Instantly becoming the most desirable automobile on sale from the
moment it was introduced in 2002, the Enzo put competitors like
Porsche and Lamborghini on notice, showing that Ferrari was still
king when it came to hypercars. Using the best possible technology
derived directly from the company's highly successful Formula One
program, the Enzo brought race car performance to a platform
suitable for use on the road by the privileged few. Its performance
was truly sensational, and it could sprint from a standstill to 100
km/h in 3.6 seconds, leading onwards to a top speed of 350
km/h.
Any Enzo is a rare and desirable car, but this particular example
certainly stands out from the pack. While the majority of Enzos
were painted in traditional Rosso Corsa, some cars were painted
other colours, most notably Nero and Giallo Modena, and a handful
of cars were painted Argento and Blu Pozzi as well. However, it is
believed that this car is the only example to sport Rosso F1 2007
paintwork. Originally delivered new finished in Rosso Corsa over a
black leather interior, the car was shipped back to Carrozzeria
Zanasi, just around the corner from the Ferrari factory in
Maranello, and fully stripped and repainted in this brilliant
shade. In recent years, Carrozzeria Zanasi has been tasked with
applying out of range colours to new Ferraris, and as such, there
could be no better place to have the car repainted.
Some other cosmetic modifications have been undertaken to enhance
this Enzo's s overall visual appeal. The original wheels were
painted black with a matching red rim, the taillights were slightly
tinted and racing harnesses in Rosso have been fitted to both the
driver and passenger seat. Presenting in excellent condition
throughout, the car has been driven just under 8,400 km from
new.
Ferrari's last limited-edition, mid-engined hypercar graced with a
naturally aspirated V-12, the Enzo got Ferrari off to an excellent
start in the 21st century and quickly became the gold standard of
which all other hypercars would be measured against in the early
2000s. Offering the best available Formula One technology at the
time rolled into a road-going package, the Enzo is truly a blast to
drive and enjoy, and a car that can still keep up with many
high-performance sports cars being produced today. Refinished in
Rosso F1 2007 by Zanasi, this is truly a unique example to purchase
an Enzo that stands out from the pack for all the right reasons.To
