Ferrari Enzo:

One of the world's top sports car manufacturers is Ferrari, whose symbol of a black prancing horse on a yellow shield-shaped background is perhaps one of the most easily recognizable car logos in the world. Based in Maranello, Italy, this Italian sports car manufacturer is responsible for the existence of some of the most powerful and at the same time most elegant sports cars the world has ever seen.

Every single Ferrari ever manufactured, from the 250 GTO to the 206/246 Dino, is a feat of engineering and design. One such Ferrari is the Enzo Ferrari Super car, which was named one of the top sports cars of the new millennium by Sports Car International magazine in 2004. Named in honor of Enzo Ferrari, who founded the company in 1929, the Enzo Ferrari super car is indeed super in many respects. It is really impressive road going super car, sending shivers down the back just to hear its name. Total of 399 "Enzo" models have been released priced at about 650,000 US Dollars.

Built in 2003, the Enzo Ferrari super car was designed using Formula One technology. Its body is made of carbon-fiber, its brake discs are carbon-ceramic, and it has an F1-style sequential shift transmission. It has 6.0-liter, 660-horsepower V-12 engine, the first Ferrari motor to have continuously variable exhaust valve timing. The Enzo engine has four valves per cylinder and a variable-length induction system.

As befitting the "supercar" tag, the Enzo Ferrari boasts of extremely quick acceleration. The Enzo Ferrari is capable of reaching 62.5 mph in 3.30 seconds and can accelerate to 100 mph in 6.60 seconds. This particular breed of Ferrari can also complete the quarter mile from a stop in approximately 11.1 seconds at 133 mph. Its estimated top speed of 217 mph is further proof of its Formula 1 heritage. So unless you are an active driver in the Formula 1 circuit, there is no way you can hit the top speed on a regular road and get away with it. There is no control-gear - gear changes behind the steering wheel with your finger-ends. The time between gear changes is equal to 150 milliseconds, it takes the bun! The "Enzo" engine begins to roar by pushing a red button named "Start". Then there are red light emitting diodes installed into the upside part of a steering wheel on purpose to track the engine revs. The button "Race" among all the other buttons located on the steering wheel looks challenging and sort of requesting "Press me!". Sport seating, stunning interior, 400 km/h speedometer and a graphic screen makes Ferrari visitor to do a test-drive no matter what. The cabin contains no unnecessary stuff and every detail is perfectly positioned. Extraordinary aerodynamic curves look absolutely astonishing.

So far, the Enzo has proven to be stable when cornering. Its powerful engine, however, sometimes makes the car a bit difficult to control. Fortunately, it has rack-and-pinion power steering, pushrod actuated coil-shock units, a four-wheel independent suspension stabilized by front and rear anti-roll bars, and four Bridgestone Scuderia tires, which have been designed and tuned specifically for the Enzo Ferrari super car.

So far, Ferrari has only produced 400 of these super cars, and only a select few have managed to acquire one. As a matter of fact, just being able to afford its US$643,330 price tag is not enough to get your hands on one. Prospective owners still have to send applications to Ferrari for the privilege of purchasing one of these super cars.

A number of famous people are or have been proud owners of an Enzo Ferarri super car, including Nicolas Cage, Eric Clapton, Tommy Hilfiger, Rod Stewart, and of course, Michael Schumacher, the man responsible for bringing virtually countless honor for the company as the most famous Formula 1 driver for Scuderia Ferrari, Ferrari's racing division.
