If your knowledge of the Ferrari Enzo comes solely from magazine spreads and Project Gotham Racing, it's understandable to think that all 399 units are either red, yellow, or black. However, true to Ferrari's bespoke nature, customers could select their preferred color. In fact, nine buyers opted for Argento Nürburgring, a unique shade of silver. One of these vehicles will be available at RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction on April 25.
The Enzo succeeded the 288 GTO, F40, and F50, and while it has since been succeeded by the LaFerrari and F80, its angular design continues to appear cutting-edge. It was also the final flagship Ferrari equipped with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, a 6.0-liter unit generating 650 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque. Although this power may seem modest in today’s world of hybrid Ferraris boasting thousands of horsepower, it still enabled a 0-62 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a maximum speed of 217 mph.
Standard color options included Rosso Corsa (red), Giallo Modena (yellow), and Nero (black), but customers could order other colors for an additional fee. This makes the choice of Argento Nürburgring for chassis number 37754 particularly notable, even if silver may not be the most exciting color on its own. The nine silver Enzos are part of an estimated 20 in non-standard colors, or “Extracampionario,” alongside one in Bianco Avus (white) and another in matte black, Nero Opaco, instead of the usual gloss finish.
The exterior color is complemented by a Rosso leather interior, making number 37754 even more exclusive. Only five of the silver Enzos featured this interior color, and 37754 is unique as the only one originally delivered to the United Kingdom. It also comes with extra-large seats, four-point harnesses, and a red tachometer.
The car was given to its first owner in 2004 and stayed with them for 15 years, even gracing the cover of Auto Italia magazine's issue 158 alongside a Maserati MC12 (which is essentially a re-skinned Enzo) in 2009. It achieved Ferrari Classiche certification in 2019, and at the time of auction listing, it had 11,855 miles on the odometer.
RM Sotheby’s anticipates this Enzo will sell for between 4.9 million and 5.3 million euros, translating to approximately $5.6 million to $6.1 million at current exchange rates. For context, two Enzos in the more common Rosso Corsa sold for around $9.3 million each at separate auctions earlier this year (one in Paris and the other in Scottsdale, Arizona). Even among Ferrari flagships, increased rarity does not always lead to heightened desirability.
