By far this is my new favorite car...

Some of you may have seen this already, but I just discovered it the other day.

This is Michael Schumacher driving his Ferrari FXX as the stig on Top Gear; and I've read that his is the only black FXX in existence.
He beat every single other cars lap time by ~6.5 seconds...insane

Yeah but to be fair the FXX he was driving was on slicks. Still I would expect the FXX to be the fastest car on Top Gear's track ever.

I saw them in action in person at Homestead in 2007 when I crewed for FoW. It sounds incredible and was visibly faster than everything else on the track that weekend except for the ex-Ferrari F1 cars. It actually sounds sort of F1-ish with it's high-pitched scream.

One can only imagine how badass the next Ferrari ubercar is given the FXX.
