    I've heard about the 'Ferrari Opus', and specifically the Enzo edition.

    Apparently the only 400 Enzo editions were (one for each original Enzo owner), so I was wondering if these were given to the owners or if they were offered for sale to the original owners.

    Question #1 - Did any original Enzo owners here receive one?

    Question #2 - For those who have seen it (or own it), is it really worth the price tag ( I hear around approx. $30,000 USD)?

    It is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. What did the book contain?

    Did some quick looking ... apparently there are a series of Opuses (or Opi).

    There's a Diamante edition that is limited to only one per country and goes for $275,000 US.

    I saw one at the dealer in NYC on Park Ave.

    Big heavy book---but for all the money---I felt it was a bad deal.

    I got one, standard version, paid US$ 3'000.
    NOT worth the money, but I had to have it anyway. I think the weight is 37 kilogramms so you may want to reinforce your shelfs. Or put it straight into your fireplace.
    90 percent of the pix are from the official factory press kits handed out in the past 10 years. And there are tons of errors and mistakes in the captions, such as a 365 GTC is a 365 GTC/4, etc.
    The ipad App from Opus for US$ 8 is just a little teaser.

    Good to know about the press shots, errors, etc. Seems like an awful lot for a book to me. even before hearing those tidbits.

    Do you happen to know how the Enzo edition was distributed? (Given to new owners, or just called that and made in the same numbers) Just out of curiosity...

    I have never heard of an "Enzo Opus". Having been involved with the sale of more than one Enzo, I don't know if this book exists, I have never heard of it. I would love to see this book if its real, but I doubt it is. There were several small things that came with an Enzo when new, but again I have never heard of the "Enzo Opus".

    This book titled Ferrari OPUS has zero to do with a Ferrari Enzo Ferrari (the car) and did not come with the Enzo cars. The book came out a few months ago, the car about 8 years ago.

    I understand and I think the OP does as well. I think he was asking about a similar book based around the Enzo, which I do not believe exists. Its good to see you posting again Marcel :).

    I've never seen one of course, but yeah, I kind of guessed that there was nothing too particular to the car.

    From what I can gather, it's the same book with the addition of a page hand-signed by all living Ferrari world champions and produced in similar numbers to the Enzo.
