Finally let's try some FXX...

3 comments:
Let's conclude this week with yet another of Manuma's rides, again the track is Imola.  In the end what can you say about this clip? Just listen to that sound.  You are riding in the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione you saw shredding rubber earlier this week, it is just awesome. The lap times in the video are about 10 seconds faster than the GT2 on the same track.

And while he may enjoy a bit of an unfair advantage because of the toys at his disposal and with all due respect to our other candidates, we just have to declare Manuma our 2008 Axis Tracktard of the Year. It's both a rarity and a joy to see such cars flogged as if they were spec Miatas and let's face it, a well driven FXX pretty much assures you win the track day world championship!

So congratulations Manuma, thank you for the videos and thrills ...keep them coming.  If we figure out how to make an Axis Stig bobble head trophy we'll send one to you.

Oh one thing...If I can get a track ride in the FXX I will personally fly to Italy (with my helmet) and aim your camera properly!








Give this new player a try, it has a very cool feature: unlike others, it can be streamed on iPhones! Check it out on your iPhone at this LINK and where it says "stream me a user" enter "Axis".
Other smartphones can connect at this LINK
Give us some feedback on the quality.

Evo Donuts...Ferrari FXX Evo that is

3 comments:
It's going to be a great week on Axis, we just got a fresh set of videos from our friends Zampa and Manuma in Italy to share.

By the end of the week we will likely crown the first recipient of the extremely coveted Axis Tracktard of the Year Award™, ...but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Stay with us as we will show you exceptional track videos from a Porsche GT3, a GT2, an Enzo Ferrari and finally some new FXX Evolution videos.

Let me just give you a little taste after the jump. Please, before you do anything, turn up the volume to 11!





Keep in mind this is the EVO version of the Ferrari FXX. It is powered by a 6.2 liter normally aspirated V12 which is nominally rated for 860HP @9500 rpm. Improved aero adds 25% more downforce over the "garden variety" FXX.

Tomorrow join us as we ride with Zampa bitchslapping a slippery GT3 around the Imola Grand Prix track, don't miss it!
