As reported by wired.com, Ferrari plans to introduce a lighter and far more vicious version of the Enzo, based on the Millechili. Most promising about this new car is that it embodies Ferrari’s new “less is more” ethos. That is less as in less weight - like a lot less weight. The Millechili will weigh exactly 1000 kilos, or 2200 lbs for us American folk. That is less than my Miata weighs, but with its 600 hp V10 it will have over 4 times the power. It is also 660 lbs less than the current Enzo, so the new car version should be ubervicious indeed.

The only downside is that only 300 cars will be made, and each will cost $500k. That means that even if you had an additional $500k to spend, you won’t be able to find a replacement car should you ever have a mishap on the track. And yes, I will only be jealous of anyone that owns one AND takes it to the track, as such refined machine is just a waste if it is not exercised properly.

Curious to see if anyone races the Enzo’s in a Le Mans type series. I suspect not, but it’d be interesting to see how a race-prepped Enzo would compare.
