Named after the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, the Ferrari Enzo supercar is a 12-cylinder, mid-engine Italian nightmare on wheels. Only 400 copies were made between 2002 and 2004, making it an extremely rare, but oh-so-amazing, acquisition.
Top speed is limited to 217 mph while a 0-60 dash takes 3.5 seconds.
The Enzo Ferrari is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It was built in 2002 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style electrohydraulic shift transmission, and Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC)ceramic composite disc brakes.

Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After adownforce of 7600N(1700lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce.



The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company Maserati'sQuattroporte, using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 is the second Ferrari to get a version of this new powerplant.
