Of Course The Ferrari Enzo Has Awesome Quirks

Doug DeMuro casts his analytical eye over Ferrari's V12 hypercar, and yes, there are quirks and features aplenty...

21 Mar 2018

The Ferrari Enzo is a well-known car. We all know it’s the mid-engined, V12-powered successor to the F50. You’re probably well aware that it kicks out 660bhp, and that only 400 were made. Perhaps you’ve heard that the 400th was donated to Pope John Paul II.

But what about the car’s weirder features? Watch this video from Doug DeMuro giving an overview of the Enzo, and I’m certain you’ll learn at least one new thing about the car. Most likely more.

For instance, there’s its odd engine cover opening procedure, the fact it has a battery cut-off switch, and the weirdly shaped windscreen wiper to consider. The fuel filler cap is a weird touch since it’s part of the engine cover assembly, and how can you not love those weird circular window winders?

Sit back, relax, and get ready for 28 minutes of gloriously fastidious quirk hunting.

The best is probably the self detonating clutch which wears out faster than Phil breaks down 😂

Self detonating clutch???

No sir, it won’t do a burn out, it will just blow up

“Yo I got a Ferrari Enzo part”
“What is it”
“Bulbs”

Time to resurrect a meme from the treasure chest of holy car memes

“ and now it’s time for me to” oh wait…

Sad times. Apparently, the owner of the dealer didn’t want the car on the street, so he didn’t let Doug drive it - even after promising him in advance!

$650,000 car, uses stick to prop up hood.

It has mostly to do with the fact that the Enzo is heavily inspired by F1, the suspension setup in the back resembles the one in a F1 car, which more likely left little room to come up with a way to keep the hood open
