Gallery: 2003 Ferrari Enzo Coupe
DESCRIPTION:
2003 Ferrari Enzo Coupe, It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fiber body, F1-style sequential shift transmission, and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics! After a downforce of 1709 lbs. is reached at 186mph the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce! The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company Maserati's Quattroporte, using the same basic architecture. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The engine is Ferrari's F140 65 degree V12 with 4 valves per cylinder, dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. Bosch Motronic ME7 fuel injection is used and the engine is naturally aspirated. It displaces 366inches and produces 660hp at 7800 rpm and 485 lbs. ft. of Torque at 5500 rpm! The redline is 8200 rpm! The Enzo has an F-1 Transmission using paddles to control an automated shifting and clutch mechanism! LED lights on the steering wheel tell the driver when to change gears and the gearbox has a shift time of just 150 milliseconds. The Enzo Ferrari has 4 wheel independent suspension with push-rod actuated shock absorbers which can be adjusted from the cabin, complemented with anti-roll bars at the front and rear. The Enzo uses 19inch wheels and has 15inch Brembo disc brakes.
