Enzo restyled by Pininfarina

jesus. There could be no better car, that is the pinnicle of what a supercar could look like. Pure sex. No amount of droolies could express how good that looks.

except for the wheels, very... unique.

Looks pretty cool. But the wheels are terrible imo.

Enzo still tops them all

You mean except for this is an Enzo underneath.. weighs like 400 lbs less and has more downforce and a lower drag coefficient.. I mean besides that the enzo wins hands down.

yeah, thats how the Enzo should have looked!

i think it's beautiful...but the exhaust sucks.

i was going to say there isn't much i can see in in the way of improvement unless they redesign the whole car - and whaddya know!

i wanna see interior shots though.

Very nice

, those wheels are pretty cool also.

the side profile reminds me a lot of a lambo..

I have always hated the Enzo. Crazy-ass performance, but downright butt-ugly for that kind of money. Didn't like it the first time I saw it, and it hasn't grown on me, either.

My first look at this car, and it takes my breath away. Gorgeous. Pininfarina...what else needs to be said?

I like the wheels. I think I understand the context, and heritage of where those come from. Reminds me vaguely of the old Campagnolo 5-spokers--or "Daytonas" or whatever you call them.

On the exhaust pipes, I was thinking "good ship lollypop," so I agree those are goofy. I wonder why they felt compelled to so defy convention, there? Has to be some technical reason.

The exhaust is unique. I guess this is one of the concept drawings.

Maybe they create turbulance of the air under the car. The stream over the car goes above them.

Solid aluminum.

Well dammit, I just went to look for my most recent Car and Driver (has an article about this car), and it seems someone has "borrowed" it. I could have sworn I saw a pick in there of the rims being made, and in the center they were not glued (so to speak) together. You could tell it was CF then. I wonder if the prototypes were different than the ones they put on the final car? Where are you getting this from?

Scrolled right past that.

EDIT: Saw the part on the wheels. Now I really want to find my C&D so I can figure out WTF I was looking at.

at first glance it looks like a concept car. this doesnt look like ferrari's type of styling, i do like it though. i know its from pinafarina but they do most of ferrari's styling anyways...
will this be offered through ferrari? as the next enzo model? i think its cool to have both models, though the original's styling never really grew on me.

i think if the smokestacks were chrome or cf they would look better. definitely original. if they do it, dont be suprised to start seeing similar antics on other supercars soon.

It's a one off. Read the article!

Put some of those flame throwers on that exhaust...

In the C&D article they mention that the last several Ferrari's have been pretty controversial designs and that what portion is actually pinafarina's will probably never to be revealed... so it sounds like that's one of the reasons they wanted to do this... to show what they can make w/o the manufacturer crimping their style.

if you have all that money just burning a whole in your pocket go for it?

Wow are those wheels ever stupid looking! Other than the wheels and that exhaust, I like! But won't that exhaust just throw carbon all over the spoiler?

Now some of it makes sense.

I'm sorry, but at 4 million dollars or $40,000, that car is ugly, especially the rims. Whats the deal with Ferrari lately and their rims

I absolutely love it!

Yes.. the wheels are ugly... but Ferrari had nothing to do with the design of this car except saying "OK, you can put Ferrari badges on it" once it was done.

Would also like to correct something I said before... it's over 600lbs lighter.

wow. i agree, much better than the original.

Looks like a Zonda from Behind.

I like the change.....wheels YUK!

This from the guy that bought a crossfire???? haha.

The car is gorgeous, except the exhaust just doesn't fit, and the wheels get a resounding, meh. . . and a shoulder shrug. They don't look great, and they don't particularly improve the lines of the car, but they don't look horrible either.

All in all, I think it is a fantastic homage to the classic P3/P4 racers.

Crossfire as a whole looks better than ANYTHING with those rims.

Whoah there, it's not like the EVO is the pinnacle of smoothly flowing automotive design either . . . besides, you won't even see how goofy the wheels are when the car is moving.

