track has
always
been the
testing
ground for
the
advanced
technological research that later went into Ferrari's road
cars.They very first ferrari, built in 1947, was a 12-cylinder
racing car. From that first 12-cylinder, 126 more were born,
destined for both track and road. The Enzo Ferrari is not
only the marque's latest V12, it is also a prinnacle of
excellence drawing on the experience of victories in the last
four years of the formula 1 World championship, thus
endowed with the very latest automotive technology.
Company founder Enzo Ferrari always felt that design of the
road cars should stem from the racers. Therefore, it was
entirely logical that the company's latest creation should
bear his name. The Enzo, built in a limited run of 399, is an
outstanding expression of the concept of extreme
sportiness, developed for road use, yet epitomizing the
most advanced concepts of Formula 1 racing technology
Ferrari set out to develop the Enzo as an integrated system
designedfor extreme performance, in which even the limits
of the performance achievable by the driver were
enhanced, thanks to a man-machine interface typical of
Formula 1.
Never before has style been drived so directly from
function as in this model. pinifarina wanted to create an
uncompromising car that would break away from the
approach used for the GTO, F40 and F50 that preceded it,
to develop a new formal language that looked to the future.
The engineers tried to create visual links with the world of
Formula 1, to which the Enzo owes its technology, while
highlighting its compactness and lightness. The result is a
complex, sculpted form.
Aerodynamics
in developing the Enzo, Ferrari set it self two pure
performance targets which would represent a milestone for
ultra-fast cars: to increase the grip limit inmedium-fast
bends by increasing downforce (lateral dynamics) while
maintaining a very high top speed, over 350 km/h
(longitudinal dynamics.)
This meant that different aerodynamic configurations with
contrasting characteristics had to coexist on the samecar.
