Should have been more laps though, tiff you rebel turning off the traction control!

His opinion was interesting though, but then again it's whatever flicks yer switch!

[rob.ellis]

was it just me, or did he seem scared of dario?

[GrahamJay]

hahaha, scared isn't the word!

[xsaravtr]

Much better than that Morris Minor on Drivel...

WHAT AN UGLY UNDER POWERED HEAP OF SHITE !

Please excuse me "shouting", but both me and the missus went "urgh!" when we saw it. And big deal, 600bhp from 6 litres. So what.

Rip off. Ugly, Bolt-on-boy car. Minging. All it needs is LED washer jets to set it off. If you liked this, you're a mug. Not a patch on former Ferrari's, no style (ok, an UGLY style), and over priced tat.

AM I the only one who thought this?

Gimme a Tiv, or a Lotus. Furry lost the plot with the F50, and still haven't found the way.

(and for those who laugh, my bike does 119bhp from 636cc, so that sort of pisses on the Enzo, huh? but that's not the point. One UGLY MOTHER of a car. Sooner drive a Skoda and have the change in my pocket).

Wouldn't call it S***TE, but certainly would call it ugly in pictures/TV. However, if you see it in the flesh you'll appreciate that the pictures don't do it justice (and all I've seen is the Hot Wheels model so far.....)

hhhmmm, gotta be said, I ride an R6 and i think i would probably choose the Enzo over that or a Skoda.
Maybe its just me though allways had funny taste.
Ferrari, Skoda? Ferrari, Skoda? Ferrari, Skoda?
nope sorry no matter how many times i say it the Ferrari wins.

[rob.ellis]

I'd question the use of the word "underpowered" to describe something with 600 bhp and if its people think its ugly - thats fine by me.

I like cars that provoke a reaction. And that car will REALLY provoke a reaction...! I love it

[andywaterfall]

Whatever you think of the car (and I think it's fugly), it was a darn good item.

[VictorMeldrew]

It might, MIGHT, grow on you like Lambos Countach, but it is somewhat dissappointing that Ferrari can no longer create something aesthetically pleasing as well as technically competent. Bellisimo it is not.

[dennisthemenace]

Got to agree with carl im afraid thought it looked friggin ugly , but then again with 600bhp who cares still think the maclaren F1 is the best looking and its 9 years old now ,

I think it's stunning in every respect..

Open your minds guys.. it makes the Murkylegoblock look like a Peugeot 607.

[911Targa]

I agree with everyone who thinks its ugly. Certainly wouldn't call it s**te though - it's a Ferrari!!!!! But yeah, they could have made it pretty like most of the others.

That aside, thought Tiff was kewl .. think he just had some ...some respect for the Ferrari test driver, hence the nervous reaction to him - yeah I know they didn't see eye to eye!

[JohnL]

Looks stunning to me.

But then I think a wedge looks better than a Chimaera, and my 1987 MR2 looks better than a 2001 MR2

600 bhp (in fact wasn't it 660?) underpowered! Mind you 220mph sounds a bit weedy, I'd've expected more like approaching 250. Don't know if there's anywhere in the world you could actually do it of course, track or otherwise.

Said to be stunning in the flesh , and I too like a bit of quirckiness now and then , certainly looks better than F50 .....

I was out tonight and cant get C5 through my Video is it repeated ?

[308gt4]

the car doesn't need defending, it's completely soldout before it even hit the sales floor to such an extent that Ferrari extended the production to another 50 cars!

I'll bet TVR, Lotus, AM and a few other manufacturers had THAT problem.

I'm biased naturally but the BEST looking car of ALL time is the ALFA Stradale, makes all others look very sad and it even had decent performance for it's day.

BTW a mate has ordered his Enzo for delivery next february and is taking it to the track for us to have a spin (well you can only drive a LHD on the track or trade plates here in Oz )

[gt2man]

First car with carbon ceramic brakes as standard Tiff said.. Bzzt. Wrong.

Aston Zagato has been sold out before production starts...

Definitely shades of "emperors new clothes" here. If it had a Daewoo badge on it, it would be universally criticised for its ugly shape.
