The backstory of the rumour is even more bizarre.
Let me tell you the story of the MM Enzo if you haven’t heard it before. Richard Losee, a car enthusiast, bought a 2003 Ferrari Enzo in the early 2000s. Losee didn’t intend to treat his Ferrari Enzo as an investment. He wanted it to be kept in climate-controlled storage, while its value increased. He actually loaned his Enzo out to Track to do a full road test, which saw the car go 1,500 miles.
This is the beginning of the story of the MM Enzo. It stands for “Most Miles Enzo”.
Losee decided that he wanted to drive as much as possible during his first years of ownership. To make the Enzo a very unlikely long-term test vehicle, he returned to Road & Track. Losee quickly increased the mileage of the Enzo to more than 30,000.
However, the tale turned dark when Losee entered Utah Highway Patrol’s Fast Pass Charity in 2006. Losee ran at top speed on 14 miles of closed roads. He hit a stretch that was so difficult it sent him and his Enzo flying at 206 miles an hour. Losee spent more than a year recovering from serious injuries.
Amazingly, Losee came out of that experience inspired to rebuild the Enzo even better. After 30 months of hard work, the MM Enzo was restored to its original glory. However, the car was not available in stock trim. The rare supercar produced more than 800 horsepower thanks to a pair of turbos.
Losee built a new car and decided to set a Bonneville Salt Flats land speed record. Losee managed to qualify at 237.1 mph after a frustrating day of trying.
The story of the MM Enzo is over. Losee ordered another set of doors to be removed from their tops during his ownership. This would make Losee the first and only removable-roof Enzo in the world.
The MM Enzo has been posting its best photos on Instagram lately. Although he is racking up miles, @dryl8k doesn’t actually own the car. Losee has lent the car to @dryl8k through an arrangement. He recently logged 90,000 miles. This feat is remarkable considering that only 493 examples of the car were ever made. We also know of a few Enzos which have unfortunately died and were not rebuilt in the same way as this one.
We will be waiting eagerly for the moment when the MM Enzo reaches 100,000 miles. We expect someone will question the inevitable question when it happens: Is the MM Enzo’s value going higher because of its unique history, achievements, and achievements?
