Ferrari Enzo

Introducing, Ferrari's greatest road car out today, the 2002 Ferrari Enzo, named after the one who started Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari! I'm gonna give you a little piece of history (which means a BIG piece of history). Enzo started out, living his life, dreaming to become a car designer. He was Italian, and the first car he had ever designed was an Alfa Romeo from 1938. He then started designing the car Ferrari, named after himself. He started in the 1940s, and continued. Then he named a car after his son, Dino (deeno), The 1960s Ferrari Dino. Then Ferrari was about the best Italian car out there. Ferrari was also designing Maserati to. He continued to design Ferraris, like the 250 GTO, 275 GTB, and in the 80s, 308 GTB or GTO, 328, 348-they only made 380 of those. And then a sad thing happened. Enzo Ferrari Died in the 80s at the top of his game. I really don't know how he died. Now to celebrate Enzo Ferrari, they made the Ferrari Enzo! Only 400 were made, and about half of them are destroyed! First they made 399 Enzos, but then they decided to make one for pope. Then he died, and it was for sale at a car show, and I saw it there! My brother Jaret got to go over the bars and be like, 2 inches away from it, and a McLaren F1-LM, a Maserati MC12, and a Mercedes CLK-GTR, my favorite cars in the world!!! He doesn't care for cars, and he was next to them! And so, a car that's... Faster than 210 miles an hour... more horse power than a Honda Civic... able to drift more than any car... the amazing car from the designers of Ferrari... the FERRARI ENZO! (Yah. Like Superman, I know.)
