I couldn't be bothered to list the names out earlier as I was busy doing something else. Yes the number of units for the Ferrari Enzo was only 399, BUT no-one said how many units of the FXX. 2nd point I would like to clarify: I only said same category as the Ferrari Enzo trackcar (FXX) and Maserati MC12 Corsa in which I meant track spec. I did not say same performance, power, handling, class, division or grade. Once again, please do your research before trying to belittle me. 1st point I would like to clarify

Although this BMW might be of the same type with the FXX and MC12 Corsa, it's not in the same league, not even close. PTAllTheBest:

All three can be bought by customers but can only be used on track. Ride height and miscellaneous parts such as cat-converters and many more are no longer road legal.

This is a serious shot in the arm for "racing" heritage much like the original 2002, and the M3s. BMW has always had customer racing kits for cars or special homologated specials.

You dont have to worry about speed bumps in a race track ;) Also, in case you didn't notice, the track of the car is widened, and the wheel arches are modified, looks like they are at least 3 times wider than on the road car.
