From the Archive: 2004 Ferrari Enzo:
At Ferrari's test track, Benuzzi stretches the new 6.0-liter V-12 to the 8200-rpm rev limiter — exhaust howling — in first, second, third, then fourth gear, and we flash through the left-hand chink at 150 mph . Benuzzi is grinning, knowing what comes next. He hits the brakes, left hand simultaneously tapping the paddle to downshift, revs automatically soaring between each 0.15-second shift. The brakes growl, the 19-inch Bridgestone Scuderia rubber scrambles for grip.
Officially, the supercar is the Ferrari Enzo Ferrari, but Maranello realistically acknowledges it as just the "Enzo." In virtually every area, this spiritual successor to the 288GTO, F40, and F50 steps outside Ferrari's existing order. The Enzo pushes road-car technology barriers and incorporates enough Formula 1 philosophy to go far beyond merely celebrating Ferrari's three consecutive world-championship titles.
In imitation of Ferrari F1 driver Schumacher's Sunday car, many controls are located on the steering wheel along with warning lights that flash in 500-rpm segments beyond 5500 rpm.You shift gears F1-style, without a clutch pedal, via column-mounted paddles just behind the steering wheel. Unlike the 360/575M, there's no auto mode. The Enzo slides smoothly away, no awkward clutch takeup.
