Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors will have their eyes on Lot F77 at the upcoming Mecum Auctions in Monterey on Friday, August 16th, 2024. Up for grabs is an exceptionally rare 2003 Ferrari Enzo, one of only 111 imported into the U.S. and one of just 400 Enzos produced worldwide. This specific model, with a metric odometer reading 27,113 kilometers (approximately 16,847 miles), stands as a testament to Ferrari’s engineering prowess and racing heritage.
The Ferrari Enzo, named after the company’s legendary founder, is powered by a formidable 6.0L V-12 engine, producing 651 horsepower at 7,800 RPM and 484 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 RPM. This engine, inspired by Formula 1 technology, features variable-length induction, four valves per cylinder, and Ferrari’s first constantly variable exhaust-valve timing system. Paired with a six-speed F1 automatic gearbox, this powertrain delivers blistering performance, ensuring the Enzo remains one of the most impressive supercars ever built.
Built around a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the Enzo exemplifies Ferrari’s commitment to cutting-edge materials and construction techniques. The car’s design and development were heavily influenced by Ferrari’s racing department, with significant input from F1 legend Michael Schumacher. The result is a mid-engined, two-seater supercar that offers unparalleled performance and handling.
The Enzo’s suspension system features adjustable double wishbone suspension with horizontally opposed pushrod coil springs and adaptive shock absorbers. These components, controlled by seven sensors and an integrated brake switch, allow for millisecond adjustments, providing superior ride comfort and body control. The Enzo also boasts massive Brembo 15-inch vented carbon ceramic disc brakes, a first for any road car, delivering incredible stopping power without fade.
One of the Enzo’s most groundbreaking features is its fully integrated computer control systems. These systems manage the engine and transmission, suspension, traction and launch control, brake force distribution, and ABS, ensuring optimal performance in all driving conditions. This level of technological integration was revolutionary at the time and remains a benchmark in automotive engineering.
This particular Enzo, finished in iconic Rosso Corsa DS322 with a Pella Nera interior, is Ferrari Classiche certified, complete with a Classiche Red Book. Its pristine condition and low mileage make it a highly sought-after collector’s item. With its impeccable pedigree and historical significance, this Ferrari Enzo is expected to attract significant interest and command a premium price at auction.
For those interested in owning a piece of automotive history, this 2003 Ferrari Enzo represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Register to bid, apply for financing, and learn more about the auction details by visiting Mecum’s official website.
