    red.

    There is a significant 'bloom' on the edges, I think it's a not so great camera and hasn't the range to handle reds cleanly. So it ends up looking orange.

    But if it just the lighting, then what colour is the car on the left? It's red, right? I don't know what colour the Enzo is but chances are it is red because I have never seen an orange Enzo

    Doesn't work if the camera has poor red registration.
    Then the range of reds will come out exagerated.

    I think its orange, just look at everthing around it and in the background, it all appears to have normal and natural colours. The best example is the red car beside it, and the colour of peoples skin, if it was not true colours, then they wouldn't show up correctly. Is it really that inconcievable that someone painted their Enzo orange?

    it's most definately red, because i can't detect any yellow in the paint, it's just bad lighting. it would be cool if there was an orange Enzo though

    RED, simply because as some of you have said, ive never seen this car before if it was orange. And everyone would know if it was, its a shame it didnt have the registration plate on, that way we could find out anyway a blind man would be glad to see it!!!!!

    Explain those purple jumpers - NO ONE would buy something that gross would they

    Red is a difficult colour for cameras and often ends up incorrectly captured/reproduced.
    Photographers have struggled with it for over 50 years

    I just posted this in another thread:

    That looks photoshopped to me... it's a little fuzzy around some of the edges. It was most likely someone not trying to fool anyone; rather, they were just curious about how it would look in orange, and did a (very simple) hue/saturation conversion. You can make basically any red object look realistically orange.

    EDIT: UWR posted this a loooong time ago:

    The orange is not orange it is just poor colours on the phot showing a red colour.
    The correct Ferrari Red colour is Rosso Corsa DS 322.
    The Scuderia Rosso - (not Rosso dino or the like) is the Italian National Motorsports colour like the British Racing green in England.

    The Enzo is offered in any colour - following is standard colours:
    Rosso Corsa
    Tour de France blue - metallic blue
    Blu Pozzi - dark blue
    Giallo Modena - Yellow
    Nero - Black
    Argento Nurburging - Silver
    Nuovo Nero Daytona - Metallic black
    Rosso Scuderia - Racing red

    Then there are the non standard colours which are the same avaiable for 575M, 612 & 360 among other the White.

    And for extra payment you can even mix your own colour on a piece of paper and have the car painted in that colour if you like.
    How about a purple metallic? Anyone got Photoshop...

    And just to set records completely clear, the real Ferrari colour is Giallo Modena - Yellow,as a tribute to Modena City, who´s colour is also Yellow (hence the name Giallo Modena)

    People people, there's a red car right next to the Enzo and you can see clearly the difference.

    Angle/flash/light/weatherCondition/ etc etc etc I find it hard that a camera can change the color of the car SO drastically, specially if the one right next to it is as red as it gets.

    Think about it for a sec.

    I think it's orange.

    Despite being such an eaily-photshopped picture, all of us (including myself) who voted red are actually wrong . I did a little background research.

    This is real Orange/Black - Rosso Dino/Nero (interior) Enzo. It is the only one of that colour, and is owned by an American. I guarantee that this is a real orange Enzo.

    Anyone who votes red after this post is either stupid, or didn't read this
