Lewis Hamilton Could Be Tempted by the Rarest Ferrari Enzo Ever Made Now For SaleMotorBiscuitSaajan JogiaWed, September 9, 2026 at 1:30 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleRare and raw Ferraris have a special appeal for F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. He recently added a Ferrari F40 to his collection, and now a Ferrari Enzo up for auction could catch his attention for two reasons: its low 3,581 miles on the odometer and its exceptionally rare Matte Nero Opaco finish, which was applied to just one Enzo at the factory.Ferrari buyers were still largely choosing traditional colors in the late 20th century, but that began to change in the early 2000s. While the F50 was available in just five factory colors, Enzo buyers had more freedom to personalize their cars. Rosso Corsa was the most popular choice, followed by Giallo Modena and Nero.However, one Enzo stood out by leaving the factory in a rare matte black finish. The car was commissioned by Brunei's royal family, known for ordering unique and highly customized cars from European manufacturers, and became the first Ferrari hypercar delivered new with a matte paint scheme. The Enzo featured a matching Nero leather interior, Rosso gauges, and large seats. It was kept at the Brunei royal family's residence in London.Image Credit: RM Sotheby'sAdvertisementAdvertisementIn 2022, the car was sent to Carrozzeria Zanasi, where it received over €110,000 ($128,024) in cosmetic work, including new headlights, bonnet glass, sticky switches, and a full repaint in its original Nero Opaco finish. It was later sold through RM Sotheby's and shipped to Canada. At the time of cataloging, it had covered just 5,763 km and remained in excellent condition.During its current ownership, the Enzo has been serviced by Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo and Ferrari of Vancouver. In August 2024, at 5,742 km, the dealership replaced the clutch, both fuel pumps, and the left-side valve cover gasket. The car has covered very little mileage since then.Why Could the Matte Black Enzo Appeal to Hamilton?Although Hamilton has expressed a preference for Ferraris that feel more mechanical, the Ferrari Enzo is widely regarded as a transitional model between traditional analog supercars and the modern, computer-managed era. Rather than being a purely analog machine, the Enzo represents an important shift in Ferrari's history.However, while some retrospective descriptions loosely classify the Enzo as an "analog supercar" because of its naturally aspirated V12 and lack of hybrid assistance, automotive purists generally regard the Ferrari F40 as the last truly analog Ferrari flagship. That helps explain why the F40 was considered the seven-time F1 world champion's dream car.AdvertisementAdvertisementBut it is the Matte Nero Opaco finish that makes this particular Enzo one of the rarest of the 400 examples produced. Would Hamilton be tempted by it, though? Considering he managed to get his hands on an F40 with barely 43 miles (69 kilometers) on the odometer, a passenger door that had never been opened, and his racing number 44 stamped on the engine, this Enzo would have a tough combination to beat.Lewis Hamilton, FerrariFerrari Enzo Performance Stats:Engine and Power:Engine: 6.0-liter (5,998 cc) naturally aspirated V12 (Tipo F140)Horsepower: 660 hp (651 bhp) at 7,800 rpmTorque: 485 lb-ft (657 Nm) at 5,500 rpmRedline: 8,200 rpm Acceleration and Top Speed:AdvertisementAdvertisement0–60 mph (0–100 km/h): 3.3 seconds0–124 mph (0–200 km/h): 9.5 secondsTop Speed: 217 mph (350 km/h)Transmission and Weight:Transmission: 6-speed semi-automatic F1 sequential manual with paddle shiftersDry Weight: 1,365 kg (3,009 lbs)Chassis: Carbon-fiber and aluminum honeycomb monocoque
