Ferrari Enzo Nordschleife lap: Time For Coffee?
RM is selling this Enzo tonight; time to remind ourselves what an incredible supercar it really is
Perhaps it's colour combination, Tour de France Blue with tan equal parts rare and gorgeous on an Enzo. Perhaps it's the interior, one that previewed so much of what we see in Ferraris today 15 years ago. Perhaps it's that sensational V12, suspended in the carbon tub like the finest piece of automotive art. Or perhaps it's just seeing a supercar on a normal numberplate - doesn't that look cool?
Whatever the case, it's one very special Enzo. But should you not have between £1.6m and £1.8m but still find yourself lusting after one, help is (sort of) at hand. Because here's a Nurburgring lap video.
This is not some tourist day posing either; this is a flat out, fully committed, I-really-wouldn't-want-an-Enzo-sideways-there kind of lap. And it's absolutely bloody superb. If you want a reminder of just how intimidating a really quick lap of the 'ring is in a really quick car is, watch this.
It's interesting to note too how supercars have evolved in fairly short space of time; Marc Basseng is driving the Enzo and is, well, occupied the whole way, the car pitching and moving around more than we've come to expect nowadays. The tyres squeal more too, and of course the F1 'box isn't quite as fast as a dual-clutch. But what a lap!
And the time? It would be a rude to give it away here, but the Enzo is a lot closer to the contemporary supercars than you might have first thought. Imagine what it could do on a set of Michelin Cup 2s...

It really is a small car in the flesh and a case of function over form. Looks very naff in the company of La Ferrari and even the 599 etc
Could never understand how the price of these sky rocketed after a couple of years, while the Carrera GT's values were flat for years either.
