Top Gear testing a Ferrari Enzo

The Enzo Ferrari , also known as Ferrari Enzo, is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta named after the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari. It is currently one of the most powerful naturally aspirated production cars.[citation needed] It was built in 2002 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style electrohydraulic shift transmission, and Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After a downforce of 775 kg (1,709 lb) is reached at 348.8 km/h (217 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce.

The Enzo’s V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company Maserati’s Quattroporte, using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 is the second Ferrari to get a version of this new powerplant.

In 2004, Sports Car International named the Enzo Ferrari number three on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 2000s.

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

    Amazing how the Nissan GTR comes so close to this as far as performance and yet is so much cheaper and more practical. It just shows you how technology is always advancing. The F40, when it was new was absolutely amazing. Now, its just as good as your everyday Corvette Z06. I bet in a few years the Porsche 911 will wipe the floor off this Enzo.

    Despite being a 10 …
    Despite being a 10 year old car that currently, could be considered old school and obsolete, Enzo is still a formidable weapon… It remains the 4th fastest car tested over the Nordschleife, despite suffering from a broken electronic damper when the test was conducted. If the damper was in tact, there is no reason why Enzo wouldn’t have been even faster.

    @yooo711 Yes! I have it on very reliable sources that your Austin Morris would be featured in a special Top Gear Challenge. Remember the Robin Reliant Space Shuttle? Well, Clarkson and the producers are looking for a suitable platform for the next great challenge.

    You would merely have to drive your Austin to Iceland, into the currently active volcano and on to the center of the earth. How hard can it be? Your book would promoted upon your return via China. :)
