2003 Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
Body style(s): 2-door supercar

Trim Levels: base
MSRP range: $643,330

Notes: Fourth in a line of supercars that dated back to the 288GTO, the Ferrari Enzo debuted for 2003 as the most powerful street Ferrari yet. Its performance was superb: its acceleration, braking, and handling were at or near the top of every performance chart to date. It was powered by a six-liter dry-sump engine derived from Ferrari's racing program, and coupled to a six-speed F1-type transmission. With twelve naturally-aspirated cylinders, the Enzo could breach the 200mph barrier (Ferrari estimated 218mph). Massive brakes, along with equally huge tires, were required to control that engine power. A model of excessive design, the Enzo's styling was more outrageous than any road-going Ferrari before it, with a massive wedge-ish nose. Its interior was functional, with manually-adjusted leather seats. Power door locks were not available, and no stereo system was fitted or offered. Carbon-fiber was present throughout the vehicle. The Enzo did have several aids to prevent drivers from over-reaching themselves: traction control, stability control, and a limited-slip differential were all standard equipment. The Enzo was one of the first of a new batch of hyper-exotics, matching the likes of the Saleen S7 stride for stride. Only Bugatti's Veyron would eventually unseat it. Only 399 Enzos were produced, and Ferrari only sold them to buyers with loyalty to the marque.
