I got to sit in Enzo, F1 McLaren and Lambo

The company I'm working for currently had a donation drive and one of the top exec who owns them (Enzo, McLaren F1, and the Lamborghini Murcielago) all let the drive organizers borrow 'em for people to sit in for nominal fee take pictures and $1000 to take a ride 30 mins at the track. Could not afford the later but did sit in all 3. Awesome! Awesome!! Awesome!!! Took 70 pics with engine, wheel closeup, steering wheel, intakes with a fan and all. Here are some;


Me (cramped) in Enzo.

F1 McLaren with center driver seat.

I will give anyone the first two picks and gladly take the one not chosen; talk about your balls-out machinery .
I do like the clean lines on that Lamborghini.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but I sometimes get to park next to these same cars! You should listen to the engine on "the red one".

Forget the Lambo, the McLaren and ENZO are the prize!. Good job!
Your boss must own more Ferraris becasue the Ferrari Company WILL NOT sell that car to people who haven't owned other Ferraris particually the F40, F50 before.

Hey, Madcat, I guess you'd turn down the Lamborghini if it was the only one of the three offered to you for free? The other two are faster, but if you ended up with that one, odds are you would never run into the other two at the stop-light. There aren't that many exotics in these calibers running around
Anywho, I don't think I'd want to pay the insurance on any of these, as my insurance with 4 cars is over 6 grand...

Unless someone who did own the previous cars bought it, and sold it to him for a million. God damn, there's only 399 of those in the world.

They actually showed these cars being made on the Discovery Channel. Ferrari would not allow anybody else in the factory where they were made. I think only 5 black ones where made.

Its Ironic. The McLaren was devepoed during the days on McLarens domination of F1 racing, and Now Ferrari' makes the ENZO during its domination of F1 racing.

I think there is a rule from Ferrari that if you think about selling, you have to get premission from Ferrari for the new owner. I read Ferrari is being very strict with the ENZO and who owns it.

But I did see a Porsche GT running around in east of Toronto which CAN blow the doors off both of these!

You can only lease it for the first year or two years (can't remember how long), then you have the option of buying.

Nobody actually OWNS an Enzo at this point. Too many people bought the F50, only to turn around and sell it for a huge profit. Ferrari will not tolerate that with the Enzo, hence the strict eligibility requirements of getting an Enzo.

You have to have owned at least two Ferraris in the past, have no intention of selling it soon for a profit, and of course, have the money ready.


And you think 399 is rare. Try the McLaren F1 LM. Only 9 ever made. You crash one of those, you're depriving the world of a precious piece of automotive history and engineering.

Naah, that'd leave 8, plenty to go around for the ones who CAN own one.

When I was downtown London 2 years ago. They had the McLaren showroom located in Park Lane, London.

They had just one on display. It looked like a jet fighter.

Some more pics I uploaded. One pic is F1 sun visor autographed by Michael Andretti I guess (I do not recall properly)... Son of Mario Andretti who owned it before as I gathered.

The carbon fiber steering wheel on that Enzo probably costs as much as a new TL.

Yeah, I remember reading that the brake pads alone are $6000 and the Carbo-Ceramic rotors are $24K for a grand total of $30K for a brake job.
