SF90 XX, FXX-K, FXX, 599XX: Explore Ferrari's XX Secret Stash
Way back in 2005, we saw the very first fruit from Ferrari's 'XX' programme. That first car, the FXX, was an Enzo like no other. It was modified by Ferrari to be run exclusively on track. You see, Ferrari had the idea to take on board a ‘special group’ of customers in developing future Ferrari road cars. The idea was they’d drive these hyper-realised machines on Ferrari’s terms, and provide important data back to the engineers to inform thinking around what the company could do for its future customer cars, rather than only taking data from its honed, chiselled in-house test drivers.
But you can't just be anybody and play in the XX club. You have to be a *somebody*. The best of Ferrari's exclusive customer base. Which means many people will never get close to the likes of the FXX, 599XX, SF90 XX, the XX 'Evoluzione' cars or the FXXK. Fortunately, Top Gear is on hand to show you the rarest of the rare. The holiest of the holy. Welcome to Ferrari's XX secret stash at Fiorano.

FXX-K? SF90 XX? 599XX? 499P Modificata? Which ultimate Ferrari would you take home from this lineup?
Enzo FXX for sure.
499P Modificata
SF90 XX is not €2.5 million 😂😂
599 XX and 499P for sure
599XX Evo
Sf90xx shouldn’t have been an xx but a speciale since it it’s road legal. It still looks amazing tho 😮💨
Probably at the request of the people writing the checks for them.
it looks like shit, what you talking about
I Disagree. Eventho The XX Program Is Most Track Only Cars It Nice To This Program Is Expanding In To The Road Cars. Ain’t No Telling What Data They Can Gather From This Car Since It’s Going To Be Driven More Then Most Of There Track Cars
Similarly 599 GTO shouldn´t be road car.
it's called STRADEALE for a reason
The first FXX-K with the dual spoilers is one of my favourite car designs, ever. Bar none, hands down, drop dead gorgeous.
Agree!!
The sound too is amazing
The orginal 2005 and 2008 FXX is still my favorite car ever. The Ferrari F50 GT and F40 LM came close though. Absolutely wonderful video.
The F50 GT was lapping in 1:10s in 1997. To this day it's still the best Ferrari ever made.
@@michaeltrumph121 The engine sound is like nothing else too. All those cars are in their own breed 🏎️
And if you're mentioning the F50 GT, then you HAVE to also consider the F40 Competizioné too, just outta respect you know lol
@@bdz2152 That H pattern goes hard😎
@@michaeltrumph121greatest car ever made. Only 2 or 3 of them in world
SF90 XX is basically like how the 360 and 430 had the Stradale/Scuderia. Like how Richard said Ferrari doesn't go all the way with engineering a car, just so they can sell a more expensive car with just a bit more power.

Not sure why, but the 599 (and all its evolutions -- F12, 812 and so on) make me drool. Of course the 599XX (especially the second version) is absolutely jaw dropping.
I wish TopGear could have delved a bit deeper into how the program works. How many events per year, can you go to Ferrari hq and 'check out' your car around fiorano whenver you want? can you send your car to any track you want? Do you actually own the car, or is it a complicated lease situation? What does buying actually mean? Even just how much it is. Does ferrari cover travel and accommodation expenses? What does the engineering support mean? What happens if you crash the car? Do they host spec races at the events? This video left me with more questions than answers lol and I think you guys should make a follow up, maybe the Ferrari racing days event at Laguna Seca 15-19 of May to show us more
oh and can you sell your spot, and does ferrari have to approve the sale?
sorry one more question: what happens after those two years of support?
given a handful of people are privy to the specifics, I doubt many people know these things for sure
You can keep those Ferraris at your home. Over the years you saw collectors having them stand in their garage. I doubt every owner does it, but if you want...
