Canadian who Drove Ferrari Enzo into the Atlantic Says he's "Gonna do Bigger, Better Next Time"

By ekkii | Published Monday, January 2, 2012

You may not recall Zahir Rana’s name, but you will surely remember his bright yellow, Edo-prepped Ferrari Enzo taking a dive into the Atlantic last September, since the incident was recorded and subsequently posted on YouTube where it made quite a splash.

Now, if you can afford to buy an Enzo, customize it to the tune of 860-horses and compete in a race with it, then the US$100,000 tab for repairing the damages sustained during this unscheduled plunge into the water may seem like small change.

U SPY: Is this a Prototype for the Ferrari Enzo's Replacement?

By ekkii | Published Tuesday, December 27, 2011

During a recent trip to Maranello to visit the Ferrari Museum, Carscoop reader Edward Chew along with a close friend spotted this heavily camouflaged Ferrari prototype (or test mule) doing the rounds on the Italian firm's Fiorano test track.

Edward tells us that he and his friend were not sure what kind of model might be hiding behind all that cladding.

If you take a closer look at the prototype in the scoop pictures, you'll see that it has an extremely low bonnet and air outlets located at the rear end of the car, which can only mean that this is a mid-engine Ferrari model.

Now, we only know of one new mid-engined supercar that Ferrari has officially confirmed, and that's the Enzo's successor.

Ferris Bueller might have borrowed his father’s 250 GT California to indulge himself for a day, but Jamiroquai’s lead singer, Jay Kay, can indulge in a Ferrari any day – and twice on Sundays.

You see, Jay Kay spends his hard-earned money on cars. Especially those vehicles with the prancing horse adorning their bonnet. And he’s got lots of them – both cash and Ferraris.

Therefore, when he shows up at Maranello, he is treated more than a VIP, a celebrity or a valued customer: he gets treated like all three together.

Video: Watch a Modded Ferrari Enzo Take a Dip into the Atlantic Ocean

By ekkii | Published Monday, September 19, 2011

Between 2002 and 2004, Ferrari built a limited run of approximately 400 Enzo supercars. Understandably, being such an extremely rare car, when an Enzo bites the dust, or rather in this case, the sea, the news makes headlines.

This particular accident involved a 2003 Ferrari Enzo tuned by Edo Competition that was driven by Calgary car dealer Zahir Rana at the Targa Newfoundland Rally in Canada.

At some point during the race, Rana lost control of the Italian supercar after hitting a hard bump on the gravel sending it straight into the ocean…
