Ferrari enthusiasts often cite the Enzo as one of the greatest supercars ever made, alongside other legendary models such as the LaFerrari, F40, F50, and the 288 GTO. Produced between 2002 and 2004, the Enzo was designed by Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, who also contributed to several other notable models like the 599 GTB and the original Honda NSX. With only 400 units made and some having been totaled, the Enzo has become increasingly rare, which in turn has elevated its market value.

When production of the Enzo ended, Maserati utilized its underlying technology to create the MC12. The Enzo retained Ferrari’s renowned V12 engine, featuring a 6.0-liter displacement. This naturally aspirated powerhouse generated an impressive 651 brake horsepower (660 ps/485 kW) and 485 pound-foot (657 Nm) of torque. While these numbers may not seem extraordinary by today’s supercar standards, they were groundbreaking at the time, providing thrilling performance that still excites drivers today.

In terms of performance, the Enzo is capable of reaching speeds over 217 miles per hour (350 kph) and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) in just 3.65 seconds. Additionally, it completed the quarter-mile in around 11 seconds, solidifying its status as one of the best Ferraris ever produced. Even more than two decades after its launch, the Enzo remains a benchmark for performance and adrenaline-inducing driving experiences.

As Ferrari closes the chapter on the Enzo, the company is already hard at work on its next hypercar, the F250 (codename). Currently in the testing phase, this new model has generated considerable excitement among fans and collectors, with some VIP clients reportedly receiving early previews. The F250 is anticipated to feature a V6 engine with hybrid technology, similar to the setup found in the successful 499P race car, which has won Le Mans twice.

While Ferrari gears up for the F250’s debut, a recent sketch by designer tedoradze.giorgi has captured the imagination of fans, envisioning a hypothetical successor to the Enzo set for a 2027 release. This conceptual design blends a sleek, muscular wedge shape with the powerful allure of a mid-mounted naturally aspirated V12 engine and rear-wheel-drive configuration. Although it remains an unofficial rendering, the design has garnered significant attention and appreciation among enthusiasts who continue to cherish the legacy of the Enzo.
