Feature Car of the Week: "Ferarri Enzo"

Our feature car of the week is definitely need no introduction. It is also one of the most expensive sports car in the market. A car so exclusive you have to be invited by Ferarri just to have the privilage of buying one. 400 units sold out of the factory for 600,000 USD, now this car has a market value of 2 million USD. Not bad for an investment right? But you must previously owned 3 limited Ferarri models before any one can be invited.

This car is a formula-1 car built for the road. It was designed the same way a formula-1 is, except that it last longer.
