Luxurious Cars – Ferrari Enzo – A Road Car That Emulates the Technology of Formula 1
Posted by in Ferrari on July 13, 2011
Very few automobiles in history can match the pure performance power and sleek intensity of a Ferrari. This Italian sports car has long been a favorite of car connoisseurs all over the globe.
Ferrari have produced many classics; however, none rival the brand’s most awe-inspiring project, the Enzo. Named after Enzo Ferrari, the car’s founder, this mid-engine wonder – put out in 2002 and halted in 04 – is still one of today’s most powerful production automobiles.
Everything about the Enzo is sleek, stylish and oh-so powerful. To make this car a rival for some of the competitors out there, Ferrari decided to emulate Formula One’s technology and build the Enzo using a state-of-the-art carbon-fiber body. This creates strength without adding drag – and the end result is a stronger, faster, better-handling car.
Other Formula One-style aspects were incorporated into the Enzo, such as the sequential shift transmission. Made famous by motorcycles, this type of transmission is for high-performance only. Instead of selecting specific gears, a driver must use the gears in order. This helps to eliminate human error and increase acceleration time.
The brakes of the Enzo are also state-of-the-art. When a car goes this fast, it’s imperative that it stops well. To handle this task, carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic composite disc brakes were used. These brakes eliminate heat build-up and unnecessary friction, and they don’t wear down or lock up like conventional brakes. The Enzo is full of modern technology, including a computer that controls the rear wing in order to maintain downforce. Read the rest of this entry »
