Talking Ferrari 599XX road-derived track car breaks 7min 'Ring time

The new Ferrari 599XX does a full lap of the 'Ring in 6min 58.16 seconds !!! Fastest ever time for a production-derived sports car. It's almost 30 seconds quicker than a Ferrari Enzo !!!

Makes the ACR Viper look slow BUT I thought to be officially ranked on the production car list, it had to be road legal?

yup, that's why Ferrari is saying it is the fastest production-derived car
the 599XX is not road legal, and second maybe even more important it had slicks mounted, so it should not be compared to times normally driven with street tires.
still a blast to look at (and hear)

Its an awesome car, awesome awesome car.

Ferraris claim of a production dirived car is cock. The SR8 is a production car and is 30 secs faster.
