Ferrari has officially unveiled the FXX K ahead of its debut at the Finali Mondiali in Abu Dhabi. Based on the LaFerrari, the company's first hybrid machine, it will be launched next year. The K in its moniker is a reference to the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) it adopts.
The track-only FXX K will never be used in competition and has been developed to be 'completely uncompromising, incorporating technological innovations'. Of course like all Ferraris, the FXX K will be offered only to an exclusive group of clients with whom the company will roll out a test program over the next two years. However, it is what's under the bonnet that intrigues us.
The FXX K unleashes a maximum output of 1021bhp, thanks to a 835bhp V12 engine and a 188bhp-churning electric motor. The maximum torque is over 900Nm. The 6.2-litre V12 internal combustion engine has been substantially overhauled for track duty.
The car also gets new camshafts, and re-designed intake manifolds; also the mechanical tappets have replaced the traditional hydraulic efforts in the FXX K. The intake manifolds also receive a special type of polishing treatment. The optimised HY-KERS system has a control unit that allows the driver to select from 4 different modes.
