FERRARI

A unique Ferrari in the world at auction

For sale is a Ferrari Enzo that probably no one has ever seen: it is in fact the only existing model in the Avus White color, which was originally ordered by a Swiss collector. A very special specimen that very soon - from 29 to 30 June 2022 - will be up for auction at RM Sotheby's.

It is the only Ferrari Enzo ever made in Avus White, ordered by a reserved customer at the start of production of the model. Seeing this car is actually not easy today, in fact, there are only 400 examples of Enzo produced by the Maranello company and the owners keep their jewels well kept in the garage (one was auctioned last summer).

Ferrari Enzo, precious model...The unique car, in the splendid Bianco Avus shade: almost a myth, a legend. The original sale was made out to a Swiss-German billionaire, the model has been kept hidden from the public for more than a decade. This is probably the most special example of the innovative model built in honor of the company founder Enzo Ferrari. On 29 June it will surprisingly go on sale at auction at RM Sotheby's.

Throughout his career, Enzo Ferrari has been committed to creating cars that are unique in the world. Whether they were examples of cars at the top of motorsport or found on the pages of glossy magazines, the Prancing Horse cars have always represented the avant-garde of technology and style. It was right, therefore, that the car built in his honor, the Ferrari Enzo, exemplified everything that had seen the Maranello brand grow thanks to its manufacturer.

The Enzo was created to push the boundaries of road car performance, using technology derived from the top racing series and the style of longtime partner Pininfarina. Constructed of lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum, this Ferrari's chassis has been clad in a composite body designed by Ken Okuyama.

At the heart of the Ferrari Enzo was a centrally mounted 5,998cc V12 engine capable of producing an incredible 651 horsepower. Like its top-of-the-range predecessors, the Enzo set a new benchmark for performance and design and, thanks to a production of just 400 units, has since become one of the collector's cars par excellence of the modern era.

The only white Ferrari Enzo is for sale... Any Ferrari Enzo is a rare jewel suitable for collectors of supercars of a certain value. This model, with chassis 133023, is even more special. Made in white, a privilege reserved exclusively for one of Maranello's most esteemed and demanding customers.

The car was completed on May 22, 2003, finished in the striking combination of Bianco Avus leather on Black, with Rosso Corsa instruments and extra-large carbon fiber bucket seats complete with rare black 3D fabric inserts. The unique supercar first arrived via Ferrari Central Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany, to Symbol Automobiles in Matran, Switzerland, where it was sold to its first owner, a German-Swiss billionaire. Minimally used during those early years, the car spent much of its time in the supply dealer's window in Matran before being exported to Hong Kong in 2011.

Not registered during its stay in Hong Kong due to its left-hand drive configuration, this special white Ferrari Enzo has been part of a significant collection in recent years; the odometer counts only 9,600 km traveled. The car has the Ferrari Classiche certification issued in November 2012. Offered exclusively by RM Sotheby's and made available only to the most demanding customers, this offer represents a unique opportunity.
