Ferrari's Enzo delivered extraordinary on-track performance in MotorTrend's 2003 test when Ferrari test driver Dario Benuzzi aggressively piloted the limited-run supercar.
Benuzzi, Ferrari's test driver of 30 years, executed sprint-car-style drifts that produced a plume of white tire smoke while journalists rode in a red Enzo and technicians ran instrumented laps in a yellow car.
The Enzo was priced at about $650,000 and Ferrari planned a 399-unit run, with all cars reportedly sold ahead of production; Andrea Bertolini, an FIA N-GT racer, drove the instrumented car.
Technicians taped a magnetic GPS antenna to the Enzo's carbon-fiber body, stowed recording equipment behind the passenger seat, and noted the two test cars combined to 24 cylinders and 96 valves in total.
