Updated Ferrari 599XX Evolution Comes with More Power and Less Weight
type='html'>
We're not even half way through the press days of the Tokyo Motor Show, yet we already have news from the next event in our automotive calendar, the 36th edition of the Bologna Motor Show in Italy (December 3 to 11) which will provide the venue for the unveiling of the updated 2012 Ferrari 599XX Evolution.
The 599XX is track beast for a select few über rich of our world that was introduced at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show as replacement for the Enzo-based FXX.
The updated model features a number of technical improvements including an even more potent version of the Enzo-sourced V12 engine due to the adoption of side exhausts that allowed engineers to increase output to 750-horses at 9,000 rpm with a peak torque of 700Nm (516.3 lb-ft). In addition, Ferrari made the final gear ratio shorter to improve acceleration on technical, medium- to high-speed tracks.
The Italian company says that the non-homologated sports berlinetta also sports improved chassis dynamics thanks to an active aerodynamic package integrated with the vehicles’ electronic control systems.
The highlight of the aero package is an active rear wing design with two flaps that rotate electronically to adjust the downforce between the front and rear axles in relation to vehicle speed and the maneuver. According to Ferrari, the active rear wing is triggered automatically according to specific parameters which are integrated with the car’s other control functions (ESP, ABS, SCM and F1-Trac).
The 2012 599XX also gets a modified front splitter and a new rear diffuser featuring a larger surface area and redesigned fences and foot-plates. As a result of these changes, total downforce at 200 km/h (124mph) is boosted to 330 kg (727 pounds) when the flaps are open and 440kg (970 pounds) in the closed configuration.
Finally, the ultimate version of the 599 series gets a new set of Pirelli tires while Ferrari claims to have trimmed 35kg (77 lbs) off the original model.
According to the Italian automaker, the 599XX Evolution laps the Fiorano in just 1 minute and 15 seconds.

New Jaguar XKR-S Convertible and Updated Land Rover DC100 Concepts to Debut at L.A. Show
type='html'>
Visitors attending next week's 2011 Los Angeles International Automobile Show (November 16 to 28) will have the opportunity to witness the latest offerings from Jaguar and Land Rover, one of which will make its world premiere.
The new XKR-S Convertible is the model that will make its first-ever public outing – at least in production form, as we’ve already scooped prototypes doing the rounds at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
The 550HP open top model will feature the same styling tweaks, suspension and performance modifications as the XKR-S coupe that was launched last March at the Geneva Motor Show.
Among other changes are a new front end featuring a redesigned bumper with side winglets and a vented hood. The XKR-S Convertible will also sport new alloy wheels, side skirts, an anything-but-subtle rear wing, rear diffuser and four tailpipes
This convertible is not all show and no go; on the contrary, the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 pumps out 550HP and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) offering a not-too-shabby 4.2-second 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time in the coupe.
Since power is almost useless without control, Jaguar’s engineers have also retuned and lowered the suspension and have fitted high-performance brakes.
Land Rover’s main attraction will be the Defender-previewing DC100 concept that premiered at the IAA and, as reported, will cross the Atlantic in a slightly changed form.
Land Rover says it decided to alter the DC100 after receiving feedback from visitors at the Frankfurt show.
According to the company, the L.A. show version will get a “Heritage Blue” body color and new wheels and tires, which according to the company, are optimized for off-road driving, emphasizing the model’s rugged character and 4x4 capabilities.
"Jaguar Land Rover is proud to be demonstrating for the U.S. market the latest design and technology advancements we have made with both brands”, said JLR CEO Dr. Ralf Speth. “Our presence here reflects the fact that the U.S. is an important market for our global growth plans, and Southern California is a key region from a business and a global trends perspective."
Apart from the aforementioned models, Jaguar will also display its C-X16 hybrid sports car concept that debuted in Frankfurt and is billed both as a modern-day E-Type and a Porsche Cayman / 911 rival.
