German tuner DMC has been responsible for creating some of the most mental aftermarket programs we’ve seen in the past few years.
But the render it did for the Ferrari LaFerrari
just took the insanity to a whole new level. There are some programs
that certainly fits this definition, but none of them were done on the
LaFerrari, the Prancing Horse’s crown jewel supercar that the company
has described as its fastest and most powerful supercar it has ever
built.
In accomplishing this rendering, DMC said that it combined elements from the Ferrari GTO , the XX, and the FXX into one package without compromising the LaFerrari’s own DNA.
The result is the LaFerrari FXXR, a heavily-modified take on the LaFerrari that’s just too mean for words.
DMC
made no mention of mechanical mods, with exception of a race-inspired
exhaust, so we assume this LaFerrari retains the hybrid system that
combines a 6.3-liter, V-12 engine with two electric motors. The exhaust
system may drive the LaFerrari up a little rfom the stock 963 horsepower
and more than 663 pound-feet of torque.
There’s no word on
whether DMC is going to go ahead and build this program, but for just
sheer lunacy, we’re hoping and praying that the tuning company goes
ahead with this.
The world needs it, fellas.

At
the rear, the massive clear carbon-fiber rear wing is hard to ignore.
The red taillights are gone, too, replaced by smoked, black-finished
units while the exhaust system doesn’t have the chrome tips anymore. In
their place, DMC opted for four matte black variants.
Press Release
Notice
that DMC took the liberty of putting in aerodynamic components that not
only added to the visual appeal of the supercar, but also enhanced its
performance and handling capabilities. Up front, the vertical center fin
in the bumper and the lower horizontal fin are now gone. In their
place, DMC installed a pair of carbon-fiber air intakes angled into a
V-shape, a tactic it used to extend the line of the large central air
vent on the front hood and make it more aesthetically profound.
Improving
downforce was also an important aspect of the FXXR, and DMC
accomplished this by adding clear carbon-fiber canards on the corners of
the front bumper. Those are joined by a smaller air intake that can be
found in the center of the bumper, flanked by more intakes next to
headlights.

This
new setup also has outer intakes inside the large bumper that have been
angled differently, allowing more air to come into the car. Handling
was also an important quality that DMC paid attention to. Vertical fins
on the side of the front bumper helps keep the supercar stabilized at
high speeds. There’s also an additional air intake in the sides that
allows the brake discs to continuously be kept cooled down.
Rear View
Back
in the Sixties you had the beautiful 250 GTO … one was recently sold
for $52,000,000 in fact, after that several more ‘specials’ have left
the factory doors at Maranello like the 288 GTO, the F40 which also had a
lightweight LM edition. Later on the Enzo was turned into the FXX track
day car while the 599 GTO evolved into the 599 XX for track use … and
then the F70 comes along … called the LaFerrari by the factory,
featuring a very innovative design … and upward opening doors tilting
forward … remember the McLaren F1 doors?
So how do you improve
perfection … easy, you take the Ferrari pedigree of GTO, XX and FXX and
translate that onto a bright red LaFerrari … and you end up with a
LaFerrari FXXR by DMC, without changing the basic DNA of the car DMC
managed to make this Ferrari look a lot more aggressive compared to
factory specs while retaining the animal like beauty found on the
original.
Up front the color coded vertical center fin in the
bumper is gone, so is the lower, horizontal fin in the same color … in
come two carbon fiber air intakes angled at a V-shape that extends the
line of the large central air vent on the front hood … right in the
middle of the lower section the Prancing Horse proudly finds its home.
The outer intakes inside this large bumper are angled differently to
draw even more air in, naturally the side of the front bumper now
features vertical fins to stabilize the LaFerrari FXXR at high speed
while an additional intake carved in the sides of this unit help to keep
the disc brakes cooled down.
The corners of the front bumper
receive clear carbon fiber ‘canards’ that increase down force at speed
while a smaller air intake is sculpted right in the center of the
bumper, joining additional intakes next to the headlights, which remain
standard to avoid certification issues keeping this car street legal …
if that would be a pre-requisite.
Next to the stylish headlights
that run high into the fenders we also have extra vents … you can never
have enough cooling on a car like the LaFerrari FXXR by DMC, that is why
just in front of the windshield two more intakes are perfectly molded
into the hood … which on this car receives black details to get that
really mean look when the car pulls up behind you on the highway … I
guess one flash of the high beams will be enough to get those slower
cars in front of you to move over in fear … increasing the heart rate of
the driver you are bound to pass stupendously fast … with a thundering
sound being emitted from the race inspired exhaust…
