The Enzo was Ferrari’s flagship supercar of the early 2000s, choosing up exactly where the F40 and F50 still left off. It highlighted a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and paddle-shifted 6-speed transmission—both of which have been relatively novel in supercars at the time.

A in a natural way aspirated 6.-liter V-12 generates 650 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque, with generate heading to the rear wheels only. The mid-mounted engine receives the Enzo from -62 mph in 3.6 seconds, and on to a top rated speed of 217 mph. These quantities seem to be less outstanding in comparison to present-day supercars, but the Enzo was amid the quickest creation cars and trucks of its period.

The Enzo’s monocoque and engine ended up also employed for the Maserati MC12, albeit with intensive modifications to make the MC12 acceptable for racing. Ferrari also generated a track-only Enzo derivative—the FXX.

Ferrari sooner or later introduced an Enzo successor in the type of the LaFerrari, which has develop into a collectible in its possess right. And it truly is just about time for Ferrari to start an additional flagship supercar. Ferrari tends to launch these every 10 decades, and it is really been about a decade considering the fact that the LaFerrari debuted. We’ve even noticed a possible LaFerrari successor out screening.
