What are those vents for? I have a few ideas, but looking for real info.

Only change I dislike on the Evoluzione (if that is possible) is it looks like they got rid of the rear view camera.

Amazing car that people can only dream of. The only people I'd heard had one were Schumacher and Roger Penske. I wonder who might have gotten the other 27 of them?

Only thing I could find on it. Seems like they're air ducts from underneath the car that channel upwards? Not sure though.

That's what I was guessing. On the 599XX they have fans that pull air from underneeth the car and push it out through the tail lights:

That is a car of the gods. You can't even own it. You pay for the privilege to drive it! That, my friends, is the definition of a real car.

So if it was sold to a new owner, do all the Ferrari rules still apply? Article didn't really say. I would assume not since it's being driven on a public road.

It can't be sold to a new owner. Ferrari owns them.

If you'll take note of what the license plate reads, you'll notice that it probably isn't driving on a public road.

After looking at the pictures some more, I was wrong about this. The camera/screen are still there, just couldn't see them from the angle in a lot of pictures.

...you aren't familiar with the FXX program, are you?

If you watch the video on the bottom of the page there is a PT cruiser rolling by. It also -looks- a lot like a public road.

All he had to say about the FXX was how ***** to the wall it was, and that the car sounded like no other car he had ever come across or ever will. Shooting a million dollar car is definitely an experience. It sold for a low price of $1.9 million dollars to some lucky schmuck with lots of money.
So did the owner just purchase the right to drive the car? If so why was it sold at auction rather than just by Ferrari? Perhaps it was sold through RM Auction for Ferrari?

Taken from the same article you claim to have read:

but you are only allowed to race (not drive, but race) the FXX at a Ferrari approved event under tight supervision from big brother himself.
f you ever wanted to see and hear what a $2 million dollar Ferrari banned from the streets sounds like on
And once again, you'll notice that there is no license plate, nor is there a place to mount one.
