Charlie: I guess you really like women.
Frank: Above all things. A very, very distant second is a Ferrari.
—This famous Al Pacino quote from Scent of a Woman symbolizes many Americans’ attraction to the famous Italian sports car.

The start of the new millennium ushered in an unprecedented era for Ferrari. While Michael Schumacher had begun rewriting racing history from the cockpit of one of their Formula 1 cars, a new road car was being developed that would feature the best technology Ferrari had to offer. The result was a car so good, it was named after “il Commendatore” (Enzo Ferrari) himself. The F60’s 6-liter 12-cylinder engine produced 660-horsepower and sat longitudinally behind the cockpit. Form followed function in the design of the Enzo, as every F1-inspired line was drawn for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. A zero to 60 time of 3.4 seconds, along with a top speed of over 215 mph, set new standards in supercar performance.
