    Great pix. Please, next time when you see/photograph an Enzo, write down the assembly number (it can be seen thru the rear window/grille, on the left rear corner, in the engine compartment, and is a five digit number). This will help identify the cars. Thank you.

    It might not be a repaint. This could be the pearl white Enzo that belonged to Yoshio Tsuzuki of Japan. It was kept along with his other cars in the ZAZ Musuem in Nagoya and there was a long running debate about whether the car was truly pearl white or possibly silver. A recent check of the ZAZ Museum website shows only the pearl white FXX - the Enzo is no longer pictured:

    http://motorsports.zent.co.jp/museum_machine.html

    You'll find a previous discussion of that car here - there are probably a few other threads as well. You'll see at the time I thought it was silver... Oops. :D I changed my mind at the halfway point in the thread.

    Note this photo of the rear of the car - it's an exact match to the details of the Enzo in Monaco with the diffuser painted but I am not sure if that is the "Enzo Ferrari" signature emblem on the rear. Did you happen to notice if the interior of this car was tan when you spotted it in Monaco?

    Note edges of body panels. Same color of body. Note this car panel edges black. This is a white wrap not paint. Note licence Plae # Black Car wrapped white.

    Napolis, I didn't think it was possible to wrap a car in pearlescent colors because you cannot embed vinyl with the small glass particles that make the paint pearlescent. I think its a repaint based on the information given by the first few posters.

    Hi Jim-
    I respectfully disagree with the wrap theory - you see the same 'black edge' effect in this photo of the car from Japan.

    Here's a wrapped Enzo I saw last weekend in Hockenheim (23 September 2007). So far I have seen at least five wrapped Enzos. Note inside of door. Original color of this car is red, now it is matt black. There were two of these (wrapped) matt black ones at Hockenheim. It seems to be the fashion of the month to wrap his Enzo.

    Nice version too, the rims are beautifull. (before wrap)

    It s an incredible idea to wrap the car, the chart of colors must be extented for the next
    years. next colors can be Magnolia, Champagne...who knows?
    There s a chart of colors available or only some sample?
    What about the process?
    Who can make this work ? i suppose much more a profesional for tunning.

    I agree that the angle of photograph does effect edge shadow but I still think that one's a wrap.

    I think that the car (repainted) is owned by the same person that had a pearl white F430 Spider, 575 Superamerica (all seen in Monte Carlo), and identified as the son (or something like that) of ZANASSI carrozzeria in Maranello, next to the factory.

    I don't see how the white one can be a wrap - if it is, it's very impressive to manage to cut it round the signature to neatly
