Ferrari Enzo
Of all of the nameplates, none have occupied as many subconscious minds as Ferrari. It is as if their red is just a bit redder, the chrome one step brighter. There is something sexual about a Ferrari, while driven mainly by men, the auto possess a feminine quality. It is just too beautiful not to conjure up images of woman. Men just aren’t that pretty.
Ferrari Enzo 
The Ferrari Enzo, is the top-of-the-line offering from the over the top company that is Ferrari. This is a limited production, $1,000,000.00 state of the art driving machine. For those of us who are not CEOs of fortune 500 companies, one would think the Million-dollar price tag would be sufficient to limit production, in truth there is a waiting list for them.
The Enzo is simply the closest any car company has ever come to putting a Formula 1 racecar onto city streets. The car is powered by a V12 660 bhp engine, which redlines at 8,200rpm. This power plant is coupled with a 6 speed gearbox and then set into a 3,000 pound car. With more than 4 ½ horsepower per pound, it is little wonder the Enzo is capable of 0-62 mph in just 3.65 seconds and a top speed of 225 mph. At this price-point, buyers can afford to be a bit “Picky;” so the Ferrari factory invites buyers to have the cockpit of their car tailored to their specific needs. In addition to color there is a choice of four width fittings for both the cushion and backrest of the leather trimmed multi-adjustable Sparco seats. The cabin can literally be built to fit your body like a tailor made suit.
Considering all of the care and expense that goes into creating on a these beauties, it is little wonder that so many Ferrari lovers were so upset when a drunk Mr. Erikssen, a 44 year old former executive of Gizmondo, totaled A 2003 Ferrari Enzo crashed at 6:08 AM on February 21, 2006 in Malibu In a testament to the structural integrity of the carhe walked away from this 130 mph wreck with one small scratch.
What a waste.
