599XX Ear Porn

The racetrack of Interlagos in São Paolo recently held the Ferrari XX Programme and for the crowd it was possible to see for the first time in Brazil the 599XX and FXX in action. My good friends at ExclusivosNoBrasil didn't wasted time and managed to place a GoPro camera on the side of a 599XX Evolution, just close to the exhaust! You won't hear better sounds like this today, so sit and enjoy the XX racing at Interlagos.

Charity Auctions for Emilia Romagna

As you remember, back in May of this year, a series of brutal earthquakes have caused a lot of damages and also casualties in the Emilia Romagna region, the place where the magic happens, where you can find some of the best automotive factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

The weekend of the italian F1 GP, Ferrari has given to Google executive Benjamin Slossag the keys to his brand new Ferrari 599XX sold for an incredible price tag of 1.4m €. The proceeds from this car and other items sold at the charity auction have been donated to the victims of the earthquake.

But it's not over, the funds for this amazing region keep coming through charity car events held all around Italy, and also thanks to Mclaren that has decided to sell on Ebay the racing suits used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton during the italian F1 GP held at Monza. The proceeds will be donated to an hospital and a school for disabled children. Are you a crazy Mclaren fan and want to make a good deed? Here the links to the auctions:

Ferrari Corse Clienti at SPA Franchorchamps

The 17th and 18th of July, the belgian circuit of SPA Francorchamps has been protagonist of the Ferrari Corse Clienti programmes, an event held by Ferrari that let their rich customers have fun with their expensive toys, such as the Ferrari 599XX EVO, FXX EVO and even the F1! Too bad the weather didn't helped alot, but for the real petrolheads this wasn't a problem, and so here below a video-report from several spotters that had the pleasure to hear these amazing cars.

Let's start with the Ferrari 599XX EVO by spotter Gumbal that shows the massive power of the engine and of the brakes!

Ferrari 599XX and FXX shakedown

A few days ago took place in the temple of speed, Monza, the only italian edition of the 2012 season of the Ferrari Corse Clienti that involved the XX Programmes, featuring the Ferrari 599XX, FXX and their EVO editions. So, I couldn't miss this unique opportunity to see and hear in person these fantastic machines. The day was divided in track sessions followed by telemetry sessions, so after you were on track you were able to check out with Ferrari technicians in pitlane your results and it was an opportunity to improve your skills on the fast italian circuit. Monza is located in a fascinating location, inside a huge park in the city, when the cars were driving it was really possible to hear an unbelievable soundtrack from every point of the track, or even in the city nearby.

Here below you can check out some pics and videos made by me and a friend of mine.

Video: Ferrari 599XX EVO in Action

Back in December, 2011, Ferrari showed to the world in the Bologna Motor Show an improvement package for the extreme Ferrari 599XX. The package is called " Evoluzione " and includes many important modifications. Now it's even more powerful with a total of 750hp / 700NM and a 35kg weight reduction.

The package includes also many important aerodinamic modifications and a new huge rear wing which is actuated automatically according to specific parameters which are integrated with the car's other control functions (ESP, ABS, SCM and F1-Trac). The position of the exhaust has been moved on both the sides of the car with an increase of 20hp.

Finally there's a video where it's possible to see the 599XX EVO in action on track, more precisely at the japanese Suzuka racetrack, during a private session of the Ferrari Race Days.
