The Ferrari Enzo (Type F140), is a mid-engine sports car named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology including a carbon fibre body, Formula One-style automated manual transmission and carbon composite disc brakes, as well as technologies not allowed in Formula One such as active aerodynamics. The Enzo's F140 B V12 engine was also the first of a new generation for Ferrari. The Enzo generates substantial amounts of downforce through its front underbody flaps, small adjustable rear spoiler and rear diffuser.
The engine in the Enzo is longitudinally mounted and the car has a rear mid-engine layout. The powerplant is Ferrari's F140B naturally aspirated 65° V12 engine with DOHC 4 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and Bosch Motronic ME7 fuel injection with a displacement of 5,999 cc generating a power output of 660 PS at 7,800 rpm.
The Enzo was designed by Ken Okuyama, the then Pininfarina head of design, and initially announced at the 2002 Paris Motor Show with a limited production run of 399 cars. In 2004, a 400th production car was built and donated to the Vatican for charity.
This particular car is a 2004 model finished in traditional Rosso Corsa with a Nero leather interior. Having completed just 3,487 km, mostly in Japan, it is in excellent condition and has been stored in the current Hong Kong owner’s private collection in recent years. The car is complete with its Ferrari Classiche certification ‘Red Book’.
