliver 23% more downforce over the original FXX-K, giving the EVO levels of grip normally reserved for prototype race cars.
Under the hood—or rather, at the rear—sits a hybrid 6.3-liter V12 mated to an electric motor, producing a combined 1,036 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. While the car is not road-legal and limited to Ferrari’s Corse Clienti program, its performance is pure Formula 1 inspiration. Top speed is estimated at 217 mph, though in Monza’s tight chicanes and long straights, the focus is on precision and balance as much as raw power.
The onboard footage is a rare look at a car few will ever drive and even fewer will own. But thanks to Hudspeth’s helmet-mounted camera, enthusiasts around the world get a front-row seat to what it’s like to push an FXX-K EVO to its limits on one of motorsport’s grandest stages.
[…] Video footage from the scene shows both cars traveling slowly down a narrow road lined with spectators when the incident occurred. The Porsche, painted in a distinctive baby blue, can be seen weaving slightly as it follows behind the ultra-rare Jesko. As it moves forward, it appears to accelerate slightly before striking the rear bumper of the Koenigsegg. […]
