The Ferrari Enzo supercar, manufactured in 2004 with chassis number 135564 and Ferrari’s traditional Rosso Corsa red paint, was involved in an accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in the United States in 2006, causing the car to lose half of its rear body. At the time of the accident, the Enzo was traveling at 260 km/h. Given the severity of the damage, many thought the car could not be restored. However, the owner sent the remaining parts to Ferrari’s technical support service for “rebirth.”
After the restoration, the Enzo became like brand new and as if it had never been involved in an accident before. Instead of the original red color, the car was painted Nero Daytona black. Additionally, the multi-spoke rims were replaced with the original Enzo rims. Some details on the car were also upgraded to carbon fiber, such as the rear wing and mirror covers. The Enzo Ferrari signature was added to the rear of the car instead of just the Ferrari logo like other Enzo models.
The interior was also upgraded with an entertainment system featuring GPS and a backup camera. On the passenger side dashboard, the completion date of the car’s restoration on February 14, 2015, is noted along with the signatures of the technicians at the Ferrari center. The door panels and part of the dashboard were made of carbon fiber, while the seats were made of red leather and racing-style with 4-point safety belts. The Enzo also features an Alpine sound system, with the subwoofer located in the front trunk compartment.
The Enzo still features the familiar 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, with a maximum output of 651 horsepower and maximum torque of 657 Nm. However, it is unclear if the engine was restored from the half-body that was salvaged or if Ferrari installed a new engine. With this engine, the Enzo Ferrari can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 355 km/h. Since the restoration, the car has been driven more than 2,500 miles without any issues.
Currently, this once-accident-prone Ferrari Enzo is being auctioned off. Despite its tainted history, due to being restored like new by Ferrari, this powerful supercar is predicted to fetch no less than $2.17 million.
