Alonso raced with the Scuderia Ferrari team from 2010 until 2014. The carmaker created the Enzo from 2002 till 2004. It’s unspecified in the auction description how he managed to obtain this extraordinary example of the supercar.
The Enzo possessed an exterior that summoned memories of a Formula One vehicle. This posh ride was outfitted with a 6.0-liter V12 engine, generating 651 horsepower at 7,800 rpm without the need for a blower. The transmission was a six-speed automated manual and Ferrari only manufactured 400 of them. At present, they are transacted for amounts surpassing $1 million.
Alonso is certainly not the only Formula 1 driver to be fortunate enough to own an Enzo. Ferrari even built a bespoke version of it for Michael Schumacher as a present. This special car was equipped with various amenities such as powered windows, a Bose sound system, Rosso Scuderia brake calipers and the Schumi logo embroidered on the door sills and seats. Some touches included the signature of the renowned racer along with that of his then boss – Luca di Montezemolo – on its hood.