Hey! I have a bit of an insight about these things so I'll answer the questions. 1. There's about 10-12 events at different tracks around the world for XX cars. 2. Yes, you can checkout your car at fiorano and even drive on the track given you have an appointment. 3. Yes, you can send your car to any track you want but you will have to pay Ferrari for the shipping charges and race engineering crew charges. 4. Yes. You legally own the car and it is in your name. It is just stored by Ferrari at maranello so that it can be properly maintained and taken care of by the experts there. They ship it all around the world for you to drive at the events. You can also store the car with yourself if you wish to! 5. You pay Ferrari for any of the events that you want to attend with the car (usually around $50-$70k per weekend). This includes the charges for shipping the car, accomodation, food , trackday, driver training and maintanence crew. Travel cost is on your own. 6. They cost around $6M in the US nowadays. 7. These racecars need to be properly maintained and run to make sure they work properly. Unlike a normal road car you can't just turn on the car and start driving. There needs to be lots of preparation in terms of oils, fuels, tires, engine, software, etc. So there are Ferrari engineers at the track to take care of the cars while they run and fix them if anything goes wrong. There are many mechanics and technicians just like in F1 to make sure the cars run smoothly. 8. The trackdays are more for experiencing the cars freely on a track rather than racing. Racing on the track during XX days is not encouraged but a few owners still love doing it😜. Let me know if you have any more question!
These cars are so exclusive only certain people will ever hear about them haha
speak for yourself lol the rest of us have been watching clips of these go around the track for the past two decades
@@Vincetagram mostly joking but ok 👍
@@davidgalante8521 oh lol
if you live in europe, Ferrari track days are pretty common. The 599xx sounded so good
I've only seen one of these in America. That was at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles California.
FXX FXXK and the 599XX are the goats
100% best sounding
FXXK can only be one word when flooring it in one of those
That's what shmee said when he sat in one
Out of all these cars I have only seen the FXX K Evo and I shed a tear when I saw it. Beautiful car(s)
The FXX, 599XX, FXX-K Programmes are the very same reason why I fell in love with Ferrari. So Much passion and rich history in racing. It is in their blood.
The full name of the SF90 XX is SF90 XX Stradale (meaning "Road" in Italian). That Stradale moniker is very important part of that name because it clearly indicates that it was never supposed to be a genuine XX programme car but a road legal version of the Ferrari XX cars. All the engineering experience gained from the XX programme has been carried over into the SF90 XX Stradale. That's the whole point of this car. You people are just confusing yourself by overthinking and not understanding Ferrari's true intention with this car.
Perfectly said. The Stradale is analogous to how the O (for Omologato) in GTO is!
Ferraris are just magical! Pieces of art with an engine and with wheels!
The FXX and subsequently the evolutione version with 860 bhp from that insane 6.3 v12 will always be my favorite XX car... Forza Horizon 1 as well as Motorsport 3 and 4, what a cool video and an amazing collection of prancing horses
I was lucky enough to witness some of these cars go round Monza back in spring. Insane experience
I need Every Ferrari from XX Programme in My Collection
The F50 GT was lapping in 1:10s in 1997. To this day it's still the best Ferrari ever made.
I've been head over heels in love with the F50 since I first laid eyes on it at 10 years old. It's the most beautiful car ever made. The way the body flows into the rear wing is the pinnacle of car design.
F50 Is my Absolute all dreamcar ❤
Criminal saying the original Enzo was not beautiful
This guy talking in the video is absolutely clueless. Who let him into Maranello? He's talking so much ignorant nonsense.
More than 10 years had passed but the La Ferrari still looks way better than most modern super/hyper cars.
Say what you like Ferrari as a brand and manufacturer are in a league of their own. It’s the pinnacle
Until you drive any Porsche
Right next to Lamborghini that is...😏
You obviously don't know anyone who has owned one. They are the worst built super cars by miles. Unreliable, terrible welds etc.
@@bdz2152you mean a Volkswagen? 😂😂
Ferrari cease and desists are in a league of their own.
Didn't know that the 599xx evo had a lap of 6:45 at nordschleife. That is fast
What a dream garage. Every one of those beautiful machines is an engineering piece of art. Ferrari for life!
Schumi's black Enzo FXX is so gorgeous. It looks like a stealth car from a James Bond movie, absolutely incredible machine.
599XX is my ultimate Dream car! I Love that damn car so much!
