Like most companies, Ferrari is at its best when it’s doing something outside the box. An example would be like carving up a Ferrari 348 and shoe horning Ferrari Enzo running gear underneath. That is exactly what engineers did back in 2000. The company built a handful of Enzo development cars with the supercar’s 6 liter 670-horsepower V12 tucked into a 348 chassis.
It wasn’t exactly a pristine model straight out of the factory it is a little crude with an incomplete interior. Only one of these vehicles ever made it into private hands, and now it is for sale in Germany.
The body is stretched by 250mm to accommodate the V12, which got a welded aluminum air box and the oil radiator from the Ferrari 550. Then there’s the gearbox, brakes and suspension, all lifted from the 355 Challenge. The rear light assembly and interior instrument panel comes from the 360. The 348’s face has been modified with an asymmetrical air vent. The wings are made from composite materials, and rear wings are removable. The rear bumper has an air outlet and four exhaust pipes. All in, this Enzo prototype weighs just 1365kg.
In short it is a one of one machine, and while there’s no posted price, one of the readers should make the purchase from Modena MOTORSPORT in Langenfeld, Germany and tell us how great it is.
