Every so often, Ferrari has graced the automotive world with a new ultra-limited creation designed to showcase the latest Formula One technology in a production road car, each representing the state of the art at the time of their release. In the 1980s, Maranello engineers demonstrated the benefits of turbocharging with the pioneering performance of the homologation Ferrari 288 GTO, later utilizing the program to develop a new 40th-anniversary road car, the legendary Ferrari F40. The 1990s saw Formula One teams make giant leaps forward in technology with such advancements as active suspension, traction control, semi-automatic transmissions, and enhanced aerodynamics, reflected in the bristling innovations of the Ferrari F50 with its F1-derived naturally aspirated V12.

At the turn of the millennium, the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One Team was in the midst of an unprecedented period of dominance, having won the 1999, 2000, and 2001 Constructors' Championships and the 2000 and 2001 Drivers' Championships. In mid-2002, coinciding with Michael Schumacher's third consecutive Drivers' Championship for the Italian team, Ferrari debuted the Ferrari Enzo at the Paris Motor Show, named after il Commendatore himself and representing the zenith of the brand's technological innovations up to that point.

Never before had a road-going Ferrari's shape been so heavily dictated by aerodynamic efficiency. Its sleek carbon fiber and Kevlar-woven skin, penned by Pininfarina designer Ken Okuyama, was meticulously sculpted through extensive wind tunnel testing and saw the first use of active aerodynamics in the legendary supercar lineage. Breaking from the high-wing tradition of the F40 and F50, the Enzo instead utilized a subtle rear wing that raised and retracted in conjunction with front flaps hidden underneath the two front radiators to generate up to 758 pounds of downforce. Above 185 miles per hour, the aerodynamic aids reduced drag, enabling the Enzo to achieve its otherworldly 218 mile-per-hour top speed.

Beneath its clever, ultra-lightweight bodywork was an equally ingenious architecture consisting of a carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb monocoque tub weighing just 202 pounds. Attached to its aluminum subframes were unequal-length wishbones with pushrod-operated springs and electronically controlled shock absorbers that could be adjusted from the cabin, offering both a “Sport” mode and a “Race” setting. Carbon-ceramic brake discs some 14.9 inches in diameter were developed specifically for the Enzo by Brembo, and marked the first time that the technology, employed for years by the Formula One team, was implemented in a Ferrari road car.

Where the F50's V12 engine was an adaptation of the unit in the F92A Formula One car that left some drivers desiring more torque, the beating heart of the Enzo was an entirely new 65-degree, 6.0-liter V12. The naturally aspirated engine was specifically designed to deliver huge torque at low revs, with a maximum output of 660 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 484 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm. Mounted directly to the engine was an F1-derived, electrohydraulic-assisted paddle-shift six-speed transmission providing lightning-fast shift times of around 150 milliseconds.

While Ferrari had experimented in the past with bringing Formula One technology to the road, the Enzo was the first supercar of its kind to seamlessly integrate these technologies into a livable, everyday driving experience. The F40 and F50, while extremely quick on the track, had a reputation of being less than comfortable on the road. The Enzo, by contrast, offered excellent visibility, easy-to-operate steering wheel controls, minimal road noise, and a supple ride, all while being a full 2.1 seconds faster than the F50 around the short Fiorano test track! As a result, the Enzo's cutting-edge innovations-its compact V12, carbon ceramic brakes, and advanced aerodynamics-have been implemented in every modern Ferrari since.

Of the 400 Enzos built, just 111 were delivered to the United States. This impeccable example, chassis 131242, is one of them-made all the more remarkable by its ultra-rare Nero D.S. finish, a color applied to only 11 U.S.-delivered cars and a 12th example bound for Canada. Complemented by a Rosso leather interior, the car left Maranello as a 2003 model-year example per its factory-issued Certificate of Origin. The original pre-delivery inspection sheet confirms delivery through Barchetta Red, Inc. (now Ferrari of Long Island) in February 2003, accompanied by its owner's manuals in their leather pouch with a flashlight and a spare key.

Of the dozen North American Nero Enzos, chassis 131242 is the lowest mileage of all examples. Further still, the car is entirely complete from the day of delivery thanks to devoted care and methodical preservation of its sole owner since new. The trunk retains its tool kit, wheel socket, and tire inflator bags still wrapped in plastic, alongside the original three-piece fitted luggage set with red dust covers. Additionally, the original internal Pre-Delivery Vehicle Checklist from the dealer remains with the car, as does the Certificate of Origin with build photos and a letter addressed to the owner congratulating them on their purchase.

Mechanically, chassis 131242 remains as close to its factory-delivered state as one could hope to find. The odometer reads less than 450 miles, an extremely low number supported by a CARFAX Vehicle History Report documenting routine maintenance by the delivering dealer throughout its life. Most recently, in November 2024, the Enzo returned to Ferrari of Long Island for a seasonal service that included an oil and filter change, fresh brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant, a new battery, and attention to the inexorable ''sticky buttons'' issue.

Chassis 131242 presents today as one of Ferrari's most compelling hypercar time capsules from the turn of the millennium, preserved exactly as-delivered from the moment it left Maranello. With only 400 examples ever produced, and as one of a mere handful finished in this sophisticated livery, this painstakingly preserved, single-owner Enzo would make a breathtaking centerpiece in any supercar collection, or the crowning acquisition for a collector looking to complete the ''Big Six'' sextet of Ferrari supercars.
