Trackside Royalty: The FXX K and Its Elite Circle of Enthusiasts and Collectors
The Ferrari FXX K, introduced in 2014 as a track-only hypercar, represents the apex of Ferrari’s engineering and innovation. As an evolution of the groundbreaking LaFerrari, the FXX K retains its predecessor's hybrid technology but takes it to new extremes. The “K” in its name denotes the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), a sophisticated hybrid system that allows for the capture and reuse of energy during braking. With a combined output of 1,036 horsepower (848 kW) from its 6.3-liter V12 engine and electric motor, the FXX K was engineered to dominate the track.
This hypercar was not available for standard purchase. Ferrari carefully curated a list of owners, requiring them to meet strict criteria. Buyers needed to have a history with Ferrari’s Corse Clienti program, which supports private racing enthusiasts, and a portfolio of rare Ferrari models, including the LaFerrari. The FXX K was offered under a lease arrangement where Ferrari retained ownership, handling maintenance, transportation, and track-day organization. This system underscored Ferrari's commitment to ensuring the FXX K's exclusivity and performance integrity.
Among the select group of owners was Aaron Kwok, a Hong Kong-based superstar known for his passion for high-performance cars. Kwok’s FXX K arrived in 2016, with Ferrari Greater China’s then-CEO Matteo Torre personally overseeing the handover. Kwok has since participated in several Ferrari-hosted track days, sharing his excitement for the FXX K with fans and cementing his status as one of Asia’s most celebrated automotive collectors.
Other notable owners include Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who reportedly participated in Ferrari’s Corse Clienti events with the FXX K, showcasing his long-standing relationship with the brand. Furthermore, Formula 1 champions such as Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen have been spotted driving the FXX K during private Ferrari events, adding to the car’s allure among motorsport elites.
With only 40 units produced, the FXX K remains one of Ferrari’s rarest and most revered models. Its blend of cutting-edge hybrid technology, exclusivity, and connection to racing heritage makes it a centerpiece in any collection. The FXX K continues to inspire both awe and envy in the automotive world, standing as a testament to Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of innovation.
