In the United States, a Ferrari Enzo still belonging to its first owner has just reached 145,000 km on the clock, a mileage all the more rare for a supercar as it almost ended up in the scrapyard.
Do you know the Ferrari “MM” Enzo? This 2003 example, one of 400 produced between 2002 and 2004, earned its ‘Most Miles’ nickname by being known as the most-mileaged example. Its history has not been easy but continues and the car has just passed the 90,000 mile mark, or approximately 145,000 kmquite the opposite of the Enzo carefully stored for speculative purposes, and this in more ways than one.
A rolling supercar
This Ferrari Enzo was acquired new by an American named Richard Losee, who did not hesitate to entrust it, a few months later, to the journalists of Road And Track for a test of around 2,400 km. Shortly after, he again entrusted his supercar to the American publication for a long-term test of more than 16,000 km. Unfortunately, in 2006, while Richard Losee was speeding at the wheel of his Enzo during a charity event, he lost control and went off the road at very high speed. He took more than a year to recover from his injuries but kept the car, badly damaged. Never mind, Losee undertook to restore it by making some modifications. The MM Enzo then began its second life.
A twin-turbo Enzo Targa
Not only refurbished, the Italian received a pair of turbochargers during its repair, enough to allow its V12 to develop more than 800 horsepower against 660 originally. Thanks to this preparation, Richard Losee reached more than 385 km/h on the salt lake of Bonneville. It was also equipped with new doors, the upper part of which, which serves as the roof, had been cut beforehand, enough to transform the coupé into a Targa.
Today, he is the enthusiast known on social networks as Stackhouse which adds kilometers to the odometer of this Enzo, as part of an agreement with Richard Losee, which makes it possible to follow the adventures of the Ferrari MM Enzo almost day by day.
