The Enzo Ferrari is a supercar V12 was built in 2003 (produced 400 units). It named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. The car was built using F1 technology and style such as carbon-fibre body, carbon-ceramic brake discs and sequential shift transmission. Technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics are also used whereby the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce of 775kg when the car speed reached 300 km/h.
The engine is Ferrari's F140 65° V12 with 4 valves/cylinder, dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. Bosch Motronic ME7 fuel injection is used and the engine is naturally aspirated. It displaces 5998 cm³ (366 in³) and produces 485 kW (651 hp/660 PS) at 7800 rpm and 657 N·m (485 ft·lbf) at 5500 rpm. The redline is 8200 rpm.
The Enzo has a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission (also known as the F1 gearbox) using paddles to control an automated shifting and clutch mechanism, with LED lights on the steering wheel telling the driver when to change gears. The gearbox has a shift time of just 150 milliseconds.The transmission was a first generation "clutchless" design from the late 90's, and there have been complaints about its abrupt shifting.

The car has wheelbase 2650 mm (104.3 in) and 4702 mm (185 in) length. The width is 2035 mm (80 in), height is 1147 mm (45 in) and Curb weight 1365 kg (3000 lb). The Enzo uses 483 mm (19 in) wheels and has 381 mm (15 in) Brembo disc brakes.
The Enzo Ferrari has 4 wheel independent suspension with push-rod actuated shock absorbers which can be adjusted from the cabin, complemented with anti-roll bars at the front and rear.The Enzo can accelerate to 60 mph in 3.14 seconds and can reach 161 km/h (100 mph) in 6.6 seconds. The ¼ mile (0.4 km) time is in the low 11 seconds and the top speed is estimated at 350 km/h (217+ mph).
