Discover the 6 Fastest Ferrari Cars of All Time

From the prancing horse emblem to the unmistakable roar of their engines, Ferraris have long been synonymous with speed, luxury, and automotive excellence. For decades, the Italian marque has pushed the boundaries of engineering and design, creating some of the world’s most coveted supercars including the 550 Maranello, 458, F430, 488, and its successor – the F8 Spider. But among these legendary machines, a select few stand out for their sheer, face-melting velocity. These are the fastest Ferraris ever built – road-legal missiles capable of achieving speeds that seem to defy physics. Join us as we explore the cream of Maranello’s crop, where cutting-edge aerodynamics meet raw horsepower in a symphony of speed.

6 Fastest Ferrari Cars Ever Made

1. Ferrari FXX Evoluzione – Top Speed: 249 mph

Back in 2005, Ferrari made waves in the automotive world with the announcement of the FXX. This wasn’t just any car; it was the sexy, cool Enzo car on steroids, meant purely for tearing up racetracks. Talk about exclusive and certainly not a cheap Ferrari – they only made 30 of these bad boys!

But wait, there’s more! Just when we thought it couldn’t get any crazier, Ferrari said “Hold my espresso” and unleashed the FXX Evo. This wasn’t just an upgrade; it was like they took the FXX and cranked everything up to 11. Same V-12 heart, but now with enough horses under the hood to make a stable nervous.

Now, here’s where it gets really interesting. Remember the legendary Michael Schumacher? Well, he’s got the only black FXX Evo in existence. Talk about bragging rights!

Let me tell you, when Ferrari says they designed something with horsepower in mind, they’re not kidding around. The FXX Evoluzione is packing a 6.3L V12 that screams out 848 horsepower at a mind-boggling 9,500 RPM. That’s 59 more horses than the “standard” FXX – as if anything about these cars could be called standard! For historians, it was one of the fastest cars of its time.

You know how some cars purr? This thing roars. It’s got 506 lb-ft of torque at 5,750 RPM, all going to the rear wheels. I can only imagine the white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel when you floor it!

Speaking of flooring it, this beast will catapult you from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 2.4 seconds. Blink, and you’ve missed it! Thank goodness for the traction control and power steering – without them, I reckon driving this would be like trying to tame a wild stallion on roller skates.

And just when you think you’ve heard it all, here’s the kicker: Schumacher himself took this monster around the Dunsfold Aerodrome and absolutely demolished the previous record. We’re talking 6.6 seconds faster than the Gumpert Apollo. That’s not just breaking a record; that’s obliterating it!

Performance Specs:

Powertrain: 6.2L NA V12
Power: 848 horsepower
Torque: 509 pound-feet
Top Speed: 249 mph
0-60 = 2.5 seconds

2. Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution Edo Competition – Top Speed: 245 mph

The Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution Edo Competition isn’t your average supercar – it’s a beast that pushes the limits of what’s possible. But for Zahir Rana, its owner, the car’s wild nature got the best of him. Imagine this: you’re driving one of the world’s most powerful machines, and suddenly, you crash it into the sea. Yes, the sea.

Most of us would probably call that a total loss and mourn our car for weeks. But not Zahir. Instead of giving up, he had it shipped to Germany, where the Edo Competition worked their magic. It wasn’t just about cleaning off the saltwater and replacing the damaged parts – that was just the beginning.

While they were at it, Zahir figured, “Why not take it to the next level?” So he asked Edo to crank up the performance and make the car look even more stunning. The result? The Ferrari Enzo ZXX Evolution – a name that blends the track-exclusive Ferrari FXX, which inspired its exterior mods, with Zahir’s own name. Talk about personalization to create one of the most expensive supercars!

Under the hood, Edo upgraded the 6.5-liter V12 engine, pushing it to an insane 950 horsepower and raising the rev limit to a heart-pounding 10,000 rpm. And it didn’t stop there – the interior was completely redone, custom-made to fit Zahir’s vision and those brand-new Edo ZXX rims? Absolute perfection.

After a year and a half of this Cinderella story (minus the glass slipper, plus a whole lot of horsepower), Zahir’s baby made its triumphant return to Calgary. I can just imagine him, grinning from ear to ear, probably thinking, “Who needs a boring old regular Enzo anyway?”

Performance Specs:

Powertrain: 6.2L NA V12
Power: 950 horsepower
Torque: 575 pound-feet
Top Speed: 245 mph
0-60 = 3.0 seconds

3. Ferrari Enzo XX Evolution Edo Competition – Top Speed: 242 mph

The Ferrari FXX Evolution is like the Batmobile of track cars. But here’s the kicker – Ferrari’s acting like an overprotective parent, keeping these beauties locked up at the circuit. Can you believe it? You fork over a cool $2.5 million to join their fancy club, and you can’t even bring the darn thing home to make your neighbors jealous. Talk about a first-world problem, right?

But hold onto your hats, folks, because there’s a rebel in town. Enter Edo Karabegovic, the mad scientist of the car world. This guy looked at a regular Enzo (as if any Enzo could be called “regular”) and thought, “Nah, not extreme enough.” So what did he do? He rolled up his sleeves and built his own souped-up version. Madness? Genius? You decide.

