Ferrari FXX-K EVO Tears Through Monza in Driver POV Hot Lap Video
Eight years after its debut, the Ferrari FXX-K EVO still asserts itself as one of the most ferocious track weapons ever built, as shown in a newly released helmet-cam video capturing a full-throttle hot lap around Monza.
Behind the wheel is Ferrari Challenge driver Sean Hudspeth, whose driver's-eye footage puts viewers directly in the cockpit as he pilots the limited-run hypercar through one of racing's most historic circuits. From the pit straight to the Parabolica, the FXX-K EVO's violent acceleration and unrelenting grip are on full display.
An evolution of the LaFerrari-derived FXX-K, the EVO package was revealed in 2017 and brought a host of aerodynamic improvements, including a fixed rear wing integrated with a shark fin, new front splitters, and aggressive underbody diffusers. Ferrari claims the updates deliver 23% more downforce over the original FXX-K, giving the EVO levels of grip normally reserved for prototype race cars.
Under the hood—or rather, at the rear—sits a hybrid 6.3-liter V12 mated to an electric motor, producing a combined 1,036 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. While the car is not road-legal and limited to Ferrari's Corse Clienti program, its performance is pure Formula 1 inspiration. Top speed is estimated at 217 mph, though in Monza's tight chicanes and long straights, the focus is on precision and balance as much as raw power.
The onboard footage is a rare look at a car few will ever drive and even fewer will own. But thanks to Hudspeth's helmet-mounted camera, enthusiasts around the world get a front-row seat to what it's like to push an FXX-K EVO to its limits on one of motorsport's grandest stages.

Man Trades Rare Ferrari for Ineos Station Wagon and $2.4 Million Cash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A car dealer in Texas recently accepted an unprecedented trade-in: A customer walked through the doors of an Ineos dealer looking to trade in their Ferrari F40 for a new station wagon and some cash. The customer got what they came for, walking out of the dealership with the keys to a new Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon and $2.4 million cash. The new Grenadier owner will be using the vehicle on his farm. George Ratcliff, president of the Americas at Ineos Automotive, told Newsweek the story, saying that the dealer principal told the salesperson, "You've got to get it and get out of it. So, he wrote a check for $2.4 million." The dealer turned the car around, selling it the next day for $2.5 million. "The F40 is peak analog Ferrari, a world-class supercar that speaks to an entire generation of auto enthusiasts who are now actively acquiring the cars of their dreams. Even though it's the most abundant of Ferrari's halo car lineup, it's also arguably the most purposeful, making it one of the rare cars to exceed 1,000 units while also being worth more than $2 million," Brian Rabold, Hagerty's vice president of automotive intelligence, told Newsweek.

Ineos Automotive The Grenadier Station Wagon is powered by a BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission, differential locks in the front, center and rear and a two-speed transfer case. Two Ferrari F40s will cross the block this week at RM Sotheby's Monterey Auction as part of Monterey Car Week festivities. Lot 132, a 1990 Ferrari F40, is estimated by the auction house to be worth $2.2-$2.6 million. That car has been owned by just one person since it was purchased, has approximately 224 miles on the odometer and has been in long-term storage. Lot 260 is a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM GTC valued at $8.5-$9.5 million. Just 19 examples of the model were made and this Ferrari is the 14th. It features the most powerful F40 engine available at its time of creation. lists two F40s for public sale in the U.S., one at a Ferrari dealer in Philadelphia ($3.79 million) and one at Specialty Car Collection in West Hollywood, California ($2.3 million). "Before investing in a collectible car, it is important for a family to have sufficient cash flow or available income sources to sustain their everyday lifestyle for a minimum of three to five years without having to liquidate the car in haste —often at a discount — to cover living expenses," Aaron Thiel, a senior wealth strategist at Truist Wealth, told Newsweek. "The longer the investor can keep the car before selling, the better the opportunity for an investor to fully realize the car's appreciation potential over the long run. But this longer time frame must be balanced with the added costs of climate-controlled storage, specialty insurance, restorative needs, and routine maintenance, all of which will certainly impact the investor's overall return on investment. In addition, given the market volatility of collectibles due to changing tastes, illiquidity, and shifting economic trends, it is common for families to cap their investment into collectibles at 5–8% of their overall net worth. These families are also keen on diversification and would rather spread their risk by owning several collectible cars across various eras and categories rather than putting all their eggs into just one car," he said.

Lamborghini Miura Emerges After 40 Years Inside New York Living Room
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A Lamborghini Miura S, one of the most coveted classic supercars in the world, has resurfaced after spending 40 years parked inside a Long Island man's living room. The unusual discovery was featured in a recent episode of Extreme Detailing on Discovery, hosted by master car detailer and YouTuber Larry Kosilla of AMMO NYC. Kosilla was tipped off by exotic car broker Barrett, who had heard about the Miura but needed to verify the story before making an offer. 10 Must-Have Tools and Gear for the Modern Car Collector (Amazon Edition) What they found was more than just a rare car. The Miura S is one of only 50 'Series 2' examples built, and just three were finished in the car's distinctive brownish-gold color. The owner, identified only as Paul, bought the Lamborghini for $10,000 in the 1970s and later brought it into his house through the garage. A wall was then built behind it, effectively sealing the car inside. The car remained untouched for decades, preserved alongside its original manuals and service records. While the passenger seat showed damage and many rubber bushings had deteriorated, Kosilla found the gauges intact and confirmed the original paintwork. The engine and chassis numbers also matched, an important detail for collectors. Barrett eventually purchased the Miura for more than $1 million — a sum far exceeding the value of the house it had been stored in. Extracting the car required partial demolition of the wall, removal of an air-conditioning unit, and clearing several other vehicles from the garage. Once freed, the Miura rolled out under its own weight for the first time in four decades. Experts say its long-term indoor storage may have spared it from corrosion, making it a prime candidate for restoration. The Miura will now likely see daylight — and perhaps the open road — for the first time in generations. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter
