It will probably be: which one spins fastest.

No Enzo?
How can a car programme [Top Gear] or Clarkson be taken seriously if they wont feature an Enzo.
I was told Ferrari wont lend TopGear an Enzo for fear of the Zonda being faster on thier test track but surely JK would give Jeremy a run in it?
Still looking foward to this.

Is that the reason why top gear has never tested the enzo yet?? you think they would know what the car is capable of with all the power and technology they put into it. Ferrari should let top gear test one, i think it will be faster, maybe not by much, but i think it will be depending on who's driving.

How could they have already tested it if last season ended before the Enzo was officially on the road?

Ofcourse ferrari wont let Top Gear test the Enzo. Ferrari Factory has only 1!!!Enzo in their museum. All the rest are sold to their customers. Its car owners who give Top Gear their cars, so, so far JK is the only hope.

This is from a Car & Driver article:
See, Ferrari doesn't lend out Enzos for magazine tests. As with the F40 and F50, we had to track down an owner in the U.S., someone who would let us drive an Enzo around without putting it through the pricey punishment of actual testing. That's when something good really did happen. We met Bob Rapp.

If you're the owner of an Enzo, would you let jeremy drive it? Especially after the incident with the jag c-type, really doubt any sane individual would let top gear borrow a car. The new brakes and tires required after the "testing" would probably cost more than $100k! Would be interest to see if the ceremic rotors can tolerate jeremy's and stig's abuse

I can see them not testing an Enzo.... at least for a while, but I think they should really get a 360 CS. I think it would be ridiculously quick and might give us a little perspective on the Enzo's capabilities on their track.