Meet the Edo Competition Enzo XX Evolution. It sits there, gleaming inside his shop in Ahlen, Germany, a true masterpiece in a striking yellow finish – not the color you’re used to seeing on an Enzo, but it somehow makes the car even more special. This isn’t just any car, though. It belongs to Canadian importer ZR Auto, and what Edo has done is push this Enzo to the absolute limit. In fact, this thing is the fastest road-going Ferrari in the world, hitting over 240 mph when properly timed. And, if you believe Edo’s late-night Autobahn adventures, it might actually be even faster than that!

With 840 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque, this Enzo XX Evolution is a beast. Edo also threw in a custom-designed triple-plate clutch, which he proudly says can handle full-throttle starts all day long without breaking a sweat. Need to know the numbers? This beauty blasts from 0 to 60 mph in just 3 seconds. Want more? It hits 125 mph in 9 seconds and 185 mph in a mind-bending 19 seconds—assuming, of course, you have a dry road and the nerve to hold on tight.

Performance Specs:

Powertrain: 6.3L NA V12
Power: 840 horsepower
Torque: 527 pound-feet
Top Speed: 242 mph
0-60 = 3.2 seconds

4. Ferrari F50 GT – Top Speed: 235 mph

The F50 GT was born for one purpose and one purpose only: to take down the mighty McLaren F1 GTR that had been dominating the track.

Ferrari didn’t hold back when they got their hands on the already beastly F50. They supercharged that sucker, shaved off half a ton, threw in a slick six-speed sequential gearbox, and slapped on some monster tires to keep all that power glued to the pavement.

Now, this most popular Ferrari may have looked a lot like its road-going sibling on the outside, but under the hood, it was a whole different animal. That sculpted bodywork? It was all about pure, unadulterated function, baby. Gone was the fancy integrated rear wing – in its place, a mean, no-nonsense motorsport-style “bench” wing that meant business.

And let’s talk about that engine, shall we? The engineers at Maranello took the already impressive 4.7-liter V12 from the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula 1 car and worked their magic. When they were done, that baby was pumping out a jaw-dropping 739 horsepower and revving all the way up to 11,000 rpm! Paired with that beefed-up six-speed manual, this thing had the power to rip your face off.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “But how fast can it go?” Well, my friends, the F50 GT was no slouch. The top speed of Ferrari is 235 mph and the kind of grip and handling that would make an F1 driver blush. This thing hugged the track like a koala hugs a tree.

And the best part? Only three of these bad boys were ever completed and sold to a select few lucky (and very wealthy) individuals. Yep, this is one of the rarest Ferraris and one of the most expensive old Ferraris right now. So if you ever spot one in the wild, you’d better have your camera ready, because it’s a sight that’ll leave even the most jaded enthusiast with their jaw on the floor.

Performance Specs:

Powertrain: 4.7L NA V12
Power: 739 horsepower
Torque: 390 pound-feet
Top Speed: 235 mph
0-60 = 2.9 seconds

5. Ferrari FXX – Top Speed: 230 mph

The Ferrari FXX showed up in 2005, and let me tell you—it wasn’t just a regular release. This car was part of an exclusive program, giving people a chance to drive it on specific Ferrari-approved tracks, which is wild when you think about it. The engine? That came straight outta the Enzo. But they cranked it up from 5,988 cc to a solid 6,262 cc. Power jumped too—from 660 PS to a hefty 800 PS, all roaring at 8,500 rpm.

Now, the gearbox? Ferrari didn’t mess around. They used their F1 tech, so shifting gears happens crazy fast—like under 100 milliseconds. They kept the ceramic composite brakes from the Enzo, too. And those 19-inch slicks? Custom-made, of course.

The FXX is loaded with telemetry that helps the driver level up their skills and feeds Ferrari tons of info to fine-tune future cars. They only made 30 of these beasts, handing one to Michael Schumacher when he retired in 2006.

Performance Specs:

Powertrain: 6.2L V12
Power: 800 horsepower
Torque: 686 Nm
Top Speed: 230 mph
0-60 = 2.6 seconds

6. Ferrari F40 Competizione – Top Speed: 228 mph

The stock F40, as it came (1,370 units produced), just wasn’t cutting it for serious racing, so Ferrari had to step it up. They dropped the F40 Competizione in ’89, built specifically for competing in events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Race teams were all over Ferrari after catching sight of the upgraded model. Ferrari ended up making only 10 of these beasts, so yeah, it’s one of the rarest Ferraris out there. Fast and wild, as well. Ferrari claims it could hit 228 miles an hour on the track.

Now, it’s got this 2.9-liter V8 engine, right? That thing’s cranking out 691 horsepower, thanks to twin turbos. Back when it rolled out, carbon fiber wasn’t everywhere like it is today, so Ferrari went with steel and some composite materials for the frame. The tech might seem a bit old-school now, but still, the whole car weighed just a bit more than 2,292 pounds when full of gas. Light, for what it was packing!
