Oh please. I'm not saying they're bad. They're great. But they look awefull IMO. That's all.

yea.. it's hideous. nice one!.. and you said that like it's fact or something.
you'd be the guy standing in a crowd around an enzo saying 'ugh, god, it's soo hideous!'

rozwado1 · Feb 25, 2006, 02:39 PM

LOL! Is this the ENTIRE ENGINE?

Now it is 100% right

Eriksson was a top exec involved in the embarrassing failure of the Gizmondo

Oh yeah ! Gizmondo, the device that can do anything !, it seems the guy shares Gizmondo's killer feature, a lack of focus !!

the crash that allegedly occurred as the result of a street race with a McLaren SLR and a better driver

Actually I would. The last REALLY good looking were the 355 and the 456 IMHO. After that it's just "meh".

An no it"s not a "fact" it's just my opinion.

Sigh, I was sure that a few would react like this.

yea, it is. Would you rather it be half the engine? -_-

Pretty cool to see the Formula 1 technology at work here. The cockpit sits intact, doors opened and everything. Neat.

Yep, it sure did what it had to do in the event of a crash.

So sad, that is what would be called totaled. I hope that there is adequate insurance to cover the loss.

wasnt he racing it when it crashed. I hope his insurance doesnt pay for it so other people don't have to pay for his driving.

alphasubzero949 · Feb 25, 2006, 04:03 PM

He was racing a Mercedes SLR at the time of the crash.

It's bad enough it happened in Malibu, the anti-sports car capital of the world.

I don't understand people who want to test out their top ends on PCH, as that is the last place to do it. Can't these people drive out into the desert?

There was a Isaac Berg at my high school.

A waste of some nice Potenza tires.

One of the best looking Ferrari's and 4 seats!!! I really want one

I drove a 355, it was amazing!

I saw the Top Gear episode on the Enzo. The show couldn't get one from anywhere else, so they used Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's (in exchange for a plug for his new book).

They drooled over this car. Said it was about the fastest thing they'd ever tested.

ghporter · Feb 27, 2006, 08:15 AM

It looks like the design did the right thing though; the engine went one way, and the passenger compartment went another-and as I recall the "driver named Detrich" and the passenger seemed to have escaped without injury. For a crash at over 100mph, that's pretty spectacular.

Of course I don't like the idea of letting "Detrich" (was that the name?) drive anything for me, particularly if I'm in the car at the time. Ferari should get the guy a new car. Probably a Mazerati.

wasnt it around 200mph? just makes it even more spectacular.

besson3c · Feb 27, 2006, 08:48 AM

Guys, to make things plural you simply add an "s"... e.g.:

Ferraris

Ferrari's = Ferrari is, or indicates something belongs to Ferrari (e.g. Ferrari's reputation).

Same goes with photos.

andreas_g4 · Feb 27, 2006, 11:11 AM

Can anyone access any actual content behind the splash at www.ferrari.com? Me not (Safari/Firefox).

hickey · Feb 27, 2006, 11:12 AM

works in Camino.

I would have to agree. It's an ugly looking monstrosity. Ferrari has designed better looking cars. Like the 360 Modena. Simply beautiful.

Thanks for pointing out the grammatical error. For soem reason, when I type, my grammer becomes practically none existant..... Probably something to do with being so poor a tyoper I have to look at the keyboaard, and not what I have typed. What I need is a FAST handwriting recognition system, and I will be okay!

BTW, Whats the plural of Lexus??

The F40 was a beauty.. I like the 612 too, but not the Enzo.

Just look at the F40:

IceEnclosure · Feb 27, 2006, 04:58 PM

you guys are buggin out. Enzo is the culmination of F40, F50, F1 tech. F40 (I love it) looks like a buff Fiero.

While I happen to love the looks of the Enzo, it's shape is purposeful. This car is ferocious, while being streetable. The F40 was a race car with no interior.

The Top Gear episode with Nick Mason is awesome.

Oh and next time you see one, and your eyes can't stand it, just close them. It'll sound great, promise!

I love ferraris, especially the modern ones. I think I'd rock a Ferrari Daytona a la Miami Vice though

You mean a Corvette with Ferrari-style bodywork? Source

iLikebeer · Feb 27, 2006, 06:49 PM

Nothing can top these 2 bad boys.

These 2 being the Ferrari and Magnum's mustache. That combination could get ANY female in the car.

I knew I should have covered my bases in my previous post. Yea, I know they used a fake for the show. I want a real one..$200,000+ US for one tho

Yes, the technology in the Enzo is fantastic. I just don't like the looks of it - it's too agressive.

But then again, I haven't seen one in person, since a new Enzo in Denmark would cost ~$3.000.000 with all our tax, so they are not so popular....

And yes, the episode of Top Gear was awesome!

hickey · Feb 28, 2006, 08:25 AM

Ive never seen one of those 456's before, but they rule!

there are only a few, a regular 4-door and a hatchback version, as well as a convertible and a couple other varieties. they were custom made by the Ferrari factory for the Sultan of Brunei (of course).