Evo has the goods....that is all it needs. The looks.....it looks like a rally car.

And you're implying that the P4/5 doesn't have the goods compared to your near stock Evo? I mean, it is only based off the Enzo, and 600lbs lighter and has better aero, it must be really slow and ponderous.
The Looks......it looks like a classic Ferrari endurance racing car.

I just don't see how you can remotely compare the two, lol.

Never compared the two. Obviously, my Evo isn't even close to the performance of the Enzo.

Amazing what some people see and what is really there. That side shot has more styling queues from the Ferrari P/3 P/4 than you can shake a stick at. It might remind 'you' of a Lambo but that lovely piece of work is more Ferrari than the thing everyone calls an Enzo.

The unbelievably non-Ferrari design that ended up being the Enzo namesake (turn head and stick finger in throat-looks like something that would make Enzo roll over in his grave) is a hell of a car but would never have been something Enzo would have approved of.

On the other hand, MISTER JAMES GLICKENHAUS and PININFARINA have created not only a masterpiece but the car the F60 (Enzo) should have been all along. Way to go!!!!

I see Ferrari is finally paying tribute to itself. I wanna see a new Dino.

Seriously, how many people who have a post in this thread actually red the article? 50%?

Anyway, I agree. Looks better but the exhaust and wheels just don't seem right.

I can't lie, I'm a sucker for Italians. That car is fantastic! Grazie Pininfarnia!

Maybe they should read the article instead of blathering nonsense... novel idea.

can you say bubble craft. blast off, to the moon that is

There's an article?

LOVE the glass. Love the shape, although there are straight-edge lines in there that I assume are for aero but they just jar me a bit. Don't mind the wheels one bit.

The most amazing thing to me is that they found a non-titled Enzo.

Probably found it at "Hollywood Auto Salvage."

What, can the guy who LEASED a Crossfire not have an opinion on the wheel selection on a FOUR MILLION DOLLAR CAR

All I was commenting on was the rims Brian, I'd think an Admin would set an example, not start flaming

This is why I said "with Ferrari lately", have you seen the rims on the 599

and now this car, come on now, its just my opinion and I thought we could do that here w/o repercusions! And as far as the Crossfire goes, well one things for sure, its not going to be confused with a Taurus or some other generic "jellybean styled" car from the mid 90's is it

In closing I never commented on the styling, I think it speaks for itself, all I said were the rims sucked and as far as that goes, the rims on my Crossfire look better than those IMO!

Seriously? AHHHH hahahaha!!! Can I have some of what you're smoking?

Yes, we should be able to do that, but everyone knows it doesn't happen that way here.

Your comment makes no sense because this car was not designed by Ferrari.. so you can't really say what's with them lately and include your dislike of these wheels. If you didn't reference these wheels in your comments of not liking Ferrari's wheel lately that would be fine.. but these are not Ferrari wheels.

Roger,

When did a dissenting opinion automatically become flaming?

AND IF YOU HAD READ THE ARTICLE, OR ANY OF SEVERAL POSTS ABOVE YOURS, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT FERRARI DID NOT DO THE STYLING ON THIS CAR.

um, since when is a dissenting opinion a repurcussion? or at least a serious one as you imply?

Sure, but it will get lumped into the same "goofy looking" category by most people.

How can you backpedal on this???? its clear as day for all to see!!!!

You really need to

a) get a thicker skin. Getting all offended when people disagree with you isn't a good thing for anyone.

b) fix your taste in car styling. I command you to go sit in front of an Aston Martin DB9 or AMV8 for 2 hours a day, every day for a month, and repeat "that is an incredibly sexy car" every 5 minutes. That should cure you.

I've got the thick skin, but some things are old hat and getting pretty tired here Brian and I'm certainly not singling you out. As far as being cured, well I'm sure sitting in an Aston would do the trick, but I'm looking forward to the day I'm out of my Crossfire and plant my azz into an EVO, then I'll be good to go

Sorry, I did say the car was ugly too, makes sense that wheels follow it there as well
