Design
The body has been redesigned to be more curvaceous and aerodynamic. Although the drag coefficient remains the same, downforce has been greatly enhanced. A great deal of Ferrari heritage is found in the car: at the rear, the
Enzo's tail lights and interior vents have been added. The car's name has been etched into the
Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front bumper are reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the
156 "sharknose" Formula One car and
250 TR61 Le Mans cars of
Phil Hill.
