    I'm surprised this hasn't been covered here, so whose Enzo is this? There are a few other vintage Ferraris and a 360 in the ad as well.

    I've seen a couple of trailers for this movie, but never this one.

    What are the vintage models shown?

    Don't know which car it is, but those are US plates on a Euro car.

    For a moment right around the 2 second mark they show what appear to be two vintage Fcars. Left one looks p2-ish

    No doubt about it; Wahlberg never disappoints. I was gonna go to the movies today; but I'm waiting 'til next week for this film. And Giovanni Ribisi makes for an excellent criminal (his would-be endeavors were deftly executed alongside Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds).

    This is a US spec Enzo, it has the small orange lights on the back on both sides to the plate.

    But for sure they are fake US plates!

    It has amber centers in the outer taillights, and a wide space for a Euro license plate - it's definitely a Euro-spec Enzo.

    It's not the first time a US spec Enzo has a wide space for license plate, is it?

    I don't claim to be an expert on Enzo's, but I have a real soft spot for them, so take a deep interest in them. I would appreciate it if you could expand on your comment, as I have NEVER seen a US spec Enzo with euro rear bumper, or amber turn signals, as the US cars use the outer red ring as their turn signal...


    Euro Spec Enzo's have: Orange front markers, orange rear side markers, red rear reflectors, large (wide) numberplate recess and amber turn signals

    US Spec Enzo's have: Orange front markers, red rear side markers, red rear reflectors, narrow numberplate recess, white centers on tail lights

    Then Mike I'll bed less stupid tonight, thank you for these clarifications ;)

    I might - again, "might" - have an example of a US spec Enzo with wide license plate recess on a picture. Be sure I will try to find it so that we can discuss this exception

    Anyhow, the French trailor of this movie doesn't show any Ferrari... Thanks for sharing the American one Michael!

    The car on the left is 365/P2 S/N 0832, I think the car on the right might be 0858 or 0866.

    Definitely; and also as a sniper in that movie with Danny Glover. He's like America's version of Jason Statham.

    Michael, this is great, thank you. I was unable to identify any of the cars shown in the previews. But are you certain it's 0832? This car crashed, and was subsequently destroyed, in Nassau, in December, 1966. The driver, Rodrigo Borges of Caracas, died of the burns he suffered in the crash. Bob Dusek of Solebury, PA, acquired what he believed to be a spare engine made for this car; he believed it was a spare as it was in perfect condition and showed no signs of fire damage.

    Also, 0858 was for sale at Talacrest back in November; and 0866 is a 612 Can Am car that hasn't been seen in a while. If it's the latter, that would be a pleasant surprise - ironic, too, as the last known owner was...












    ...wait for it...












    Bob Dusek.

    It is my understanding that half the chassis was used in the rebuild done by Allegretti and Sport Auto Modena. The car wears all new body. So, I should have put "0832" in quotes as its truly debatable how much of 0832 is left. As for the other car, I'm fairly uncertain that's why I said it could be it could either car.

    How did you arrive at this information in the first place? Do you have an in with a studio exec? Are you some kind of super secret savant spotter/identifier maintaining an ultra low profile all this time? Do you hang out with Mark Wahlberg? I always wondered what that'd be like; is he cool, is he ******, does he have an odd obsession with migratory birds, rendering useless his social life?

    LOL. I don't think Marky Mark and I hang out. I am a bit serial number guy. If you look through some of my posts, although I don't post often a lot of my posts are about particular S/Ns. I have particular interest in 0832, so I spotted it. Though as with all things I could be wrong, hell even Marcel said he was "still learning" the other day. Which is just beyond shocking. I imagine that Marky Mark, has an obsession with hoping people forget, he was Marky Mark.

    I'm sure he does. Just like how Robert Matthew Van Winkle wishes everyone would forget that he was Vanilla Ice.
