Fastest ever Ferrari Enzo

The Ferrari Enzo is the ultimate car from the Italian masters.

With 650bhp and 485lb/ft of pulling power, the hypercar will accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.65 seconds and hit 217mph.

It's an engineering masterpiece with Ferrari aficionados Jay Kay, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and Nick Mason all owning models.

However, for some people 217mph is not enough because German tuners Edo Competition have created the Enzo XX, giving the standard car a bit more oomph by fiddling with the engine, air filter and exhaust manifolds. It now gets carbon ceramic brakes with overall weight reduced by 100kg.

The engine's capacity has been increased from 6-litres to 6.3-litres with the Enzo XX now boasting an epic 800bhp and 575lb/ft of pulling power.

As a result the Edo Enzo will accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds, 0-124mph in 9 seconds and 0-186mph in 19 seconds.

With a top speed of 236mph it's a mentally quick car, destroying the standard Enzo's 217mph v-max but would you really want to buy one?

As a standard car the Enzo is brilliantly brilliant with just 399 standard models ever built. But since it was launched in 2002 a load of these hypercars have been be written off with one Canadian model spontaneously combusting a couple of weeks ago.

When our man Vijay saw the footage he turned the air blue with obscenities before sitting in the corner crying. He didn't really, but he was quite upset.

So we're not sure modifying something as pure as the Enzo is worth doing, particularly because it's one of those rare cars which is appreciating in value. With an original price-tag of £450,000, you'll find it hard to buy one for less than £800,000 today.
