Fernando Alonso’s First

Sep 08, 2023

Aside from being owned by the Formula 1 champ, it is also the very first unit built and has been driven less than 3,000 miles

The prized Ferrari Enzo owned by Fernando Alonso for the past 12 years is heading to auction next month and may sell for €5 million ($5.36 million). That would make it the most valuable Enzo ever sold.

While it is unclear why Alonso is parting ways with the famed Italian supercar, it is made particularly special by the fact that it is the very first Enzo that was built, officially known as Scocca n.1. In addition, the car has only been driven ~4,800 km (2,983 miles) and appears to be in excellent condition.

The car is being sold by Monaco Car Auctions as part of its L’AstaRossa auction which includes 41 other prized Ferrari models. Unfortunately, the auction house has provided very few details about Alonso's Enzo, such as a detailed report of its ownership history and movements over the years. What we do know is that it is finished in the popular color of Rosso Corsa and comes with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book certifying it as the first Enzo built.

One interesting aspect of Alonso's Enzo is that it has carbon fiber seats wrapped in black Alcantara with red stitching and red Prancing Horse logos on the headrests. Many other Enzos left the factory with seats clad in leather, cloth, or a combination of the two.

While Alonso's Enzo may be the most expensive to trade hands, it isn't the lowest-mileage example we’ve seen hit the market recently. In March, a silver 2003 Ferrari Enzo was listed up for sale in Ontario, Canada with just 141 miles (227 km) on the clock.

As a reminder, the Ferrari Enzo is powered by a 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12 that was good for 651 hp when the car was new. This engine is mated exclusively to a six-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shifters that sends power through the rear wheels.
