Hardcore car enthusiasts, get ready for the ultimate prize! Ferrari’s legendary Enzo model was first introduced in 2002 at the Paris Motor Show, and it certainly made an impression. This 6.0-liter V-12 monster was equipped with the latest and greatest technology and materials, and even featured an innovative telescopic intake manifold designed to boost torque. Only 399 were slated to be produced, but an additional car was built specifically for Pope John Paul II in 2004. This model was a serious game-changer for the Italian manufacturer, and it remains one of the greatest Ferraris of the 21st century.
The vast majority of Enzos are finished in Rosso Corsa, but there are some rarer paint shades that have caught the attention of collectors. One of these is Argento Nürburgring 101/C, which was found on only nine of the models. And one of these is up for auction – chassis 132662 – and it is literally still ‘in the wrapper’! It has never been registered for use on the road and has only 227 kilometers (141 miles) on its odometer, with virtually all of those from factory testing. The car also still has much of its factory protective packaging intact, including plastic on the door sills, tape wrapped around the ignition key, and plastic covering on the brake and gas pedals. And it even comes with its original owner’s manuals, car cover, spare key, and factory three-piece fitted luggage set which has never been unwrapped.
This stunning Argento Nürburgring-finished Enzo deserves top recognition for its rarity and originality. Sotheby's Sealed Auction is offering this piece of automotive history on their website from March 15-17.
