Ferrari Enzo Ferrari

:The vehicle is literally named "Enzo Ferrari", not "Ferrari Enzo" as would be more typical. For reasons of consistency, and to avoid conflict with the article on Enzo Ferrari, this article name was chosen.

Production

The Enzo was initially announced with a limited production run of 349 units. The company sent invitations to existing customers, and all 349 cars were sold in this way before production began. Later, after numerous requests, Ferrari decided to build 50 more Enzos, bringing the total to 399.

In March 2005, Ferrari announced that it would build one additional Enzo, bringing the total to 400. The car was ceremonially presented to Pope John Paul II on January 17, 2005, with the Pope then requesting that the car be auctioned off to benefit the Caritas charity. This car was auctioned by Sotheby's on June 28, 2005 to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami. The car, chassis number 141920, sold for 1,055,000 euros (1,275,000 US dollars).

Three prototype "mules" were built, M1, M2, and M3. Each was bodied to look like a 348, even though the mules were built in 2000. The third mule was offered for auction alongside the 400th Enzo in June, 2005, bringing 195,500 euros (236,300 US dollars).
