Ferrari’s whirlwind summer is still booming – with more global activities and launches than ever before this year.
The IPO of Ferrari could come any day this Fall. We’ll have around a week’s notice, per NYSE schedules.
The media site is full of gorgeous snapshots into the fast life of Ferrari owners lately — including the week-long International Cavalcade, visit to the Green Hell, and even a special birthday gift: an FXX K in Giallo Modena for an American buyer.
She started hitting Fiorano hard right after the presentation ceremony — achieving a 1-min, 20-second lap that is close to the car’s max pace in expert hands.

Happy birthday, Christine
Google executive Benjamin Sloss presents his wife with a stunning FXX K
Maranello, 28 August 2015 – Since he bought the 599 XX auctioned to raise funds in the wake of the Emilia earthquake disaster in 2012, we’ve all known that Benjamin Sloss is a very generous guy. But now he’s proved his big-heartedness once again by presenting his wife, Christine, with a truly unique birthday gift.
Ben told Christine he would be bringing her to Fiorano to do a little lapping in their 599 XX as a birthday treat. And he did just that. But that was far from all he had planned.
In fact, when they arrived at the track, Christine found a beautiful FXX K, clothed, like all their Ferraris in a yellow livery, waiting for her. Naturally enough Christine, who is also a real petrolhead and fine GT driver, lost no time in getting into her racing suit and putting her latest acquisition through its paces on the track.
Christine found the FXX K incredibly communicative, responsive, and confidence inspiring, and extraordinarily fast. After just a few laps she was running 1’20”, with a passenger on board, very close to the Fiorano FXX K lap record!
