Brand: Hotwheel Elite
Scale: 1/18

Ferrari has built 30, originally 29 of these cars, and they have all been sold to preselected past Ferrari customers, except for one that Ferrari S.p.A. kept, including Ferrari's F1 World Champion driver, Micheal Schumacher, the 30th.
Schumacher's FXX differs from others in that it is the only black FXX without a stripe and comes with red trim on the wheels, matte exhaust tips (regular FXX's have chrome tips) these few customers will not only own a Ferrari FXX, but also participate in further testing and brand development.
Hotwheel has produced a rare limited edition 1/18 Elite replica of Michael Schumacher's Ferrari FXX with the Micheal Schumacher figure in it driving the car. It was so rare that only 333 of it are made worlwide.
Sources said that this particular model are actually not for sell and nearly impossible to find any information about it through the internet. It was made as a souvenier for VIPs (hardcore Ferrari's owner) invited during the launching of the actual Micheal Schumacher FXX.
Yupz...260 of up to 333 in the world made and as far as I know there are only 2 of this limited edition model avaiable in Brunei. Hehehe...I'm the lucky one to have one of it.
Essentially an evolution of the Enzo, the FXX shares some components with its parent car, but significant portions are exclusive to the FXX.

The car uses some technology developed from the Enzo and combines it with some all-new developments from Ferrari and some of the suppliers.
However, the car is only a part of the overall program: customers pay £1.3 million ($2.5 million USD) but are only allowed to drive the car on special track days approved by Ferrari and after they drive the car they have to brief Ferrari on the car's performance.

The FXX's engine is based on the Enzo's but has been expanded to 6.3 L (6262 cc) from 6 L (5988 cc)...
...and output has been boosted from 660 PS (651 hp/485.4 kW), as seen in the Enzo, to 812 PS (800.9 hp/597.2 kW) at 8,500 rpm.
The unique feature avaiable for this model is that it have the Micheal Schumacher figure in it driving the car.
This feature is not avaiable in other Micheal Schumacher FXX that being made commercially in the market.
Most Micheal Schumacher FXX are made without the Micheal Schumacher figure in it.

Micheal Schumacher was given the last one (number 30) when he retired from F1 racing at the end of 2006.
