    Thank you Mr. Massini! I didn’t have the reflex to take chassis numbers at the time!

    Karim, thanks for your kind words - yes , I also collect plates and thought 1FX 2FX would go well on these two …I definitely find the F50 more exhilarating to drive , more visceral and alive. Feels more analogue . The Enzo makes me feel more confident in my driving ability but the F50 wins for my driving experience every time . To look at I think the Enzo wins every time for me . It was my dream ultimate car before I ever really appreciated F50s. Now I have both , and personally rate the F50 as the supreme drive but the Enzo as an aesthetic masterclass. I’m short of spare space at home as I want to create a ‘glass room’ inside to be able to look at the Enzo from my bar room- I visualize the Enzo as my living room art space ahead of the F50 whereas the F50 is the 1st one I go for for a spirited drive . And your thoughts ??

    You put it very clearly.
    The Enzo’s presence, aura, and charisma either when you see it passing by or if you are stepping into it and lock yourself in the ‘cockpit’ is incredible. And when you drive it (race mode on and with sports exhaust) the response, torque, focus, and pull with the angry engine sound is peerless and timeless.
    And the shape, the lines, the future brought to today, the power metamorphosing into elegance is so much the Enzo.
    However, the F50 with original exhausts giving you all the mechanical sounds in the Berlinetta cabin or with straight pipes at 6k-8k rpms with an open roof …. go and find something like that.
    As to your glass room, do it even if you need to knock down a couple of bedrooms or have to override the local authority…

    Beautiful car. Not sure which, amongst the passenger and driver, have, shall we say, the more happy expression…

    Indeed. They look like vilains from a 90s movie.

    I must admit I was looking forward to this but was v underwhelmed by the video quality , the content and the Miami Vice music ….as a combo though - the Red and yellow F50 is a stellar combo . Congrats to David Lee on the yellow to add to the red but hopefully improved content with the two in future videos …
