Enzo

The car this week is called the Ferrari Enzo. It has a 6 liter V-12 engine, which makes about 660 hp to the wheels. This engine, in my opinion, is completely breathtaking because of all of the engineering and technology that went into it. It is a 4-valve 4 overhead cam car with increased intake and exhaust ducts. Ferrari decided to hilarious about the market for this car, normally you could go to a dealership and pick one up off the showroom floor. But on the contrary they picked out about 400 hand picked people who had the opportunity to buy it. The thing that I thought was the coolest thing about this car was the complexity of the drive train and chassis during gear changes (which he explains in the video). I first heard about this car from the show top gear which is a British car show and they test and review cars that you and I will never be able to afford. But as far as after market parts go for this car I do not know of anything that you would want to do to this car, because, its pretty well off to begin with. Another thing that makes this car truly unique is that it has a formula 1 style steering wheel and is made so that when your in the car your not distracted by the radio and such. This is not exactly the most appealing car to the eye but I would not object to waking up to one in my garage every morning
