ENASA was owned by the I.N.I., a copy of the Italian I.R.I. Board of directors was most military. Ricart suggested them a Spanish-made supercar would be a propaganda of great effect for an isolated dictatorship regime.
More likely, Ricart wanted to put his name into automotive history, beside his mentors Dr. Porsche and E. Bugatti, and in the process, create a proper workforce in a creative way. The making of an price-no-object sportscar must be an in-house school for the country future automotive techicians.
The opening of the Spanish goverment to a some younger, civil and economical-oriented people on 1957, marked the end of the car and the power of his creator. Actualy he quit the company soon afterwards in an humble way.

Yes indeed. According the contract signed with Carrozzeria Touring,
a last batch of some 12 "Panoramica" bodies were finished and sent to ENASA during in 1955, when the Z-102 line in Barcelona had been "temporary halted to move and resume " in new large Madrid premises. It never was: Later on, these new bodies were filled with internals redundant or coming from previous dismantled cars on a small workshop outside the works. For instance, mechanics of the first unit nº 01 were used to assemble the unit nº 078, one of the several units shown at Pebble Beach on 1994 when the Pegaso was the guest marque.
