Yes, Maserati will build a racer based on the Enzo engine (in the pics it still has also the Enzo bodywork... it will be probably called 6000GT and... there will be also some roadgoing model!!!!!!!!
I'm so curious about the final body...

Maserati or Ferrari...whatever the hell that thing is or will be I would love to have!

TT · 07-12-2003, 06:25 AM

Dang, I fear the Maser body will not be so cool and... exotic.. it would be marvellous to see an Enzo bodied GT, but I guess it's impossible...

WOW, what would be so sweet to see, is there a vid attached somewhere where we could see it? That would be such a great racing car, they should jsut leave the Enzo body the way it is.

TT · 07-12-2003, 03:34 PM

Still no vids afaik.. and I agree about the body.. but if it has to be a Maser, thay can't keep the Enzo's body

BTW, the Enzo in this "Mad Max" black is marvellous IMO!

is it me, or does the enzo look pretty sweet with the massive drift wing?

TT · 07-13-2003, 05:06 AM

Nope.. it's me too

i get what you mean and thats how the man started the great company. also in those days i dont think accountants had much influence in building cars. but today accountants are in the way of building more than just a supercar. i was just using the mclaren for reference

I think it's cool that they're going racing with it. I wish Ferrari were more involved with sportscar racing in general, but unfortunately they focus mostly on F1 (although the 575s and 360s are showing up more and more)

That Enzo looks awesome, I love the wing!

I'd love to see more of Ferrari in sportscar racing, but they focus on F1 only. Hence the reason they do so well. F1 is becoming more and more of a money pissing contest. As much as I like it, I'm losing interest in F1.

Just because Ferrari doesn't have a factory backed car in most racing leagues doesn't mean they can't be there. Private teams can still run them. There are a few in the GT and GTS classes running in ALMS. Prodrive has two 550 Marenellos (David Brabham and Dane Jan Magnussen are driving one car, should be one hell of a team, hopefully it'll give some competition to the Vettes)
ACEMCO is running a F360, Risi Competizione is running two F360's and JMB racing is also running two F360s. Last but not least, Team Olive Green is still running ther 550. A great year for ALMS fans. (GT class is my favorite) There is also a Zonda from Carsport and a Lamboghini Diable GTR with Vici Racing. I doubt the Diable will be running all the races though.

Ferrari dominates F1 and Porsche dominates Sportscar racing. There are just under twenty GT3 RS's in GT and GTS classes! Even the Speed World Challenge has a large Porsche presence. They don't dominate it, but they do good. IMHO, The Speed World Challenge is incredibly diverse. One reason why it's so good.

Porsche's attitude towards sportscar racing is dead on. Hence the reason they are so successfull with it. Too bad they eliminated BMW from it ALMS. Bastards!

All in all, I'd love to see Ferrari to offically sponser a team in form of racing other than F1. Sadly, it isn't going to happen anytime soon.

dam that thing looks nice in black.
Why didn't the Enzo come in black?

stracing · 07-14-2003, 12:49 AM

i'm sure it did
tthe colours were red yellow and black?

666fast · 07-14-2003, 01:22 AM

It does come in black, which looks very good!

the Zonda comes in black also, it looks fucking superb!
