Does somebody have good or highresolution pics of the Flat Black Ferrari Enzo Testcar with the Pirelli decals? I have allready some pics but I need some more pics to make my modelversion!!! I know there are some pics of the modelversion but that's NOT what I needed. I would like to have some good pics of the real car 8)

People call it the Enzo GT.
Its a car that Ferrari use to develop the Maserati MC12 race car.

Here a better picture of the pic you posted
+ pic on the track

 

[Andrew]

That track photo is awesome, the first time I've seen that. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Richy]

Yes! Super thanks for sharing! Do you also have a pic of the back? I thought the backlights were black isn't it? Thanks!

 

[John T]

Looking at this picture.... yes it looks like the rear lights are black.

DJ Dirk,
Whats the latest news on this car?
Its still not for sale?

 

[Dj Dirk]

John is correct.

this was the test mule that was used to develop the Maserati MC12
at the moment it's standing in a departement of Corse Clienti in between some F1's, the car is not for sale, and i doubt that it will come for sale within the first 2-3 years. or as long as the MC12 is toplevel competitive.

those shots that you posted where from a Fifth Gear epsiode when Tiff Needle followed a guy who has just bought a new F1 from Ferrari and they where allowed to film & follow him around.
in that episode they said that it was for sale. however at the FCA National meet this august i talked to 2 owners who where at the factory after that episode, they also got to see the car, but the factory said that it is not for sale, since he was interested in purchasing the car

The Maserati MC12 is faster than the Enzo now. It would be a PR marketing disaster for Ferrari to sell the car and find that the owner race it against the Maserati and lose!

When they sold the F50 GT's, the owners had to agree that the car must never be raced.
I'm sure the Enzo GT will be the same thing.

The difference is the F50GT was made to race until the FIA changed the rules. So they have a few examples. 3 were built and 2 are somewhere around the world but 1 is in the Sultan of Brunei's garage which the world doesn't know!

The Enzo is a mule. And because of that it must be cut and patched all over the place. After all it is a test bed. So maybe that's the reason why Ferrari doesn't want to sell it because it's an experimental car and looks messy!

 

[Dj Dirk]

actually i think it looks pretty hot, especially in that dull black, i am affraid though IF the car gets sold one day that the new owner would paint it red to show it.
but it must be a reall killer to see out on the track, especially next to an F50GT.
i do wonder if it sounds as good as the F50GT, because that sound, is just stunning, at Laguna i was standing in the pitbox in the morning when they where warming up the car, i swear it's defeaning but an amazing sound :green:

Doh! Looks like you just broke the secret.

 

[Richy]

Does somebody know what the thing is between the rearwing? Looks like a radiotor or something? I would like to know everything about this car. I know that is is hard to find anything because I think it's the most Secret Ferrari car until know... That's probably also the reason indeed why Ferrari don't sell the car.. :green:

001 is back in Maranello again being repaired by the Corse Clienti dep't again, is it not? Getting yet another nose job, but this one only cosmetic, not structural like the one before.

nope, i talked to Art after the crash and he said it was just bodywork damage, so the parts would be flown over, and get fixed in the US

 

[Enzo_Ferrari]

Well, there you go, I stand corrected...thanks, Dirk. :wink:
