Made up of sandwich panels of composite material and aluminum honeycomb, the Enzo is Ferrari's stiffest road car ever. Its doors swing forward and upwards for relatively easy entry. Such tight construction is necessary to bridle the otherwise overwhelming 6.0-L V12. The 650-hp brute is capable of launching the 1,361 kg (3,000 lb) missile to 100 km/h in a scant 3.7 seconds, with the standing quarter mile arriving in 11.0 seconds and its 350 km/h (218 mph) top speed only limited to the drag of its 585 kg (1290 lb) downforce (slightly less than at 300 km/h). With four belt driven cams, variable inlet and exhaust valve timing, a single coil per spark plug connected to a drive-by-wire throttle at one end and a double dose of Bosch Motronic ME7.0 ECUs at the other. A full 485 lb-ft of torque is available as low as 5,500 rpm, which is low considering the V12's 8,200 rpm limit.
The 6-speed paddle actuated automatic shifting manual (or F1 transmission in Ferrari-speak) shifts in a mere 0.15 seconds - much faster than humanly possible. The rapid rate of acceleration brings to question the cars ability to slow down as quickly. Brembo has supplied 378 mm (14.9 in) carbon-ceramic rotors that produce consistent at-limit braking without fade.
But take a seat as you might fade at the top-Ferrari's estimated asking price of over $1,000,000 ($650,000 U.S.). No worries though, even if you wanted it you'd be too late. Sources say that each and every one of the 349 examples planned is spoken for.
