Having already upgraded exclusive supercars such as the Maserati MC12, Porsche Carrera GT, Ferrari Enzo and Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, edo competition has now turned one example of the Ferrari FXX into a homologated road car. Ferrari devised the FXX as a track-only car to be used in a special programme where customer-drivers provide feedback when using the cars during special events on race tracks the world over.

Now well know German tuner edo competition has developed one example of the 30 units of the 800 bhp/689 Nm 6.3-litre V12 engined FXX that were built in Maranello into a road-legal car. It features a new sport suspension system with nose lift function. It incorporates racing suspension technology for the road with adjustable compression and rebound damping. Independently adjustable compression and rebound damping permits truly individual suspension setups. The unique system, with its three different adjustments, allows for low-speed compression damping characteristics to be altered while the high-speed settings, having a strong influence on ride-quality, remain constant.

Along with the suspension changes the Edo Competition Ferrari FXX features a newly developed performance exhaust system and ew forged wheels (front: 10 x 19" and rear: 13 x 20" with Michelin tires 265/35 19 and 335/30 20).

The supercar has now has approval for road use along with further necessary modifications for road use including a new windshield made from laminated glass, the fitting of a hand brake and an immobiliser, as well as a modified lighting system.
