Default Ferrari Super Enzo



Look! Up on Fiorano! It's Super Enzo!

MAC MORRISON
Posted Date: 5/10/05

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

I'm thinking it's a test mule for the next Ferrari supercar.
