The Ferrari Enzo is one of the brightest highlights for the Italian carmaker. Not only did it have to carry on the bloodline of the 288 GTO, F40, and F50 but it was also named after the company’s founder, and that’s a lot to live up to. Fortunately, the Enzo delivered in every aspect and some 22 years after its launch, it has become one of the most prized Ferrari models ever.
A mere 400 examples were ever built and of these, 111 found their way into the U.S. Mecum Auctions has got its hands on one of these 111 units and is selling it next month. The car has been driven 27,090 km (16,833 miles) which is likely more than most other Enzos but it is still expected to sell for between $3.5 million and $4 million.

The car was originally painted in Rosso Corsa and delivered new to a Ferrari dealer in New York. The next owner decided he didn’t like the red and sent the car back to Ferrari for it to be repainted black. Months later, the engine was replaced under warranty after developing a technical problem. It was later sold to a new owner in Germany and resided there until 2009 when it came back on U.S. soil.
The Enzo has since been repainted in the original shade of red and is being sold with Ferrari Classiche certification and a Classiche Red Book.
Like most other Enzos, the interior of the car is dominated by areas of exposed carbon fiber but there are some premium touches like the black leather and Alcantara adorning the carbon fiber bucket seats. The Ferrari has also been equipped with full racing harnesses, making it an ideal billionaire track toy.
Generally, 16,000 miles may not sound like a lot but in the upper corner of the Ferrari world, where low mileage is the value maker, it could mean that this Enzo is the best example to drive and enjoy without worrying about residuals. And that makes it even more special.
