The '''Enzo Ferrari''' is a [[V12|12-cylinder]] [[Ferrari]] [[supercar]] named after the company's founder, [[Enzo Ferrari]]. It was built in [[2003]] using [[Formula One]] technology, such as a [[Graphite-reinforced plastic|carbon-fiber]] body, F1-style [[Sequential manual gearbox|sequential shift transmission]], and [[disk brake|carbon-ceramic brake discs]]. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a maximum downforce of 775 kg (1709 lb) is reached at 300&nbsp;km/h (186&nbsp;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 [[Maserati Quattroporte|Quattroporte]], using the same basic architecture and 104&nbsp;mm bore spacing. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The [[2005]] [[Ferrari F430|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 [[Sports Car International Top Sports Cars|Top Sports Cars of the 2000s]].

Every four years Ferrari plans on coming out with a new version of the Enzo (not necessarily being called the Enzo). The new model of the Enzo comes equipped with a carbon fiber front bumper, and instead of having mirrors it has cameras(the views are displayed on a navigation system in the center console.

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

== Naming ==
The ''Enzo Ferrari'' is sometimes referred to incorrectly as the '''Ferrari Enzo''' and also '''F60''' (this is false given the F60 would be an anniversary car for [[2007]] rather than [[2003]]). The model name of the car is ''Enzo Ferrari'', and the maker is ''Ferrari''. When combined, this gives a full make/model name of ''Ferrari Enzo Ferrari''. It is also correct to call it by its model name ''Enzo Ferrari''. It is named after the original maker "Enzo Ferrari".

== Production ==
[[Image:Enzo_rear.JPG|thumb|left|248px|2003 Enzo Ferrari (rear).]]
The Enzo was initially announced at the 2002 [[Paris Motor Show]] with a limited production run of 349 units and priced at [[US$]]643,330. The company sent invitations to existing customers, specifically, those who had previously bought the Ferrari F40 and Ferrari F50. All 349 cars were sold in this way before production began. Later, after numerous requests, Ferrari decided to build 50 more Enzos, bringing the total to 399.

On [[November 8]], [[2005]], Ferrari announced that it would build one additional Enzo, bringing the total to 400. The car, chassis #ZFFCZ56B000141920, was auctioned by [[Sotheby's]] Maranello Auction on [[June 28]], [[2005]] to benefit survivors of the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Tsunami]] for [[Euro|€]]950,000 ([[United States dollar|US$]]1,274,229), almost twice its list price. This sum was presented to [[Pope Benedict XVI]], John Paul's successor, while Formula One driver Michael Schumacher gave the pope a steering wheel to commemorate the donation. This wheel included a plaque which read, "The Formula 1 World Champion's steering wheel to His Holiness Benedict XVI, Christianity's driver."

Enzos typically trade above $1,000,000 at auction.[http://www.sportscarmarket.com/profiles/2006/January/Ferrari/index.html]

Three prototype "mules" were built, M1, M2, and M3. Each was bodied to look like a [[Ferrari 348|348]], even though the mules were built in [[2000]]. The third mule was offered for auction alongside the 400th Enzo in June, 2005, bringing €195,500 (US$236,300).

==In popular culture==
[[Image:Enzo_side.JPG|thumb|right|250px|2003 Enzo Ferrari (side)]]
The Enzo was featured on the cover of [[Project Gotham Racing 2]], in the game [[Forza Motorsport]], [[Test Drive Unlimited]] and [[Project Gotham Racing 3]], also in ''[[Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle]]''. It has also been a [[Hot Wheels]] 1:18 and 1:64 die-cast model and a 1:24 plastic model by [[Tamiya Corporation|Tamiya]] and [[Revell]], as well as 1:10 scale [[Lego Technic]] and 1:17 scale [[Lego]] models. It was also featured on the [[West Coast Customs]] website. The Enzo now features along with other Ferrari's In the Sega game [[OutRun 2]] and its followup, ''[[Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast]]''.

