Launched in 2002, the Ferrari Enzo is an icon, a status symbol that allows it to undergo performance enhancements in 2024.
“Without mastery, power is nothing.” This slogan, known to everyone if they had a television at the beginning of the 20th century, hints at the origin of the evolution the stunning Ferrari Enzo is undergoing in 2024.
This supercar, produced in 399 units (the 400th was gifted to the Vatican and then resold twice at auctions), was in 2002 the most spectacular car in the world. It served as a tribute to the numerous World Championships won in Formula 1 during that period, a prosperous time for Ferrari.
Its heart is obviously a 6.0-liter V12 engine open at 65° and developing 660 horsepower. Its weight, kept down thanks to carbon materials, claims only 1255 kg dry!
A shoemaker named Pirelli!
The “problem” with these divas is that nowadays their owners no longer keep them in museums, but drive thousands of kilometers with them. And they are right, because this way they share their passion with other motorists or passersby. But this also obliges tire manufacturers to meet their commitments: ensuring product availability for at least 30 years. However, the Ferrari Enzo is only 22 years old!
This is why Pirelli decided to update the tires specifically developed for the Ferrari Enzo: load, speed, mass distribution, sound comfort, grip, ease of driving, etc. Everything must match the character of the beast.
Thus was born a new Pirelli P Zero Corsa System available in the Collezione range with the original dimensions of the Ferrari Enzo: 245/35ZR19 at the front and 345/35ZZR19 at the rear. With two directional and asymmetric tread patterns, it provides better resistance to aquaplaning. And given the width of the tires, it’s better to avoid surfing on wet roads… Generally speaking, the overall performance of the Ferrari Enzo is improved thanks to modern materials and rubber blends.
The next car to benefit from a “performance evolution” with Pirelli in 2024 is the 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO. Happy 40th anniversary in advance!
