Enzo Ferrari
The Enzo Ferrari is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinitta named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It was built in 2002 using Formula one technology, such as a carbon-Fibre body, F1-style electrohydraulic,shift transmission and carbon-fibre-reinforced silicon fibre (C/SiC) ceramic composite Disc brakes. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After a downforce of 775 kg (1,709 lb) is reached at 355.6 km/h (221 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce.
The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of theV8 found in sister-company Maserati's Quattroporate using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 is the second Ferrari to get a version of this new powerplant.
In 2004, American magazine sports car international named the Enzo Ferrari number three on their list of Tops Sports Cars of 2000s .American magazine Motor Trend Classic named the Enzo as number four in their list of the ten "Greatest Ferraris of all time".
