No one reached the minimum bid to buy Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari Enzo that the auction house Monaco Car Auctions put up for sale on June 8. So the fabulous supercar does not change owners and returns to the garage of the two-time Formula 1 world champion (2005 and 2006).
The event was a great date for wealthy car collectors. There were about forty Ferraris available and one of the most interesting, without a doubt, was that of the Spaniard for various reasons. To begin with, the fact that it belonged to him, a famous racing driver, already gave it a certain cachet.
But the point that also increased its value is that the copy in question was the first manufactured unit of the model, whose production was limited to 400 cars, some of which ended up in the hands of such famous people as Eric Clapton, Nicolas Cage, Tommy Hilfiger, Rod Stewart, Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Pope John Paul II (he auctioned it off for charity).
In addition, Fernando Alonso’s Enzo is in a magnificent state of preservation and its odometer barely reads 4,800 kilometers, a very low figure considering that the supercar is over 20 years old (this model was manufactured between 2002 and 2004). Although the exact date of the purchase is unknown, it sports a Spanish license plate with the letters HGZ, corresponding to 2011, the year in which the athlete competed in the Prancing Horse team.
The Ferrari Enzo, also known as the F60, mounts a central rear V12 engine, placed longitudinally, which develops a power of 660 HP. With a top of 350 km/h, this car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 200 km/h in 9.5 seconds.
Despite all the virtues of the copy, it was not sold in the end because no one was willing to pay a large amount of money. As reported by the Twitter account Aston Martin F1 Updates, the initial bid was 4.2 million euros and it was estimated that it could reach 5.5 million euros.
However, none of this happened and the Enzo returned to the hands of Fernando Alonso, who before the auction was happy to part with this Ferrari in an Instagram post: “I am happy to announce that I will put my number 1 Enzo up for sale in Monaco. I hope the new owner of this unique piece enjoys it.” Unfortunately, the latter has not come to pass. A disappointment.
