INTRODUCTION:Ferrari Enzo is one of the most exclusive and rare cars available on the tuning market with a 6.0-liter 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta. Dubbed the Enzo XX Evolution, Edo Competition took it to the next level by increasing the performance with several aftermarket parts. They were able to increase the displacement from 6.0 to 6.3-liters, added new camshafts, connecting rods, titanium valve spring retainers, and then modified the cylinder heads for the displacement increase.

HIGHLIGHT:High performance exhaust headers were installed, along with high flow catalytic converters and a muffler. The stock hydraulic tappets on the Ferrari Enzo were replaced with solid tappets that allow the 12 cylinder Enzo XX Evolution to rev a remarkable 9,600 rpm. Edo Competition was able to boost the Ferrari Enzo to 840 horsepower, while making the vehicle 100 kilograms (220 lbs) lighter.

SPECIFICATIONS:Power and all power – that is the exact term for the 2010 Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution. Power in the sense that should be a mogul in order to purchase it and all power because one has all the right to display such a remarkable piece of metal with the following features:

• 6.3 liter V12 engine
• 840 horsepower at 575 lb-ft @ 5800 rpm torque
• Top speed of over 242 mph
• 3.2 seconds at 0 to 62 mph
• High performance clutch – strada or pista friction pads
• Stainless steel muffler with two different levels or pitch of sound

ENGINE:A bump in displacement from 6.0 to 6.3 liters, new camshafts, new titanium valve spring retainers and connecting rods, modified cylinder heads, new high performance exhaust headers, high flow catalytic converters, mufflers and air filters: that’s the scope of edo competition’s engine modifications. The standard hydraulic tappets are replaced with newly developed solid tappets, enabling the 12 cylinder engine to rev to an incredible 9,600 rpm. This is unmatched by any other 12 cylinder engine at this time! Additionally the intake system of the V12 was modified, a new high performance clutch - available with „strada“ or „pista“ friction pads - and a more powerful oil pump were installed. The power output is increased by 180 to 840 horsepower. Without mufflers more than 860 horsepower is possible. The maximum torque of 780 Nm (575 ft-lb) is available at 5,800 rpm.

DESIGN:The edo/KW race suspension from the FIA GT series was retuned for the Enzo XX Evolution, promising ultimate driving dynamics. The nose lift functionality is retained. The low-friction 3-way adjustable shock absorbers can be adjusted to the individual tastes of the driver and provide excellent steering precision and feedback. The edoinstalled tire pressure monitoring system displays the pressures for each of the four wheels. Providing ample grip for the edo Enzo XX Evolution are 19 inch front wheels and 20 inch rear wheels with 335 mm wide tires. The drive shafts were replaced due to the higher propulsive forces acting on them. The new units are 4 kg (8.8 lb) lighter and considerably more robust in order to cope with the enormous power increase.

CONCLUSION:The Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution received a new rear skirt with rear wing profile adjustable in 3 steps and a retractable rear wing with a taller flap to increase downforce and improve stability. This won’t be the last modified car from Edo Competition so stay tuned for the lastest car tuning news.

INTRODUCTION:The F60 is the fifty fifth single-seater built by Ferrari specifically to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship. The name of the car was chosen to celebrate the Scuderia's participation in all 60 editions of the Formula 1 World Championship since 1950 to date.

HIGHLIGHTS:The car was originally scheduled to be track debuted at nearby Fiorano, but Felipe Massa instead took to the cockpit of the F60 for the first time at Ferrari's other circuit, Mugello, after the launch. Massa said he was pleasantly surprised about the appearance of the F60.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Chassis
Carbon-fibre and honeycomb composite structure
Ferrari longitudinal garbo Limited-slip differential

BBS Wheels (front and rear) 13"
Kinetic energy recovery system by Ferrari in cooperation with Magneti Marelli

Engine
Type 056
Number of cylinders 8
Cilinder block in cast aluminium V 90°
Number of valves 32

Total displacement 2398 cm3
Piston bore 98 mm
Weight > 95 kg
Magneti Marelli digital electronic injection
Magneti Marelli static electronic ignition
Fuel Shell V-Power ULG-66L/2
Lubricant Shell

DESIGN:The design also takes into account two other significant changes in the 2009 regulations: the possibility of using a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) and the reintroduction of "slick" tyres. The KERS on the F60 was designed by Ferrari in collaboration with Magneti Marelli and is centrally mounted on the engine under the rear part of the chassis; its management has involved all departments of the Gestione Sportiva. The return to tyres with no grooves is another element which is down to the work of the OWG, as is the introduction of a flap on the front wing that can be adjusted by the driver when the car is moving.

CONCLUSION:The F60 also sees a return of slick tires, as well as the use of the optional Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). Ferrari’s KERS has been designed jointly with Magneti Marelli and is centrally mounted on the engine under the rear part of the chassis. Other details include a seven-speed transmission and a redesigned Type 056 V8 engine that must last three races in accordance with the new regulations. Max rpm has also been reduced from 19,000 to 18,000 revs.
