so say if you had the choice between a shiny no milage black Enzo or a shiny black no milage Veyron which one would it be?

there sitting there you cant pick options. The reasoning behind it would be appreciated to smile

Veyron for me - have heard so may good things about it. I'm sure the Enzo is "the sensible buy", but the Veyron seems a better freebie.

Not sure I'd go for either if it was my own money because I'd much rather have a selection of decent cars for the same money, but given your already amazing car collection, I think it would have to be the veyron purely because of the sheer engineering brilliance and the fact that it hasn't been stripped or compromised as much as the enzo in order to get the performance figures that it has!

Veyron - you have to admire the engineering that went in to it to make it possible. Also I'm not a fan of Fezzas.

Given the current stable of yours, I'd be inclined to go for the Enzo, for collectability and its sheer menace...how often do you get offered a nero Enzo? Then possibly shift on the red one for a Veyron....you'll probably get more than one chance to own a V.

I would buy a Veyron...in years to come we will still marvel at the engineering of this car.

By Buying a Veyron you will be owning a peice of history and joining a club far more exclusive than Enzo owners imo.

Now please go get it and post some pictures, so the rest of the board can thank me for my GREAT advice biggrin

Probably the Veyron, just to experience it. But I'd end up selling it soon after and getting a Carrera GT and a host of other cars.

Neither, I wouldn't buy a black car unless I had minions to clean it! I'd buy the Veyron, In black and blue, like Ettore would have wanted. Or like the press car, cream and powder blue/silver. I am not a Ferrari man sorry.

ENZO, its more of a real raw supercar. Veyron seems a bit too posh!

obviously you have done exceptionally well for yourself (doffs his cap), is there a lot of difference in maintenance costs? does the factory look after the Veyron?
try and get one with a good bit of tax on it!!

Whilst I have often made my opinions of the Veyron clear, given the choice of the two I'd go for the Veyron. The Enzo is a great car but the moment you drive it it will have lost a fair bit of it's value (you said it was zero milage) whereas they are still making the Veyron. And besides, you already have an Enzo.

Great decision to have to make smile

Ordinarily, I'd say Enzo every time, BUT, you already have one, so I'd only recommend (in my hugely qualified opinion of course wink) that course if you intend to keep the black one as a show piece and track the living daylights out of your red one (or vice versa).

Failing that, couldn't you just put a wrap on the Enzo on the days you wanted a black one and get the Veyron - best of both worlds?

I wouldnt say there are plenty of BLACK Enzo's about and as production has halted, they're not that available. Aren't Bug's still being made in the current spec? I would have thought there are more than 400 of them too.

Sensible hat on for a moment - running costs of a Veyron will be huge, even compared to an Enzo. I'm sure you know this already, but it would be why I'd go for the black Enzo. I know, if you can afford the car you can afford to run it - but excessive running costs would spoil the fun for me regardless of affordability.

The Enzo is a fantastic handling car and a real race car for the road in some respects, yet the Veyron can whisk you across Europe in no time and in comfort.

Enzo for me, but it comes down to personal decision at the end of the day.

Veyron.

Dare I say it - more subtle than an Enzo. Gives the impression you could use it as a daily driver and it would remain bullet proof. Also image. An Enzo screams 'look at how rich I am', whereas I think a Bugatti oozes an elegance and style that an Enzo could only dream of.

Also the interior of the Bug is just soooooo nice.

I guess mny reasons are very shallow - I would much rather roll up to a nice restaurant in a Veyron, than in an Enzo.
