Went to the NEC on Sunday, and while I was there I thought I'd take a "quick" look at the Enzo.

IMHO it was just as ugly in the metal as it is in the pictures: It was a massive disapointment

I don't know if it was due to the color: Black. Although I thought this would have suited the car.

The front of the car looks awful, far to pointy.
Then there's those rear lights poking up from the body

It just didn't look "right" at all.

I was hoping and praying this car would be something special to look at, but NO.

Give me a 360 any day of the week!!!!!

It didn't look good.... oh dear.... but Jay - it can do 0-100mph in 6.2s - (i.e make a 360 at full throttle travelling look like its travelling in reverse) - You sure you'd rather have the baby Ferrari?!

I can't wait to see a Red one. In fact a yellow one too. As I said before, it really didn't do anything for me when I first saw it but the more I see of it.... I LOVE IT!!! Quite a few people in the UK are getting one... will probably see one floating around Egham soon!!! (I hope).

Jay,
I thought it looked great :-).
Great colour. I f I saw that on the road i would fill my trousers quick sharp.

Rich

Forgot to add the TVR T440R looked grat as well but the ENZO looked about 100 times more menacing.

Have to agree with Rich - I thought the enzo looked the dogs...especially in black - if I had the money I would definitely get one when (and if) they ever became available to the likes of me .......lot of ifs there aren't there...

The Enzo is a fantastic car: It's a Ferrari

However, the styling does nothing for me. Yeah, when your blasting to 120+ in 6.2seconds I could forgive the car ANYTHING.

BUT, and I think this is half the problem (there shouldn't be any BUT's with this car), I couldn't help thinking there are much prettier cars out there.

I, like you Manu, would like to see a red one in the flesh, and will reserve full judgement until I do.

Take the Lamborghini Murcielago (however you spell the bloody thing) for example. When I first laid eyes on it I thought WOW, having see one in the flesh it had even more WOW factor. I just didn't get that same feeling with the ENZO, and that's why I'm a little disappointed.

So, YES, I'd still take a "run-of-the-mill" 360. Thank you very much
