    I have seen other Enzos being towed on similar trucks. As long as there is no hail I don't see a problem for short hauls.

    Insane week of spotting, Enzo and a GTO...both on other modes of transport though

    Btw I've towed a Diablo on a flatbed, it's not a problem over short distances as Andreas said.

    Also not the first time an Enzo was on a flatbed in the loop :)

    Someone please tell me what the problem is with flatbedding an Enzo. As long as it can be loaded carefully without damage what's the issue?
    Perhaps it should be transported in a sedan chair carried by virgins.

    years ago I parked in a garage in Chicago that shared space with a condo building; there was an Enzo in the condo parking area, under a cover.

    this was roughly at Chicago and Dearborn Streets.

    same car?

    given the time of year, it's probably being transported for winter storage/maintenance.

    What?! Weird! MUST be going to storage. Surprised he left it out this late, but haven't seen him driving, nor has anyone, not since the one spot this summer!

    Yes can somebody please answer this ...
    Would you rather it was towed by a tow rope or something? Flat bed is the best way to tow any car.

    This is a pic I took in march of 2011, as Enzo was getting delivered to exact same spot. My guess is it is going to winter storage.

    It's no problem to tow an Enzo via flatbed. I see Pro Towing is the truck in the pic, they do all of the towing for LFSC so it was probably on it's way there.

    My lotus elise would scrape going onto a flat bed, they had to send a special truck to pick it up. I'm sure the enzo is lower, my replica enzo I used to have needed a special truck also.

    You can see the cut in the flat bed where the last part of the trailer does an extra fold to fit low cars

    The Enzo can raise its nose to make it over bumps

    I would guess it's one persons opinion that anyone who owns an Enzo should also have a 24/7 fleet of enclosed trailers at the ready in case of a breakdown.

    A local company installed smaller wheels and low profile tires on one flatbed for sports cars.
