The last Ferrari halo car built without electrification is heading to auction in one of its rarest configurations, and the estimate starts at $5.5 million. This particular Enzo is one of just nine examples commissioned to be painted in Argento Nurburgring, rather than the factory-standard Rosso Corsa, Giallo Modena, and Nero.
The supercar was originally ordered by a collector in the UK and stayed with the first owner for 15 years. It has since been relocated to Switzerland, where it remained until 2019, when it returned to the UK and was sold through DK Engineering.
While this is higher mileage than your typical Enzo, RM Sotheby's still expects it to sell for between $5.5 million and $6 million. This figure sits well below the yellow Enzo that Mecum sold earlier this year for a staggering $17.875 million, though that car had been driven just 649 miles (1,044 km) and was part of a broader sale of Phil Bachman's collection.
Adding to the desirability of this silver Enzo is the fact that it's one of just five that combines the Argento Nurburgring paint with a Rosso leather interior, and the only one delivered to the UK in this configuration. The cabin remains in excellent condition, showing minimal wear.
The engine driving the Ferrari Enzo is a 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12 with 660 hp, allowing the car to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.65 seconds. This impressive performance is a testament to Ferrari's commitment to building high-performance vehicles.
Plenty of Enzos sit in collections, but not many show up like this. One in nine, five with red leather, and zero reasons not to want one. The sale of this rare Enzo marks a significant milestone in the collector car market, highlighting the enduring appeal of Ferrari's iconic halo cars.
The fact that this Enzo has been certified by Ferrari Classiche further adds to its authenticity and value. Its provenance is impeccable, making it an attractive option for serious collectors and enthusiasts.
As the auction approaches, it will be interesting to see how bidders respond to the unique combination of this Enzo's rarity and historical significance. Will it fetch the estimated price range, or will it exceed expectations?
Ultimately, the sale of this rare Ferrari Enzo is a reminder that some collector cars are truly priceless, and their value lies not just in their monetary worth, but in their status as iconic symbols of automotive excellence.
