UGHH!! Autoweek test drives the $670k, 660 HP Enzo Ferrari supercar

[GTaudiophile]

Both progress toward the middle where the mating operation produces a final car in a mere four weeks of hand-fit, labor-intensive work. Or will, when production starts in earnest in November, with the first delivery scheduled in January 2003. By contrast, on the adjacent assembly lines, it takes four days to build a 360 Modena, six days to produce a 575M Maranello or 456 GTA.

Damn! How many Camrys can the Toyota plant in Kentucky produce in 4 days? A few hundred, thousand?

No need for a big wing, thanks to the underbody that generates twice the F50's downforce. The aero load at 135 mph is already 750 pounds and contributes to the car's ability to corner at 1.36 g.

Yum

The performance looks amazing, but the car is still butt-ugly. When I win the lottery this week I'll save the extra $500,000 and buy a 360 Modena Spyder.

IMO, they're fugly. I'd take a '95 McLaren LM over that anyday.

hmmm... supercar... big house... supercar... big house... supercar... big house....

you want to know the funny part? this thing will get around daytona faster than a winston cup car

heck, its probably faster than an IRL car

You can tell that Ferrari is trying to evoke the F1 feeling with the hoodline and pointed nose. It looks like the real F1 car with fenders added.

Ferrari and the rest of the supercar builders get one thing wrong though that only McLaren can seem to get right. If you are going to build a car to give you the F1 feel for the street, why do they insist on putting the steering wheel on the left. It should be in the middle IMO like the McLaren.

One of the sweetest cars ever would be if Audi would convert their LeMans car the Audi R8 to a road car.

When the McLaren F1 was being sold, buyers in the US had to go through a company which put auxilary bumpers on as well as other things to make it legal. Most owners took these off as soon as the cars reached their driveways.

Have you seen Tiff Needle's video review of the McLaren F1?? It should be similar to that It's like a 10 minute long segment.

LOL

Winston cup car? No doubt. IRL car? Hmm not likely. Don't IRL cars hit near 220 in the straights?

No need for a big wing, thanks to the underbody that generates twice the F50's downforce. The aero load at 135 mph is already 750 ed:[990]pounds and contributes to the car's ability to corner at 1.36 g.

With all the downforce you won't need the brakes in the higher speeds corners. I'd wonder what the downforce is at top speed(should be alteast twice that since I believe DF rises exponentially with speeds), it still makes the 911 turbo's 14 pounds @190 mph(and most any car) seems mighty weaky.
