Awesome! This black beast is wicked & fast!!! Rijeka track in Croatia. Video uploaded with permission of Manuma (owner/driver) and more info here: www.manuma.eu Visit: www.speedandmotion.com .
FROM THE COMPETENT DRIVER HIMSELF: "I'm happy if most of you appreciate my videos. I don't post them to show if I am a great driver or not. I'm doing them only to show you how is an Enzo or a FXX. For the other I don't mind. As Peloton wrote I made the record made by FXX customers in Fiorano. In Monza at Ferrari Mondiali I made the 3rd fastest lap with 15% of tyres. The first 2 are professional driver and the last time I have driven the Fxx was in march so I'm happy for my lap.
Before commenting on his driving ability: Its an 850hp RWD no traction control car. If we even dreamed about attempting that we'd be in a wall! And, note he has won the F1 world championship numerous times, I think he knows what he's doing Long live the prancing horse!
I have loved this video for so long. Couldn't find it for a while. I have imagined often the backstory. Both guys are wearing jeans. Very rich people casual. Probably somebody was like "hey you wanna go for a drive?" Gold jewelry, so what, but tasteful. But he can DRIVE. Anyone know circumstance or driver? Video is 13 years old.. When he hands the passenger his phone at like 150mph-_it's the coolest shit ever. That F. like a barely controllable monster. The sound. This is timeless. I would love to dad more on this vein. Casual drives. Like if Schumacher wanted to show off for a girl 13 years ago. I like to imagine who this driver is. The Stig?
i think hes a good driver he has a good handling of the car and thats not easy at all when ur driving a ferrari fxx i think he knows when to shift too really good video thanx for posting this !
Having never had the luxury of owning, seeing, or driving one of these 30 (one offs from) Ferrari, I cannot believe how (in whatever gear, 1st or 2nd maybe) this monster comes into it's power-band. It's like an on/off switch. Good God, I would love to drive one of these before I die. I love this video. PS At first viewing, I thought this might be Michael Schumacher and his FXX, but I think he had car # 30 and it appears he has sold it as of late. Oh, well I guess I can't say I went for a spin with the winning-est F1 driver of all time.
You sound like your heart and soul is in the performance of what this machine is capable of. Do yourself a favor and go test ride (and subsequently buy) a high-powered sport bike. I recommend a KTM SuperDuke if you don't want to be hunched over on a race bike but still want to rip like a banshee. Please, your soul will be lacking until you twist the throttle and say, "I didn't know it was THIS faaaast!" I promise that you'll find that feeling you're energized about in this video. It's totally attainable. Do it!
Haha you kidding? This is Manuma, the guy is a legend and he's a very good driver. I don't think this has traction control (and if it does it doesn't make much difference) and this car is an absolute beast. I've seen plenty of people get sideways with these and I'd say this guy does a pretty good job saving it. :)
So many people saying he's a bad driver. Ferrari hand picked who they sold 38 of these cars to, highly doubt they chose anyone unworthy. Whip anything this hard with even 500+hp and 2WD and let me know how good you were
Nah, he really is a bad driver. Hamfisting the wheel with closed thumbs, mashing the shit out of the gas and brake instead of rolling on/off.... it screams of amateur.
That car is a beast. I mean I agree with some of the comments that he could possibly push the car harder in some of the turns. But even at the speeds he's driving at you need nerves of steel. I mean, just look at how hard he's trying to keep it together under WOT.
My neighbor Benny Ciola, drove away in his FXX one day, the last time I had seen it a few years ago, I couldn't believe it was going to be driven on te street. But off it went, and didn't come back. The sound was incredible, it was parked in his daughters garage with the exhaust pointed right at my house, awsome machine. I'll miss him.
Its really nice to see some people really pushing these million dollar beasts to the limit. And I love to see it get loose in some of those corners. My god I'm jealous.
i love how that thing just walks on the porches in this video, simply amazing. Wish i had a car that could break traction on any gear at any speed, now thats bragging rites haha
What an awesome car and driver! That's pure power, I love how he has to keep it in tone and correct it when accellerating.. Skilled driver and one hell of a car!
the guy is crazy, is he wearing a helmet? he seems to take a few to many risks but he can drive, not great, but you have to be good to drive that car that hard and keep it on the track. great vid, love the sound!
I've not driven the FXX. It's clear for all to see that this fella is not a race driver though! Miles away from the limits of adhesion for this vehicle & power. Thanx 4 posting anyway.
I can watch this vid over and over again, just luv that sound of pure madness! And for those whos shitting off their mounth that driver is noob, buy your own fxx and show us you`re better!
imagine this....you're at a track day in your pride n joy, perhaps taking a corner at 70-80mph...then suddenly you see this thing getting bigger and bigger in your RVM until suddenly rips by you at some kind of silly speed leaving you awestruck....and feeling like you're in a child's pedal powered toy.....what a machine.
