[racer_f50]

yep, he's had that one for quite some time now.
there was an article in CAR magazine with him and his Enzo (at least i think it was CAR, could have been a nother).

black enzos are definitely sexy machines :twisted:

the only thing i'd change about his is the dark green leather interior. i'd rather have red :)

[ferrari550]

his music is not really popular in North America but it is fairly popular in the UK i think, but besides that, he signed a new record deal which i'm sure was enough to buy an enzo

[TT]

Hell I don't like his music but he had lot of success the last years here in Europe...

[dropot2]

the front spoiler of this enzo is a bit different, isn't it?or am I wrong?

You are right, it was an article in CAR in June last year. (issue 490). They picked it up in Maranello in April if I understand it correct.

it is, it's a special edition, made especially for Jay Kay...

[gigdy]

Im surprised he was able to get one. I know they were being uber picky. Like you had to of owned a f40 and f40. Not sure tho

[KaBlookie]

yea, jay kay is a car enthusiast...you'd be surprised at the Lambos and Ferraris he already has...

anyone have any more info as to what's "special" about this "special edition" Enzo?

[dylan99]

I think he's got a regular Enzo there are no options for the Enzo.

[hwe]

I'll take a look in the article again to see if there is anything special about it other than beeing an Enzo (special enough in itself I'd say)

[levensnevel]

One special thing bout JayKay's Enzo which I remember was the lively discussion after GFOS2003.
JayKay visited Goodwood with his black Enzo. When he parked his car it became covered with dust. Subsequently a smartass XXL wrote something on the bonnet and a picture was taken which circulated on the Inet.
The discussion centered around the do's and do nots while visiting events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

though after a quick search on the Inet
Suppose that if you 'google' around a bit longer you'll be able to dig them up :mrgreen:

[S0300182]

He's had that for more than a year, so it aint a new toy for him but he is a lucky bastard, and dat black looks cool, there was a pic of a white enzo in car gallery, dat werent nice

[No.1]

Get a grip man... there is only one Enzo. There was only one official trim option and limited editions do not exist. The only people who stand a chance of aquiring any type of custom Ferrari from Ferrari direct are their most treasured customers ( the Sultan Of Brunei - 456GT Venice). Jay Kay has got a standard Enzo!

Also... The White Enzo may exist, but Ferrari offered only Red, Black and Yellow as colour options.

(This was my first real post... hope you liked)

P.S. - as for it being "specially made for Jay Kay", interior trim colour was an option, as was seat fitting but thats all.. this is just another Enzo (but they are bloody amazing).

[oantob]

thanks for that black enzo levensnevel...anyone have more pics of the white enzo?

[Fleischmann]

Nice to now that such a car is going into the appropriate mans hands. This is a car for driving, it shouldn't stand in the garage. And JK surely gives his Miura a nice kick in it's fine ass :)

[marciodcmendes]

So guys have all the luck in the world. I saw a vid featuring jay kay's miura... ANd now this!!! What else does he have? Does anyone know his "Collection"?

[oantob]

So guys have all the luck in the world. I saw a vid featuring jay kay's miura... ANd now this!!! What else does he have? Does anyone know his "Collection"?

what i got from times online:

1. Lamborghini Miura SV (1972) – £250,000
One of seven right-hand-drive cars made — with 385bhp and 180mph potential, the ultimate evolution of world’s first mid-engined supercar.

