Ferrari Enzo - the living legend

Ah! Ferrari! This name can get the attention of any person in the world. It doest matter, how good or bad you are in cars, but you certainly know Ferrari. You know it's powerful, it's exclusive and that it's just a masterpiece.

The Enzo Ferrari is a 12-cylinder Ferrari super car named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It is currently the most powerful car in the world. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style sequential shift transmission, and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a down force of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300 km/h (186 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that down force.

Enzo was announced in 2002 at the Paris Motor Show in a limited edition of only 349 units and with the price up 640 thousand dollars! Of course, all of those cars were sold straight away, and due to that fact Ferrari made 50 more cars, making it total of 399.

One more car was made and sold in 2005 at the Sotheby's, to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami in Asia. The price was 1,274,229 dollars, almost twice as expensive.

So, without a doubt, this car will have plenty of attention in the forthcoming years. Usually this car doest cost less than 1 million dollars on auctions nowadays.

Motor Trend Classic named the Enzo as number four in their list of the ten "Greatest Ferraris of all time".
