The 400th Enzo

czar_boi1 · January 21st, 2005, 8:25 PM

As many of you know, Ferrari only made 399 Enzo's. But I heard news (read at a forum) that Ferrari was planning to make a 400th Enzo. No news on how much it will differ from "normal" Enzos (power, exterior, interior) , but I know that it will be much higher in price. The 400th Enzo will be auctioned by Sotheby's and proceeds will go to the Tsunami Victims. I'm not saying this is truel; I'm just saying from what I read. Ferrari is so generous. . .

I'd think this is just a rumor. There is probably a written document out there that legally says that Ferrari will only make 399 Enzos so that Enzo owners are few.

it would be easier for ferrari just to donate money then to spend money on production of this one of then auction...blah blah blah

SPG900 · January 21st, 2005, 9:16 PM

Easier, sure. But it'd get them less publicity.

Renesis · January 21st, 2005, 9:16 PM

I'd raise my BS flag on that one

Hmm, don't think so... The engine is still in Stock, and most of the parts will be hidden in a warehouse as spares...
They also build the black Enzo GT (or whatever it is called) which you can see in the FG Ep, where that guy buys the F1..

There's an exemptions for RX-8, don't mind the admin of the site images/smilies/lol.gif

They built 400, and the 1st is the mule (the black test car in that FG vid). It's no GT or anything special, just a temporary body they used before the final design was selected. They wouldn't build a GT version before the actual car images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

andyhui01 · January 22nd, 2005, 11:18 AM

I thought they actually built 400 but they only sell 399 because they place one enzo in the ferrari museum and will never be sold to anyone

v0od0o · January 22nd, 2005, 12:18 PM

Dunno about the truth of what czar boy is saying but regarding the "legal" docs that say ferrari can't make too many Enzos... They've done it before with the F50 I think, if I remember correctly they tripled the number (which did make the owners mad) but still they did it images/smilies/smile.gif

So I can't rule out them making more than 399 Enzos after all...

Renesis · January 22nd, 2005, 4:57 PM

well they were supposed to make 349 Enzos but made 399, so I guess they can change it.

It did make collectors/owners unhappy

I've only heard about the 399 Enzos....and about the sig, you shouldn't talk, because you're over the limit too....that extra 26px of the logo to be exact.. images/smilies/tongue.gif

If they made 200, 399 or 800, would we really know? images/smilies/wacko.gif

thats the FX60 prototype, which was the mule for the Enzo. they kept it for testing and probably use it for trying out new ideas for their road cars (i can't imagine them testing engine or areodynamics on an f50 spider images/smilies/lol.gif

)

asthenia · January 25th, 2005, 4:28 AM

That makes more sense.

If they were going to put it back into production for just one car, it'd end up costing so much to make that they'd probably be better off just sending the money to tsunami victims instead.