2. BMW 1602 (1972) – £5,000
Kay’s first car. Delightful 1.6-litre saloon.

3. Bentley S1 Continental Park Ward drophead (1958) – £175,000
Rare and elegant, in its era the ultimate way to arrive.

4. Mercedes 300 SL roadster (1963) – £180,000
The first true post-war supercar, capable of 150mph.

5. Aston Martin DB5 (1964) – £125,000
Transport of choice for James Bond.

6. BMW 2002 Turbo (1974) – £18,000
One of the first turbo-cars ever sold.

7. Ferrari 360 Spyder – £100,000
No roof, so you hear the 400bhp V8 even better.

8. Ferrari 250 GTO replica – £200,000
Almost as good as the real thing.

9. Ferrari 550 Maranello – £85,000
Generally considered Ferrari's best car of recent years.

10. Mercedes 600 Pullman (1973) – £100,000
Formerly owned by Coco Chanel.

11. Mercedes 600 short wheelbase (1968) – £50,000
An unlikely performance car with big power despite sedate looks.

12. Bentley Arnage Turbo – £100,000
The original tidal wave on wheels and still the fastest four door car in production.

13. Audi RS6 – £50,000
Audi’s answer to the BMW M5 and, with 450bhp, a pretty convincing one at that.

14. Audi RS4 – £30,000
A 380bhp, A4-based estate — the ultimate all-rounder?

15. Three Mercedes G-Wagens – £40,000 (approx) each

i wonder if he ever bored, i surely want one of his collection... except the BMW 1602

[marciodcmendes]

Amazing... Thanks, oantob!!! :wink:

[MIHALS]

I'm sure he's got Diablo - I think not just one, F50, miura, this Enzo.....have u seen some his videoclip? Cosmic girl, Space cowboy???? There he shows his babies!!!! Find and download>they are gr8 clips!!!

[No.1]

the front spoiler of this enzo is a bit different, isn't it?or am I wrong?

it is, it's a special edition, made especially for Jay Kay...

No! Why would they make a special edition for him(!):roll: Honestley...

As far as the front spoiler goes... it is stock! It looks different because most of the Enzos on the net are red and the reflection/angle of the shot disguises the litle lip on the end.

If they did make a "special edition" why would they change the spoiler? This would change the aerodynamic properties of the car, and therefore its performance. If Ferrari found a modification that was beneficial then surely they would apply this to all of the cars.

Great pic... but saw it ages ago (summer), he's had it for almost six months now. Still, it's the first time i have seen it on the net.... its now safely stored on my hard drive :wink: .

As far as Jay Kays Muira is concerned it is lime green (i dont know the official colour name!), and not red as one of you asked.

In the music vids some of the cars are borrowed... i read an article somewhere (maybe Car magazine?). He certainly does not own am F50, but he has (or had) a purple Diablo

[MIHALS]

okay :wink: you know more :oops:

[oantob]

thanks for the info "thenumber1"...
you're no 1 fan of jay kay if you know all of that?

First Jay Kay has very strong links with Ferrari...he has played at many of their special anniversary days (the recent one at goodwood for example) and even composed some music for them....he can also be seen at many of the VIP dinners providing entertainment throughout the F1 Calendar...he is also a very good customer of course.

He used to own a Viola Diablo SE30 that was for sale at Lamborghini London a few years ago that I had the chance to buy.

Another bit of Jay Kay trivia...he composed the opening theme music to ITV'S F1 coverage that I upload on JW.

where can we hear it jabba? at what section..

[Jabba]

The formula one section...but the videos are long since gone....

[oantob]

thanks jabba :D

[Riese1825]

You know what i don't get? All these rich fags who buy these really nice, fast, and expensive cars around don't use them for what they can do. All i see them being used by is rich white buisness wieners who drive 25.1 in a 25 zone. It's just annoying that all these beauties are limited to wealth. Oh well, i love my mom's dodge caravan. Oh yeah, it's a GRAND caravan. haha.

JK is a TRUE car nut as far as I know.. so not really into that cathegory IMO

[Jabba]

Very true TT...I am sure will all remember Jay hammering around in his Miura SV on Top Gear.

[jumpman23]

Wait a sec, this guy is a singer? I havent heard of him, yet he's popular enough to get an Enzo.

[Schwalbe]

how does Jay Kay make enough money to buy these cars?


This is the reason why people want free music !

[oantob]

thats true.. kazza 4 ever...
btw,
Wait a sec, this guy is a singer? I havent heard of him, yet he's popular enough to get an Enzo.
yes he is a singer in a band called Jamiroquai.. and he is quite popular... he makes the godzilla soundtrack.. do u know that movie??

[adlinyusman]

Okay guys this is the official list of cars which Jay Kay Owns. (well at least the ones he admits to having owned or owns at one point or another)

Most of what i'm about to say is quoted from Jay Kay himself

"I haven't got two cars that do the same job. I don't have say a Mercedes Benz S Class and a Bentley."

