    Yes, it still has the middle part of the roof; only the tops of the doors were cut off... Pretty kick-ass if i do say so, myself... :)


    Greg, unfortunately that's all i know...

    If you look at the licence-plate, it say MM ENZO and that's if i'm not mistaking Richard Losee's enzo. you have to look very good to see it though.

    I agree with that whole-heartedly. Whether real, photochopped or not, I think it looks sweet as can be.

    I wonder if he has two sets of doors? I would have taken the origionals off, bought new ones, modified them and had the best of both worlds, a custom Enzo without hurting its value....

    Even if that is not the case, your point is a good one and this could be put back to stock easily enough (well, at least for a guy with enough money to afford an Enzo).

    Im not sure whether that is really genuine, I mean looking at the rear glass, there is nothing at the top between the roof and the t-top. Also, you think you might have heard something as this is, I believe, MM ENZO, one of the more widely talked about and published Enzos in the US. Just my 2 cents.

    I heard there was footage of this car in this state I believe that would settle this debate

    That doesnt mean anymore than they are photoshopped from the same car. Obviously that enzo exists..just whether it was PSed is the question.

    Since the Enzo has two pivot points for the doors wouldn't this screw up the doors? If this car/conversion is real would it be converted to regular opening doors or would the other hinge be able to support the whole door?

    Go for it. The owner had a lot of balls to do such a thing, I'd be too scared. To really believe it, I need some pics that aren't photoshopped.

    Yea I agree with 360 Modena..the second hinge for the door would have to be moved..the door would have to be reconstructed..etc etc

    ...So is this the "Utah MM Enzo" (most miles enzo) property of Mr. Losee?
    I bet those doors would open in a Lambo style.

    All B.S. aside, the chop top in the pictures doesn't look BAD. I would NEVER do it, but not bad...

    Anyone who wants to do this to a enzo is a IDIOT!! They want to be the first to f up a perfectly good Ferrari. Just wait a few years i bet Ferrari will be coming out with a spyder versian shortly. don't be like that 75 cents guy that wanted to turn his rolls royce phantom into a convertible when you can NOW buy a convertible versian if you have the dough and it looks a hell of alot better then his.

    There not going to make a spyder enzo. The guy customized HIS car the way HE wanted it. Pretty cool I think.

    Armen, if you could acquire an extra pair of doors, and store the originals away safely, whats the harm in getting creative, right? It could be easily returned to OE whenever.

    I say thumbs up to Losee.

    I'd have to see more pictures before I was convinced. From that picture, not only is the roof panel gone, but also the front 'quarter window' that is fixed. With that gone, presumambly so is the front rail for the sliding window glass, which could cause problems in moving it up and down. Not to mention that even with the window up, there would still be a gap where the quarter window should be.

    Second, given the range of motion for the doors, it seems unlikely that the roof pieces could be mounted and still allow the moving part of the door to clear them.

    What this adds up to is a very compromised Enzo in terms of weather protection, which seems contradictory to that owner's stated goal of racking up the most miles on his Enzo.

    Unless it never rains in Utah ;)

    Maybe they have mounted the doors from the MC12. It has the doors that may fit, and from that picture it seems to me they have the same ''horn'' on the doors (like on lambo Miura has if I remember correctly)
