Performance:

The Ferrari has used the F140 engine in more than 10 cars. And the renowned ones are the FXX-K, the 812 Superfast, and the GTC4Lusso. Well, the FXX-K Evo even uses the same engine in its drivetrain. But she is among those Ferraris that are utilizing the hybrid powertrain. The Evo gets the same 6.3 L V12 engine that is installed in the parent edition of this series.

Besides the F140 V12 engine, the FXX-K Evo gets the Kinetic Engine Recovery System (KERS). This is the hybrid tech that this car is utilizing as the power substitute. The definition of the hybrid technology in supercars is a lot different than the conventional daily rides. These are not meant for saving fuel or putting up with the budget-cutting mileage. But these are the performance increasing systems. The KERS adds up to 187 hp of power to the complete system.

Not to forget, the power rating of the Ferrari FXX-K Evo is totally 1036 hp of power with 664 lb-ft of torque.

Well, the KERS is the Formula 1 experiment. In the FXX-K Evo, it is taking care of almost every important department of the performance. Like the handling in Evo is quite agile because of the electrical thump it gets from the KERS. Then the PCU and the MGU flow the mechanism of boosting the torque routes. And the brakes get a manager to control their behavior. That is how the Evo gets the electronic brake force distribution. Well, the engine is the priority of the KERS.

As like the elder FXX-K, the Evo even comes mated with the 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with paddle-shifts. And we do not have any issue with that.

But when we went in we learned that there is a pretty cool improvement in the design. Although the cosmetics are quite same. While the aerodynamics have decently increased.

The Evo is sharper than the standard FXX-K. The performance might not tell that. But the wind tunnel can actually elaborate that how easy is to handle the Evo.

But the best thing we got here is the Formula 1 design steering wheel. It is an ergonomic steering wheel with the KERS control and the transmission paddles. You would not feel stiff while shifting or composing the KERS.

And that is the only difference you can get here.