The British automotive program ''[[Top Gear]]'' tried unsuccessfully to obtain an Enzo from Ferrari to test and review. However, an offer was made by [[Pink Floyd]] drummer [[Nick Mason]] to let the show use his Enzo, but only if ''Top Gear'' plugged his new book, ''[[Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd]]''. Host [[Jeremy Clarkson]] did not only drive the Enzo, but also managed to plug Mason's book several times during the segment. The show's test driver, [[The Stig]] then drove it, with a lap time of 1.19.0, which made it the fastest car the show had tested at the time. It is now currently fourth behind the [[Koenigsegg CCX]], [[Pagani Zonda#2005 C12 F|Pagani Zonda C12 F]] and the [[Maserati MC12]] respectively.

An animated version of the Enzo appears in the [[Ah! My Goddess (TV)|Ah! My Goddess]] TV series alongside an [[SLR McLaren]]. Series creator [[Kosuke Fujishima]] is a known lover of cars and motorcycles, including Ferraris.

In [[Twisted Metal: Head-On]], the vehicle Crimson Fury resembles an Enzo Ferrari.

{{main|Ferrari FXX}}
As the result of the Enzo, Ferrari have decided to use some of the technology developed for it in a small-scale program to get more feedback from certain customers for use in future car design as well as their racing program. The core of this program is a car called the [[Ferrari FXX]]. It is loosely based on the Enzo's design with a highly-tuned 6.2 liter version of the Enzo's engine putting out roughly 588&nbsp;kW (789&nbsp;hp/800&nbsp;PS). The gearbox is new as well as the tires (custom-designed for this car by [[Bridgestone]]) and the brakes (developed by [[Brembo]]). In addition, the car is fitted with extensive data-recording and telemetry systems to allow Ferrari to record the car's behavior. This information will be used by Ferrari to develop their next supercar.

Like the Enzo, the car will be sold to specially selected existing clients of Ferrari only; the initial price is €1.3 million. Unlike the Enzo, the clients will not take delivery of the car themselves. Rather, it will be maintained by Ferrari and available for the client's use on various circuits as arranged by Ferrari and also during private track sessions. The car is not expected to be street-legal or suitable for road use.

{{main|Ferrari P4/5}}
[[Pininfarina]] had wanted to do a special one-off Enzo Ferrari based hyper-car and was looking for a backer. After sending out feelers to its clients, American Ferrari collector, [[James Glickenhaus]] eventually agreed to back the project by commissioning the car as a modern homage to great Ferrari sports racing cars such as the [[Ferrari P|330 P3/4, 512 S, 312 P, and 333 SP]] on the last unregistered US-spec Enzo chassis<ref>{{cite journal|journal=[[Car and Driver]]|issue=September 2006|pages=86&ndash;93|title=The Beast of Turin}}</ref>.

The car was unveiled at the 2006 [[Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance]] and appeared in the September issue of [[Car and Driver]]. The "photos" previously shown in [[AutoWeek]] and Octane magazines were not close to what the car looks like. After its unveiling at Pebble Beach, the P4/5 will return to Europe for high speed testing, press days, and an appearance at the [[Paris Auto Show]] in September.

===Maserati MC12===
{{main|Maserati MC12}}
The '''Maserati MC12''' is a [[MR layout|mid-engined]] [[supercar]] derivative of the Enzo developed by [[Maserati]] while under control of Ferrari. It was developed specifically to be [[homologation|homologated]] for racing in the [[FIA GT Championship]], with a minimum requirement of 25 road versions to be produced before the car could be allowed to compete. Maserati built 50 units, all of which were presold to selected customers. A further variation, the [[Maserati MC12#MC12 Corsa|MC12 Corsa]] is a track day car, similar to the [[Ferrari FXX]].

The Maserati MC12 has the same engine, chassis and gearbox as the Enzo but the only externally visible component from the Enzo is the windshield. <ref>{{web cite|url=http://www.worldcarfans.com/features.cfm/featureID/1060609.001/country/ecf/maserati/wcf-test-drive-maserati-mc12r-by-edo|title=World Car Fans test drive MC12|accessdate=2006-09-28|publisher=World Car Fans}}</ref><ref>{{web cite|url=http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupe/112_0506_maserati_mc12/|title=Motor Trend Road Test|accessdate=2006-10-02|publisher=Motor Trend}}</ref> The MC12 is slower accelerating (0-100 km/h in 3.8 s) and has a slower top speed (330 km/h) than the Enzo due to engine tuning. <ref>{{web cite|url=http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=118481&Maserati|title=Carfolio: Maserati MC12|accessdate=2006-09-28|publisher=Carfolio}}</ref>
