</div>The [[Ferrari Enzo]] is a 12-cylinder [[Ferrari]] supercar named after the company's founder, [[Enzo Ferrari]]. It was built in 2003 using Formula One technology. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics. After a downforce of 775&nbsp;kg (1709&nbsp;lb) is reached at 300&nbsp;km/h (186&nbsp;mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce. The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company [[Maserati]]'s [[Maserati Quattroporte|Quattroporte]], using the same basic architecture and 104&nbsp;mm bore spacing. <small>([[Ferrari Enzo|more...]])</small>
