EVOLVE FERRARI
Ferrari has over the years released a number of supercars that have been the absolute apex of the company’s technological advancements applied to its road cars. The GTO, F40, and F50 are a few of these. The Enzo Ferrari, the newest embodiment of Formula 1 technology and know-how, joined this family of high-performance vehicles in 2002.

Numerous inbuilt technological technologies, created by Ferrari Gestione Sportiva (Ferrari Sport Management), enhance the driver’s comfort in the Enzo. To maximize performance and safety, a central computer coordinates the engine, suspension, gearbox, and aerodynamic subsystems. Depending on the mode the driver chooses from the steering wheel, these subsystems will behave differently and communicate differently.
Sport, Race, and No ASR are the three different control modes available on the Enzo. These options mainly alter the traction control, electrohydraulic shifting, and active damping settings. The driver has the option to use Launch Control, which was taken over from Formula One, in No ASR mode, the most aggressive setting.
The ASR, Ferrari’s fancy name for traction control, is receiving a lot of attention. In order to ensure a high level of stability during powerful cornering forces, the ASR primarily collaborates with the ABS. Only drivers like Benuzzi and Schumacher benefit from turning off the ASR since it is so technologically advanced.
All test drives during the press preview at Fiorano had to be conducted with the ASR activated. Despite this, Tiff Needell of 5th Gear quickly turned it off, emphasizing his point with the words “I can’t drive a Ferrari with that on” followed by “now the Ferrari is alive.” Tiff obtained the best time of the day, but she still lagged Benuzzi by more over four seconds.
You cannot sell your new Ferrari after purchasing it.
The fine print of the contract you sign states that you are not allowed to sell your new Ferrari during the first year of ownership. This is done to deter flippers. The owner may make a sizable profit by selling a low-mileage, first-year Ferrari, particularly when it comes to limited-edition vehicles. Ferrari wants the opportunity to buy the car back from you if you decide to sell it.
Ferrari and Lamborghini have been at odds for many years and it hasn’t let up. If you buy a Lambo and want to be on the VIP list for a limited-edition Ferrari, forget about it. It doesn’t want to mix with the bull, even if you have several Ferraris.
