Pok, yes that is the interior on the XJ220... a new friend after this weekend... before too long, I'll give some driving impressions of that amazing car too! Such a nice guy who owns it!

If I never see another X1/9 it will be too soon
I've seen a few... this one did look t he best since it didn't have any goofy aftermarket anything on it.

I wonder if we will think the same about the Enzo in let's say 15 years. As far as it goes, seems like the F50 is already "lost" somewhere, always missing in this kind of exhibitions
The scale model looks AWESOME!!! 
Thanks for the pics Nth! :good: |
The Enzo will have a high value thanks to its relative scarcity which is accentuated by the tendency of its owners to trash about 2 cars a year. 
But still it looks garbage to me. Too much techno shit in it. Sounds great though I must say.
Sadly the F50 has been given the short shift by Ferrari enthusiasts. People seem to lusting for the Enzo or F40 instead. Value wise the F50 should be a golden investment. The engine sounds fantastic - as is expected of a detuned F1 V12 engine. Looks are its main problem - it doesnt look wild enough like the F40 or the Enzo. I must say, it looks much better in the flesh than in pictures |
I think the problem with the F50 was that it was a slower car compared to the F40. I however, think it's hogwash and would own an F50 in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
BTW, according to a thread on Fchat, there are something like 450 Enzo vin numbers. So maybe Ferrari is jerking it's customers about again?
Also, isn't there less F50's than Enzo's? |
Call me odd, but the F50 is the super Ferrari that got me into cars when I was 12-13 years old. Some say the car's lines are odd and like poorly molded lava flows... but I find it beautiful in a world full of harsh and extreme angles... don't get me wrong, I love those too... but the Ultimate ferrari to me is the 275 range... and the compound curve era is at en end... but the F50 harkens back to that.
An offer was produced for an F50 today... hopefully the owner takes it. It has a lot of work to be done, so it will be a while before its in the warehouse... and if the offer is refused... eventually, another F50 will pop up.
The Enzo is #301, and the 288 is one of about 67 with the particular interior option, and is very very easy to drive... and also very fun. There may be no power steering, and the wheel angle may still be a little odd... but its not as off as the F40, and the F50 less so.... the 288 is a drivers' car meant to be driven everywhere, and able to (as long as your local gas station has Turbo Blue 110 octane)
The Enzo is very different to the 288... LOUD is the word... CV @ 4000 rpm is impoooosible to almost think with the Tubi exhaust
