Ferrari Enzo

If not for the cars (wheel heads, no offence meant) Ferrari, the Italian automobile giant is known far and wide for its continuing domination on the Formula 1 tracks; a trend that was set by the founder, Enzo Ferrari, received encores with the introduction of the super car - the Ferrari Enzo.

Claimed as the ultimate modern day embodiment of the legendary Enzo Ferrari’s passion for grandeur, performance and technology, this 12-cylinder beast from the Ferrari stable first rolled out in 2003, sporting the Formula One technology that showed on its carbon-fiber body, sequential shift transmission and especially on the carbon-ceramic brake discs.

However, if that makes one gauge the Ferrari Enzo as simply a F-1 vehicle, then its active aerodynamics delivering a maximum down-force of 775 kg or 1709 pounds (reached upon hitting the 300 km/h mark) with the computer-controlled rear spoiler is sure to cause some serious paradigm shifts, as it created for the Sports Car International in 2004; the realization made the association include the Ferrari Enzo at number three on their list of Top Sports Cars of the new millennium.
