Edo Competition Tunes Enzo Ferrari

edo.jpg

Damn, I don’t know how, but they did it- Edo Competition has made the already insane Enzo even crazier.

Along with the visual package, which I don’t like, Edo has given the Enzo more horsepower, more torque, a higher top speed, and overall better performance, thanks to all of the performance upgrades. The engine is an all aluminum V12 behemoth, with Edo’s performance exhaust. Other performance goodies include a new high-flow catalytic converter, a performance muffler, a ram air intake system, better air filters and ECU recalibration. Put it all together and you get the following:

Horsepower is increased from 485 to a monster 700, and top speed is increased from 217 mph to 230. The 0-60 time is now under 3.5 seconds, since 3.5 is for a 0-62 mph, so 3.3 should be about right. A new light-weight clutch and new a transmission control unit provide the same shift times as the uber FXX. Special suspension and light weight wheels and tires complete this awesome package. Not too bad, in fact, this is actually very good. Greenpeace will be screaming bloody murder, but Ferrari has never cared about them before, so no reason to start now.

Now to the bad part. The visual package, in my opinion, is horrid. Yellow is an ugly color for a car. Others might disagree, but that’s my take. Also the wheels are horrible, because they’re black. I don’t like black wheels. To me, they look cheap, small, plasticky, and they make the car look like a toy. Making the wheels matte black, like on this example, is even worse. However, included in the package is the ability for the customer to choose any color they want, but only for the wheels. Unfortunately, the paint has to stay.

The good parts about the visuals, well, there’s actually only one good part. The taillights and headlights have been blacked out into that smoky black color, which usually looks cheesy but on this car it looks sick (in a good way). I wish they included a body kit, but on second thought, I don’t think that it is possible to even make one for the Enzo, seeing as its original design is from F1 racing.

Edo also threw in a custom interior, which is really nothing more than a new two-tone color combo with a few new gauges thrown in.

As much as I gripe about the looks, I can’t deny that it is a stunning car, just because it is an Enzo. Making it an Edo Competition Enzo is even crazier. But looks aren’t everything, even if they should be. But have no fear, ’cause on the track, this beast’s performance speaks for itself.

Great comment bbrian017, and I’m sure that thought has crossed quite a lot of minds since seeing the original Enzo, which has been out of production for four years now. Luckily, that didn’t stop Edo from making the super-crazy, super-expensive Enzo even faster and pricier.