Thank you for this, top gear. We needed this. 😍
8:31 it's a bit like when they put GTO on the 599...
it was a dream to watch all 3 of the XX cars at the Ferrari Fest at the Jeddah Cornice Circuit....the sounds were just eargasm🤤🤤
Oh wow, this is amazing. Such beautiful machines.. thanks for sharing with us all.
A lot of people seem to dislike the aesthetics of high down force track cars. I find it absolutely gorgeous as long as the front splitter isn't a table top lol. I'm the guy that thinks the Senna is much prettier than the P1 and especially the Speedtail.
Same here.
Then u have the P1 GTR and Senna GTR as well, boy oh boy do they look incredible
OMG that Modificata is drop dead gorgeous!!
I was lucky enough to be in that room last week. It’s mind blowing. Shame they didn’t go upstairs as it’s full of F1 cars. It’s Ferraris newest building on the campus. We were very lucky to be invited for a factory tour. It’s also worth visiting the two Ferrari museums.
I'm glad that you spoke about the SF90XX dimishing the XX lineage despite the access and media privileges you get. Good journalism.
That's just his personal opinion. The SF90 XX doesn't diminish anything. You people are such drama queens it's just pathetic.
I'm too broke to watch this video 😂
I'm glad, that I had the opportunity to drive the FXX. A machine in its perfection, pure mechanic, pure function
That is just insane. Thanks so much for this video
599XX Evoluzione my favourite XX program car. Seen FXX, 599XX and FXX-K at Imola in 2018 and all of them are truly special Ferraris. Sono tifosi sempre! 🇮🇹
FXX Evo sounds fantastic. 🤤🥵
Would really want to see a 812 xx
Yes and also one of the modern mid-engine V8's. Imagine a Pista XX?
@@NJRacer623Technically they have the challenge program for v8 I guess.
@@1nmasuku with the technology available nowadays, it shouldn't be a difficult task to put up a hybrid v8 with the xx near perfection tune and some crazy aero. That would be a better successor to 599xx/evo. But if they continue with a v12 hybrid that would be even better
@@NJRacer623 exactly although Ferrari coming up with crazy concept cars compensates for 812xx not being made ig
The Enzo not pretty ? Opinion, opinions.
Simply amazing
Absolutely amazing!!!
I wonder how many dollars worth of cars is in that room
What a collection
These sounds are amazing
already watch like 6 times omg . damn you top gear .
thanks for sharing this
a symphony of exhaust
599xx in yellow and black. Bellissimo
These cars are just insane
Loved the Special XX in this video 😁
Sf90xx didn't cost 2.5 million as you mentioned in your video at 3:53
Yep. No idea where they got that ridiculous number from. But it's Top Gear. Don't expect too much.
@@AB-80X They are the one's who started the propaganda that the xx program cars can't be kept at the owner's garage, so that's where their credibility lies!
"The regular Enzo wasn't pretty." Ollie! seriously? :D It looked edgy and elegant at the same time. Today, a timeless, modern classic, IMO.
The 599XX Evo looks stunning!
The 499P. A lovely way to circumnavigate the Hypercar and F1 testing rules
It will be good to listen to the sound of each)
This is Paradise 😍
Amazing cars, amazing engineering marvels, sad that none of these cars will ever be used to their potential and will spend most of the time in a showroom...
Should have come up with a different name for it. Not SF90xx
7:24 literally what I tell myself when I get up and go to class and plan how to enact my vision of my future business.
The FXX-K has the numbers, the looks, and the legacy (based on the LaFerrari from the Holly Trinity) to be my favorite XX, and as for now, the last true XX
If i had the money i would buy the tdf and put the 599xx buttress wings/fins on it
I'd pick the very limited road car based F50 GT1 with a real Formula 1 engine over any other XX car in that line-up. Just fortunate enough to witnessed one in action.., the looks, the sound, oh btw, im in Japan.
I love that I'm sole handlely responsible for such greatness.
