This Pristine Ferrari Enzo has only 141 Miles on it and is Going Up For Auction
The Nürburgring silver finish is one of only nine examples in which Argento Nürburgring silver has been used.
The only thing better than landing your dream car is landing your dream job. The hard part is finding an example of that model, years after the model went out of production, that is still in brand new condition.
An Enzo Ferrari 2003 with the aforementioned characteristics will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's later this month as part of their collection. In the auction house's words, the silver Enzo is the last known example of an "in the wrapper" Enzo, which means that it remains virtually in the same condition as when it was delivered from the factory.
A Ferrari sports car is one thing, but a Ferrari supercar is something entirely different. Without a doubt, the Enzo falls into the latter category, as is evident from the description above. There is no doubt that this vehicle is the spiritual successor to the F50, having been developed using the technology used in Formula One. Therefore, in order to boost downforce, it featured an aerodynamically active carbon-fiber body with aerodynamic elements that were designed for this purpose.
It was equipped with a V-12 engine, the F140 B engine, which was new at the time, and carbon composite disc brakes, according to Rich Report. While these features may be standard on modern supercars, they weren't available when the model was introduced at the beginning of the millennium. It's for a reason that Ferrari's Enzo model was named after its founder, after all.
It is worth noting that although Ferrari built a total of 400 Enzo cars (one of which was made for Pope John Paul II), all but nine of them were finished in Ferrari's signature Rosso Corsa color, according to the auction house. Chassis 132662 was one of the nine cars that left the factory in Nürburgring Silver Argento.
Amongst those, it should be noted that it is one of the only Enzos that has an interior of cuoio brown leather. With a V-12 engine -- the largest the automaker had ever built since the 1970s -- coupled to an automated-shift manual transmission that sent 651 horsepower and 485 ft lbs of torque to the rear wheels, this was the largest V-12 the automaker had ever made.
There has barely been any contact made with chassis no. 132662 since it rolled off the production line a few weeks ago. The car, which was originally shipped to Japan, is still in most of its original factory protective packaging, as well as its original manuals, matching luggage set, and an original car cover, and some of its original factory protective packaging remains intact. The car has been owned by the same owner since then and has just 141 miles on the odometer, which makes it a very low mileage vehicle.
Would you like to own a true mint-condition Enzo? There is going to be an auction for this example in Ontario, Canada, between March 15 and 17. Although RM Sotheby's has not announced a pre-sale estimate for the painting, it is likely to fetch top dollar at the auction. Enzos have sold at auction for $3.2 million and $4.3 million in recent months, and neither of those examples were still in their original wrapping when they were sold.
