The Scaglietti, which is also the only 2+2 &#8220;four seater&#8221; Ferrari (I wouldn&#8217;t really try and fit anything larger than a toddler in the back seat - but why any toddlers would be in a 6-speed F1-S gearbox equipped 540-hp V-12 Ferrari beats me) gets  XM Radio and XM Nav Traffic, another first. The Scaglietti also boasts a special electrochromatic panoramic glass roof that darkens and lightens at the touch of a button. Only 12 or so are slated for the USA, and those are already spoken for. <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&amp;PID=2432517&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1-43-LookSmart-Ferrari-612-Scaglietti-60th-Anniversary_W0QQitemZ180179243233QQihZ008QQcategoryZ223QQcmdZViewItem">Everyone else will just have to satisfy their 60th Anniversary edition Scaglietti lust here &#8230; </a></p>

The Enzo (named after the founder of Ferrari) was styled by Italian designer Pininfarina and comes in either red or yellow. It has a downward sloping nose with a rear spoiler that only pops up at speeds over 140mph. I&#8217;ve always [...]]]></description>

<p>In terms of performance, the Enzo is as close to Formula One as any car gets. Its got a V-12 engine that sits in the middle of the car and pumps out 650 horsepower and does o-60 in 3.1 secs! Steering-wheel paddles are used to shift the six-speed sequential <span name="TMB" onmouseout="parent.pNav.tOff(this)" onclick="parent.pNav.setHitno(13,1)" style="text-decoration: none" title="Click to highlight this term (13)." onmouseover="parent.pNav.tOn(this)" class="term">manual transmission.</span> Only 400 of these were ever <span name="TMB" onmouseout="parent.pNav.tOff(this)" onclick="parent.pNav.setHitno(14,1)" onmouseover="parent.pNav.tOn(this)" class="term">built. We&#8217;re not sure what number this one is as the eBay listing is a bit scant on details. We&#8217;re also not sure why the transmission is listed as automatic. Hmmmmmm&#8230;.</span></p>

<p>Base price now: At least $1.35M, given you can find one. The reserve has already been met on this listing and there&#8217;s still 8 days to go! We&#8217;ll keep a close eye on this one.          See more pics at the <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-ROSSO-CORSA-ENZO-2-OWNERS-CLEAN-2273-MILES_W0QQitemZ140135129152QQihZ004QQcategoryZ6212QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting">original listing here</a>.</p>
