Ferrari’s legendary Enzo, one of the last purely V12 hypercars, holds an undeniable allure for enthusiasts and collectors alike. When combined with an extraordinary backstory, such as being owned by Formula 1 champion Jenson Button, its desirability soars even higher. Now, this rare piece of automotive and motorsport history is up for grabs.
This particular Enzo, finished in classic Rosso Corsa, is believed to have been a personal gift to Button following his 2009 Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship victory. At the time, Button was racing for McLaren, a direct rival of Ferrari, which likely explains why his ownership of the car was kept under wraps. Despite this, Button’s association with the Enzo adds a fascinating chapter to its history, making it a standout among the 399 units made for public sale.
Currently available through Maranello Sales, this Enzo is in pristine condition. Having covered just 1,837 km (1,100 miles) since its production, it stands as one of the lowest-mileage examples in existence. The car is also Classiche certified, confirming its authenticity and originality, and it comes with Ferrari’s iconic Schedoni suit carrier as part of its optional equipment.
Beneath its striking exterior lies a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine producing 660 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automated manual gearbox inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology. With a redline at 8,000 rpm, the Enzo delivers a visceral driving experience unlike any modern hybrid hypercar.
Priced at nearly £4 million, this Enzo offers more than just unparalleled performance. It’s a collector’s dream—a car steeped in Ferrari’s legacy and graced by the ownership of a world champion. For its next owner, it’s not just a rare hypercar; it’s a chance to preserve and celebrate automotive and motorsport history.
