Arash AF10
Arash AF10 Details, Images Released
We reported earlier this year the product of snubbed would-be Enzo buyer Arash Farboud, the Arash AF10, was getting closer to production. Now we have details and what looks like photos of a working prototype. Powered by GM's 505 HP 7.0-liter LS7 found in the Z06, the "Enzo-killer" should hit a 3.4 second 0-to-60 time (within a tenth of the Enzo) with a top speed of 204 MPH. All of this comes at a price of just $300,000 (w/VAT) for one of the 25 cars annually produced, a few of which, we're told, are destined for the US. The company also announced plans for an FXX-fighting AF10-S version with a planned 850 HP, proving that hell hath no fury like a wealthy car-collector scorned. Details below the jump.

Enzo-Replacing "FX70" Test Mule Spotted Outside Ferrari Test Facility
The next-generation Ferrari Enzo, a project known internally at Ferrari as FX70, has been spotted wearing the skin of an F430 Scuderia. Giving it away as something else are the cobbled-together appearance, oddly long wheelbase, and fighter-jet-sized exhaust outlet stuck right in the middle of the lower rear fascia. So what's exhaling through that massive pipe? No one is sure yet, but rumor has it a twin-turbo V8 will power the FX70, providing performance equivalent to that found on the Enzo. A half-million dollar price tag and production run of about 300 units is also expected. [WCF]

Exclusive: Texas Man Rebuilds $1.5 Million Ferrari Enzo Destroyed By Eddie Griffin
As part of the run-up PR-fest for Redline, a schlock-fest of a movie, actor Eddie Griffin "lost control" ( can someone say "publicity stunt?" ) of a $1.5 million Ferrari Enzo and crashed it in spectacularly excruciating fashion. The car suffered major front end damage and most considered it totaled due to the delicate carbon fiber bodywork. Not Texan luxury car repair and salesman Matt Groner. No, Groner figured if he could get his hands on the Enzo, it had a fighting chance. As you can see from the picture gallery below, he was right. Jeez, who knew when we launched the "Save The Enzos" campaign, someone would actually save one? The dramatic video of the original incident, pictures of the carnage and Matt's exclusive story of how he brought the Enzo back to life are all below the jump.

Enzo-Replacing Ferrari Mule Spotted Testing In Germany
There has been an awful lot of Ferrari news lately, considering the unveil of the 2009 Ferrari California, the official announcement of the oft-rumored Ferrari hybrid program, and news the Enzo replacement would come in a high-powered fun-sized package. Given that, speculation on the latest round of spy photographs is basically an exercise in throwing a dart at the wall. This taped up and modified F430 was captured in Germany and, among the suspicious elements, the exhaust tucked up under the body in an Enzo-like fashion is the one which most raises interest. Well, that and the taped-over rear window. While some are claiming it's the Enzo replacement, they're also claiming it'll have a turbocharged V6 or use the California's direct-injection V8. According to our sources, they're wrong. More »

Edo Competition Tuned Ferrari Enzo Is No Fierrari Enzno
Yesterday we told you all about the greatest Fierrari Enzno ever built, a piece of kit with such attention to detail it would make a Swiss watchmaker weep. Today we pick up on another niche coachbuilder following in the footsteps of the Fierrari, Edo Competition. Despite starting off with an actual Enzo instead of a Pontiac Fiero, Edo totally falls flat when compared to the magic of the Enzno. In-depth analysis below the fold. More » -

The Greatest Fierrari Enzno Ever Sold
We've seen a lot of Fierraris lately, hopefully the world runs out of Fieros eventually so we aren't subjected to the ongoing night terrors they induce, but this one is particularly brash. This p**sy magnet yellow Fierrari Enzno is perhaps the finest example of the breed, complete with crooked, off-brand Ferrari prancing horse logos, four off-kilter exhaust tips, pop-up DVD player, brilliantly executed engine-cover-mounted TV antenna, luxurious APC racing seats... the list goes on and on. The best part is this car's claim to fame.

Hide the Enzos? Stefan Eriksson Goes Free
The man who launched a thousand memes after crashing a Ferrari Enzo on the PCH that wasn't technically his — was just released from a California jail where he's spent the past two years on charges of embezzlement in November 2006, days after a jury had failed to agree a verdict on charges he had stolen two Ferrari Enzos and a top-end Mercedes-Benz. Stefan Eriksson, the former Gizmondo executive, who goes by other names including "Fat Steffe" (in Sweden), "Ferrari Steffen" (in the US) and "The Evil One Who Destroys Beautiful Things" (in Maranello, Modena Italy), was transferred to a detention facility outside of LA on December 13th as he awaits transport...
