Ferrari Enzo vs. LaFerrari Race Is Closer Than You Think, Could Be Illegal

In the automotive world, there are basically two brands that don't want to see you drag racing their stuff. One of them is Rolls-Royce, and I think there's a recent Cullinan vs. Bentayga video that got taken down, the other being Ferrari.
The Italians say they make their exotics for maximum enjoyment or to set fast laps around their own track. Nothing should mess with the exclusivity of owning the Italian prancing horse, and they will go to extreme lengths, banning customers from future order lists or even taking them to court.

But I bet Ferrari won't have much of a problem with this short race video from Carwow, first of all, because the two hypers aren't relevant right now, but also because there's no way to hurt the brand here; no Lambos, no McLarens.

The LaFerrari is still seen as one of the ultimate exotic vehicles, and it's amazing to that it was launched in 2013, staying in production for three more years. The Aperta convertible version followed after that and the last one was produced in 2018. The Enzo is even older, a 2002 model, but its value is arguably better. If you own one of these, you're a cool dude in our book.

The precise power figures probably aren't the most relevant thing in the world. All you have to know is that the LaFerrari is a hybrid and makes about 50% more power than the Enzo. Nobody expects this to win, and due to the value of the classic, Carwow does a rolling race instead of hot launch. And the first race is pretty close with the older car managing to hold on at higher speeds. But it's all downhill for the Enzo after that, as it repeatedly gets called a dinosaur. Have some respect for your elders!