But he does have Three Ferraris though. (well actually, four.)

Ferrari 550 Maranello, 360 Modena Spider in Grigio, and the Enzo in Nero registered plate number V17 JET (UK license plate.) And he also has a 250 GTO replica built by William Favre.

He also has a right hand drive 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV which is one of seven in the world.

He also owns a 1964 Aston Martin DB5, "One of the last 29 built, with the alloy block, bonnet, bootlid and doors."

Unbelievably he also has the 1963 Mercedes Benz 300SL roadster, 1968 Mercedes Benz 600 SWB, 1974 Mercedes Benz 600 Pullman (ex Coco Chanel). And the 1972 BMW 2002 Turbo.

"I reckon i'll get 205mph in the Enzo. Two-oh-five, and then i'll lose my bottle."

:shock: :shock:

[chaos]

As far as Jay Kays Muira is concerned it is lime green (i dont know the official colour name!), and not red as one of you asked.


no its def red.

[Sir_GT]

Aside from the music, I read somewhere that he was already rich to begin with, and that the success of Jamiroquai simply added to his funds.

He's a real car nut though. :)

Okay... i might be wrong, but i am 70% sure...

BUT, why the hell did you revive this topic two months after it was last posted in.... :?

[Drogear]

I dont know why you would want to get a black enzo! The whole point of having an enzo is letting people know that you have one. It sould be a flashy color like a red or yellow. A flashy color for a flashy car!

[No.1]

^^^^
i think the black car is better looking, but i see your point. The black makes it look like a stealth car... the red is a little too over the top(if that's possible :wink: )

[chaos]

BUT, why the hell did you revive this topic two months after it was last posted in.... :?

i did a search to find something and saw the topic then.
reviving old topics doesnt (in my eyes) do an harm.
i wont do it again if ppl object ????

[PATo355]

Its ok man , this interested you so we can go in deep with the topic :D

Btw i am searching the Top Gear episode where the Miura was tested ( jay kays one ) , wait ...

Okay... I don't have a problem, and i really don't mind that old topics are reopened :)

PS... You seem to be right. :oops: And does that mean that the Muira (edited from "Enzo" :roll:) on Top Gear (lime green) wasn't Jay Kay's own? That means Pato's vid isn't of Jay Kay's Muira... :?

[chaos]

i missed the top gear with lime green enzo, but i beleive jay kays one is black.
havent seen pato's vid of a miura either.

[No.1]

no its def red.

but i beleive jay kays one is black. .

ithe black comment was about the enzo.
hence the FULL quote actually being

Sorry... my fault... :roll:

I have never seen a lime green Enzo in my life.. sorry for the confusion in my previous post where i wrote Enzo instead of Muira... :wink:

[tay]

Yeah, Fifth Gear just went to his house and saw his collection. The Miura, 360 and Enzo weren't there but his Rolls, Beemer, Mercs and others were shown.

[digo]

Here his the episode
http://gear.viper007bond.com/downloads.php?display=37 Nice Collection.. :D

[The Transporter]

I downloaded the episode ... but I didn't understand what he said about the enzo ... someone can help ?

Thanks

[The Transporter]

I listened carefully again and again ... does he say that it need new tires ? that's why the enzo is not there ?
Am I right ? :)

[TT]

Yes I think I remember he said the car was not there because it needed new tires.

[The Transporter]

Thanks alot TT :) always there to help :p 8)

[bobafett]

the number1: You can get an Enzo in any color you want. I know someone with a pozzi blue one. I have also seen a silver one. And yes, there are a few white ones too. Orange, etc.

--Dan

[TT]

Luckily nobody ordered it pink :P but it would be for sure pretty rare :D

BTW, one of the white Enzos is in Lausanne's area ;) I'm keeping my eyes wide open as always!

[oantob]

Yes I think I remember he said the car was not there because it needed new tires.
what, already? what did he did to his car? Burnout that enzo...? :wink:

Yes one Pozzi Blue and one TDF blue , the orange is called Rosso Scuderia

[bobafett]

Exactly right, Pato. Check the Enzo Registry, I'm sure there are more blue ones.
