Fashion Designer Tommy Hilfiger's Ferrari Enzo Heading to Auction

Founded in 1985, Tommy Hilfiger slowly but steadily became one of the most successful apparel companies in the world. Currently present in more than 90 countries, the brainchild of American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger allowed its founder to enjoy the perks of owning highly exotic cars. One of those is the Ferrari Enzo, the LaFerrari hypercar’s all-motor predecessor.

Only 400 units of the F60 were manufactured by Ferrari, the 400th being donated to the Pope in 2005. Tommy Hilfiger’s Enzo is a 2003 model that currently shows 3,622 miles on the odometer. In other words, it’s a 13-year-old supercar that was driven less than 302 miles on average each year.

To cross the block at RM Sotheby’s Arizona sale in January 2017, the Prancing Horse featured in the photo gallery appears to be in tip-top condition. From the seat bolstering to the leather on the steering wheel, even the interior looks as if this Enzo was born only yesterday. Representing a synthesis of Ferrari’s technical know-how and the Scuderia’s sporting experience, the Enzo appeared in 2002, the year that saw Michael Schumacher win 11 F1 races.

Even by today’s standards, the Ferrari Enzo is an incredible machine that not only looks great, but it also goes like stink. Designed by Ken Okuyama and powered by a 6.0-liter Tipo F140 naturally aspirated V12, the Enzo originally sold for $659,330. Boasting a front-to-rear weight distribution of 43.9-56.1, the Italian thoroughbred prides itself on 660 PS (651 hp) at 7,800 rpm.

Evo magazine once took an Enzo to the Nurburgring, lapping the grueling circuit in 7:25.21 even though the car had a defective electronic damper. To put that time into perspective, the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio holds the record for the fastest sedan on the Green Hell, recording a 7:32 lap time.

Regardless of the fact the Enzo is yesterday’s news in a world where the LaFerrari, 918, and P1 duke it out like they own the place, Ferrari’s current hypercar wouldn’t have happened if it were not for the Enzo. RM Sotheby’s hasn’t offered any estimates on Hilfiger’s pristine-condition machine, yet the average auction price for the Enzo in 2016 stands at $2,900,000.
