Before the Enzo came along in 2002, the Prancing Horse was recovering from the hypercar disaster known as the F50. Yes, the F50 may look astonishing, but many complained about the disappointing driving dynamics and borderline acceptable level of comfort. Thankfully, the Enzo shaped up to be much better than its predecessor.
This is just one of the reasons why it's so hard to ignore the historical importance of the car that made the Enzo happening. That car is what you can admire in the gallery below and good jolly, it's also for sale for an undisclosed amount of money. Back in 2011, this Enzo prototype was listed for €750,000 (roughly $970,360), so it's only natural to presume that the Enzo mule will cost you a tad more nowadays.
Built in 2000, the Ferrari Enzo mule is a mashup of 348 and F355, but the heart of the beast is the 6-liter V12 that also powers the production-spec Enzo and the 599 GTB Fiorano. Tipping the scale at just 1,365 kilograms (3,009 pounds), this one-of-a-kind piece of Maranello history is channeling a beastly 680 PS to its rear wheels via a single-clutch six-speed automated manual. By the way, if you happen to burn the clutch, a whole assembly will set you back at least $6,000 excluding labor costs, just so you know.
Currently in the inventory of Modena Motorsport GmbH in Langenfeld, Germany, the seller says that the car is certified and purrs like a kitten. Mind you, we deem necessary to highlight that the 2000 Ferrari Enzo test mule cannot be road registered, so you can't take it to the shops or scare the living daylight of people on the sidewalk. Fun fact: back in 2005, the Prancing Horse sold it at auction for a shockingly low €195,000, which translates to an affordable $252,550 according to current exchange rates.
