Default $2M Ferrari doing 200mph

Nice track day! The FXX K is the LaFerrari-based race car developed by Ferrari for the brand’s rich-guy-track-day-slash-future-model-development-program, allowing the brand to lay the groundwork for future supercars while simultaneously giving its best clients a thrill even road-going hypercars can barely match. An uprated version of the LaFerrari’s 6.3-liter naturally-aspirated V-12 and electric motor cranks out a total of 1,036 horsepower. Only 40 were built, each at a reported price of more than $2 million...assuming Ferrari invited you to buy one, of course.

That must be a real hoot, especially on the 31° banked turns. I drove my Vette, as one of 24 Vette verts for drivers' introduction, at Auto Club Speedway just before the green flag for the MavTV IndyCar 500 race. Those turns are only 15° and that was a real trip.

^ I've actually driven the Indy 500 track several times over a period of years (the first time was 34 years ago) - all in an MGA - and a couple of laps were hauling ass!

Is that the one you don't actually get to take home with you? Ferrari brings it to the track of your choice when you want to drive it?
