The Fxx wins the Eyeson Design Award
Maranello, 13th January 2006 - The Ferrari FXX won the Eyeson
Design Award as the best example of functional design at the
Motorshow of Detroit. Seventeen of the most renowned international
designers, including Chris Bangle from BMW, William Davindson,
head of styling at Harley-Davidson and Shiro Nakamura, from
Nissan, sat on the panel. The judges awarded the prize as
the FXX was the car that best "expresses the functionality
of design as an instrument to reach the objectives for which
the vehicle was developed". The FXX is a prototype destined
to only 29 of the most loyal and passionate Ferrari clients.
The project is part of a special collaborative technical programme
between these clients and the Prancing Horse. The model is
the most advanced granturismo produced at Maranello and is
exclusively aimed at use on the track. It will form a crucial
part of the ongoing research and development programme set
up with this innovative group of 'client-test drivers'. The
car is not homologated for use on the road and is not expected
to compete in races.