599xx first year is personally my favourite 😵
I believe it’s 450hp on those models. Same as 993 Turbo S mkll. Anyway, love your vlogs! Btw, you’ve missed showing the Nissan GT-R in the collection. 🥶😅
My favorites
The Ferrari FXXK "Blue Angel" (Blue body, Yellow accent) spec is my all time favorite looking car since first seeing it. The silver and black spec looks amazing as well, but the Blue Angel spec just fits the car in every way. The design of the FXXK is just so .... perfect. It's aggressive looking but also smooth and stylish. Every angle of the car is just looking at a beautifully crafted work of art. It looks as if it could actually fly. The spoiler fins are unique an honestly only work on this car and make it appear even more jet fighter like.
Incredible VIVA LA FERRARI❤🔥
I'm on the side that loves the original FXX without the wing mirrors and had either the small rear facing cameras or no wing mirrors at all. The overall profile of that car is absolutely fantastic.
599XX EVO for me. In fact, my favourite Ferrari has been always the 599 GTO. Peak Ferrari in my opinion. And yes, I also think the SF90 XX does not belong to this legacy of cars, amazing car but not a prototype like other XX from the Ferrari program.
599 Evo is my dream car!!!!!!
Best sounding Ferrari ever, IMO
Have u heard ddes 599 it sounds insane
Awesome!
MY FAVORITE 🤩🤑🤩 PERFECT COUPLE EVO FXX AND EVOLUTIONE FXX LA FERRARI
Better dungeon than any existing dungeons out there🥵🔥for any tifosi
It's nice being in an exclusive club of elites.
Ferrari FXX is eargasm in real life
FXX-K EVO ftw, i love my country🇮🇹🇮🇹
Wow 🤩 they are so beautiful 😍 too bad the owners can’t have them in their garages.
I doubt the sf90 is not selling.
even Verstappen has one
Ferrari stopped taking order for SF90 a few months ago
@@notagain2856not because it wasn't selling though, it's four years old, it's at the end of its lifespan
599XX Evo is very cool!
The FXX is hands down one of THÉ best engine sounds ever!
And the Evoluzione being able to rev even higher is just unbelievable
Have you heard the F50 GT? That's my only exception to your claim!
@@DB-fn3fz In my opinion the FXX screams WAY louder and sounds much, much better.
@@mortenhansen3455 in reality, the F50 GT is louder than the FXX. I've heard both in person. It is also a lot faster than the FXX, but this is another topic. Both cars are just stunning, so I can't blame your choice. 👍
That fxx that broke the top gear time was unbelievable
Ferrari really shouldn't have used the xx name with the SF90. It truly dilutes how special the actual track-only cars are.
There's stradale in the name as well, which means road in Italian!
Unleashing the beast
599XX evo, so good
That SF-90XX is supposedly 1590 kg (3505 lbs) so proper chunky but that doesn't take anything away from the fantastic machines that have led up to 2024.
Speechless 😮
10:17, did Batman order 3 ... they look incredibly menacing OMG 😲 what a beauty in dark Knight colors
The script is not entirely right. The FXXK's in the showroom aren't 'regular' FXXK's but rather their 'Evo' evolutions. The car driven by Chris, is the regular FXXK. Easy to see with the difference in the spoiler.
Furthermore, Ferrari will build 1398 of these SF90 XX's, can't believe they will be 2.5m each as shown in the table at 3:52?
Ohh man I love FXX-K 😍
What list do you have to be on for this? This is like a VIP room in a VIP room.
You have to be a long-standing customer of Ferrari, owning several models purchased new.
@@AtheistOrphan That’s the standard for many new models. These are a different level of exclusivity.
@@drstevej2527 - Oh right. I based my reply on what I’d read in the motoring press about qualifying criteria for the FX program.
@@AtheistOrphan I’ve owned only one Ferrari but there is a difference between the criteria that they claim they are using and the actual criteria. It’s a major point of contention in the industry.
they should have put the 812 Superfast V12 in the SF90XX !🙏
Loudest garage on Earth
The original 599xx non Evo is so beautiful.
The white FXX-K Evo might just be the best looking Ferrari ever, after the F40.
anyone remember the phallic drawing on the track at the ring @ 1:59 from top gear
Luxury cars, everything is fine, except for the Micron cup
Next upload a video of the road legal Ferrari V12, 812 competizione Aperta or 812 competizione, thank you @topgear
I see a bunch of ideas for the @DailyDrivenExotics 599 in the near future...
