Ferrari raised eyebrows in Maranello by running this modified Enzo supercar around the company’s Fiorano test track. Additional front air intakes, a heavily revised rear end and relocated exhaust outlets distinguish the car from the version Ferrari ceased building in 2004.
Speculation—based in part on the revised rear end and the flames seen licking from the exhaust during testing—suggests a car with an engine more powerful and larger than the original’s 6.0-liter, 660-hp V12, possibly a 6.5- or 6.8-liter V12.
Does this indicate Ferrari may assemble more Enzos in addition to the produced tally of 399? Don’t count on it, says our Ferrari insider, who tells us the car is merely part of Ferrari’s standard technology development program and is from the original batch of production Enzos.

man as if the original enzo wasn't fast enough
but it would be interesting if they are producing even more enzo, even if it's going to be even more limited

from the position of the exhaust, I believe it's being prepared as a race only model

What is the point of all these horsepower increases? 600hp, 1000hp, what is the difference?

You mean in price ? ;) I' v e seen 2 tests for the trio, I think they generally regard the Carrera GT as the Enzo's equal & the SLR not far behind.
My pick : Carrera GT > Enzo >>> SLR

Like others have said the CGT and from Sweden the Koenigsegg.
There are a couple of others too.
Pagini Zonda is making a faster, more focused car too.
The upcomming bugatti.

we can both forget about the slr i guess :D
and yeah the gt and the enzo are close, but i thought the enzo came up on top?
anyway, to be fair, i am using the gt as my wallpaper :)
