FERRARI ENZO (2002 - 2004) 446 EXAMPLES PRODUCED

-

It’s hard not to be enamoured by Ferrari. Ask any layman what their idea of a supercar is, and chances are they will describe a red, or a Rosso Corsa, Ferrari to you. When a brand is so synonymous with fast cars, and has such a rich history of making them, it needs to deliver a agship halo product every few years to set a new benchmark for the industry. In 2002, that benchmark came in the form of the Ferrari Enzo. Named a er the prestigiou­s brand’s founder, the Enzo was a testament to Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of dominating the racing world, drawing inspiratio­n from Formula 1, and debuting cutting-edge track-derived technology. At its heart, the Enzo was a Formula 1 car for the road, and it is what makes it so special till date. It was powered by a lightweigh­t V12 engine, a product of Ferrari’s racing expertise, delivering an extraordin­ary 660 horsepower and 485 lb- of torque. e 6.0-litre powerhouse, coupled with an F1 six-speed automated manual gearbox, propelled the supercar from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 3.1 seconds. e Enzo also pioneered and introduced innovation­s such as carboncera­mic disc brakes, a standard fare in supercars of today, that allowed it to be driven more aggressive­ly around a track without su ering from brake fade. With a limited production of 349 units initially, Ferrari’s exclusive clientele swi ly claimed all Enzos before production even began. e Italian marque later extended the production to 400 units, although it is believed the uno cial number of cars produced is closer to 446, cementing the Enzo’s status as a coveted collector’s gem.
