Default Wow, saw an Enzo yesterday!

How many of these cars are there in the UK?

Looked even more exotic in the flesh.

Must be quite a few Enzo threads on SN, but I had to have my own!

I saw two at the Autosports show at the NEC this year. The first was one inside on display, the other, in silver, parked in the car park had the plate ENZ 1 .

They are amazing on the road aren't they!

There's one near me and it appears to be what the saying 'road presence' was made for

Not exactly a pretty car, but they do have a certain amount of road presence It just looks plain evil in black

Followed one last Sunday on the way too Goodwood. The reg number was ENZIII. It did seem a bit precarious driving through the narrow country lanes though. For road presence nothing comes close.

How can anyone given the opportunity to drive an ENZO wear a bloody bluetooth headset at the time.
You must be very important.

I was on the phone to a mate of mine who is a Ferrari nutter just so he could have a listen to me commonate on my drive and hear the luuuuuuuuuuuuuvy noise the engine made. He was not complimentary regarding my parentage!

IMHO the Enzo is a beautiful car, pictures just do not do it justice, only when you see one in the flesh can you really appreciate it from all angles.

IMHO, these are a nice addition if you already own every other car you've ever dreamed about, but to be honest give most petrol heads £1/2 a million and they would build up a whole fleet historic and current exotica cars for the same money. These are just for the flash chavs that want to stick it in your face how rich they are.

The reason i remarked "yuk" was because the first pic i saw of the car was of the back, (in earlier post) and that was the first thing i thought. The front/side shot was ok.

I will say i have never seen one of these in the metal, so my opinion could change.

And yes i do comprehend that it is an amazing piece of machinery etc,

Sorry if i offended anyone

LOL!

Each to their own I guess. I am not the sort of person to buy or wear a Ferrari jacket or something like that (I dont even do that for Subaru) but I do appreciate the look, pedigree, and presence of the car.

I fully appreciate it as a very desirable motor car and given the money, I would not hesitate.

I am glad I spotted it as had I been looking the other way I would have missed it completely.

No camera on me at the time, but I can report it was a red one at a BP station in Hounslow West of all places (just one step down from Monaco!). I avoided pulling into see who was driving it etc., perhaps if I had more time...

Awesome from any angle and circumstance.
