Ferrari Enzo update. Final specs released!

- Enzo weighs 1345kg rather than the reported 1200kg. Not exactly a stripped-out road racer.
- Enzo accelerates from 0-60mph in 3.55 seconds, not the reported 3.2 seconds.
- Enzo?s 6.0 V12 engine pumps out 660 horsepower, more than the reported 650.
- Enzo?s engine does not adopt any so-called "ballistic valve-actuation system experimented by Ferrari F1 cars in the early 90s, which throws the valve stems away from cam lobes at very high speed". No such things or similarly things at all!
- Enzo employs 6-speed F1 gearbox (same as I predicted) rather than the reported 7-speeder.

Check the link out for a more detailed breakdown, and for a comparison to other class-supercars.

I figured this was worthy enough of its own thread. For some more discussion about Enzo and the now defunct Nardo, see here.

FYI: It is pronounced as "model -> manufacturer", not "manufacturer -> model" as is usually the case. In this case it is pronounced as the "Enzo Ferrari", not as "Ferrari Enzo".

Drooooooooooool. Not as pretty as the 360, but damn it looks nice. Much better than the fugly F50 and almost as good lookin' as the F40.

Thanks. Link?

Anywho, I love this car, and IMO its a worthy successor to the F50 both in looks and peformance. I would have liked to see a lower curb weight, not that ~3,000lbs is incredibly high. Its still ~650lb lighter than the Murcielago.

i still like the 575M better. this might be faster, but the 575M looks more like a car.

I like the car except for the backend. It needs a wing on it.

 

[CSMOOTH]

That is a hell of a car. Now where is my ATM card?????

Sure is. 110 hp/L is rather impressive. It even has more torque than a McLaren.

Visually, maybe, but that car has plenty of downforce already. This isn't the Celica Action Package we're talking about here, these lines actually do something for the car

I heard Enzo was an ass and his 'tude is what brought forth Lamborghini.

IIRC those intakes in the front provide all the downforce necessary for the back end, so the wing could de-stabalize the front end at high speeds.
