The 24-hour online auction, starting June 29, will feature RM Sotheby’s at least the only Ferrari Enzo from the factory in white.
According to the auction house, Ferrari made only 400 Enzo, of which 20 “ExtraCompanio” cars were finished in non-standard colors. Part of the next group, this car-chassis 133023-is the only Enzo that Bianco Avas left the factory in white.
Completed May 22, 2003, the white Enzo features a Nero (black) leather interior with a Rosso Corsa (Racing Red) instrument and extra-large carbon-fiber bucket seats with 3D black fabric inserts.

Enzo was Ferrari’s flagship supercar in the early 2000’s, leaving behind the F40 and F50. It featured a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and a paddle-shifted 6-speed transmission উভ both were fairly fancy in supercars at the time.
A normally ambitious 6.0-liter V-12 produces 650 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque, the drive only goes on the rear wheels. The mid-mounted engine propels the Enzo to 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph. These numbers seem less impressive than today’s supercars, but the Enzo was one of the fastest-growing cars of its time.
The Enzo Monocoque and engine Maserati were also used for the MC12, although extensive changes were made to make the MC12 suitable for racing. Ferrari has also developed a track-only Enzo derivative — FXX.

The Chassis 133023 received Ferrari Classic certification in November 2012, and received a full annual service from a Hong Kong-based Ferrari-approved dealer, according to the auction list. Even a wrecked and recovered Enzo brought $ 1.75 million to auction in 2016, so this car will probably attract very high bids.
Ferrari eventually launched an Enzo successor in the form of LaFerrari, which has become collectible in its own right. And it’s time for Ferrari to launch another flagship supercar. Ferrari tends to launch these every 10 years, and it’s been almost a decade since LaFerrari debuted. We even examined a possible LaFerrari successor.
