Cars, even ones designed specifically to be sporty and give you a sensation of power, control and exhilaration, are being toned down and sanitized more and more these days.
Exhausts are quieter, engines are smoother, gearboxes now shift seamlessly and most new cars will get great fuel efficiency if driven with care.
This is why, when we see a car like the Ferrari Enzo, we need to be aware of just how special a car it really is. It came at a time when not everything about a car’s behavior was controlled by a computer, but it was there to make the car even faster and, also, to get you out of tricky situations unscathed - it got the best of both worlds.
This silver Enzo, shot by Marhcettino, probably has a straight exhaust, because it is really loud, even at low RPMs. Its V12 sound is so good, it makes you want to record it and then play it in your mp3 player over and over again.
