    Great just shows how easy a car like an Enzo can be to drive no matter what age you are, even if it is at 10mph.

    Just another example of why Ferraris need to be made with 6-speeds again.

    Here are 3 more that i saw last week, some of the blurred faces are for security proposes.

    1st Picture: 12-13 year old that could barely see over the steering wheel took the scuderia out on the track ex-F1 track to do some laps...he was flying on the straightaway 170-180 MPH

    2nd Picture: 4 Year old steering an F40

    3rd Picture: Car was bieng driven by a 15 year old, not sure if he was the one that caused the damage though.

    Awesome, awesome, awesome.

    Made me smile. Did you see the kid's face?? Haha. I would have been laughing uncontrollaby in his shoes.

    If the guy told him he could drive it one more time if he kept a straight face, he wouldn't have been able to do it.

    Neither would I. :):):):):):)

    i could really careless what age a person is when he drives his first ferrari or any car for that matter. as long as he has a valid drivers license and either he or his parents can afford it, heck why not. in this case, i don't agree having a 13 year-old driving an enzo. it doesnt matter how much the car is but the principle and the law. there is a law for a reason.

    props to those who can drive cars like these at a young age but not to those who don't even meet the legal age to do so.

    They're on a track. Much different than being on a public road.

    I see no issue with it.

    In my GO-Kart league, there were 9 year old kids who were racing 125 Shifter karts at around 120 Mph.

    Yes, an F Car is bigger, but I think they possess enough skill and experience to keep it in control.

    Exactly. It depends on the kid and what experience they have had. My own son was winning kart races at age 10 in some seriously fast karts and now that he is 16 and driving real cars on the road I can see that his hand-eye coordination and distance judgment is likely far superior to someone who hasn't had his background...

    Unbelieveable, I can imagine the kid still has a massive grin on his face right now.

    A big thumbs up to the Enzo owner for giving the lad a once in a lifetime experience.

    I'm 26. I've never been behind the wheel of a Ferrari. The closest I've come is when I was 18 and working at a Chrysler dealer, I had to move Vipers around sometimes. Still haven't actually driven a Viper yet either. I am DETERMINED to own a Viper

    i completely agree! i wish Ferrari would stop putting paddle shifters in their cars... its cool for a while, but the real joy in driving is using stick.
