    17/01 - Ferrari will auction car in benefit of victims of tsunami
    The Ferrari will construct a unit of its model "Enzo" to be donated to an auction that it will collect deep for the victims of tsunami Asian. Of the model "Enzo", that it takes the name of the mythical founder of it would escuderia and it is practically a Formula 1 of road, 399 units and vendido to a price of 640.000 euros had only been produced.
    However, the president of Ferrari, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, ordered to produce a unit of the "Enzo", number 400, so that the auction goes. The decision, bonanza in the history of the house of Maranello, was announced by the director-generality of the Ferrari, the Frenchman Jean Todt, after the private hearing granted to this morning for the Pope Joćo Pablo II In a recent auction, a unit of the "Enzo" reached the cipher of 800.000 euros, therefore it is previsible that of now it surpasses 1 million of euros.

    An excerpt about it from the Ferrari press-release:

    With this tale the meeting with journalists held immediately the audience with the Pope was wrapped up. During the press conference, held in the Vatican’s Press Office, Jean Todt announced the President Montezemolo had decided to construct an Enzo ‘number 400’. The additional version of the limited edition 12-cylinder will be donated to Caritas before being auctioned and the proceeds sent to the victims of the tsunami in South East Asia.

    Of course the built more than 400.

    Prototypes, pre-production development, crash testing, they all needed cars to do that, and they didn't sell them on to the public.

    They only made 399 for sale. If they are donating a 400th car to charity, that isn't changing the number of cars that were on sale.
    Thanks for all the fish

    The only reason for donating it is that it can become part of the number sold, I don't see any of the victims having any use of an Enzo, they want the equivalent value in money. Ergo, the car will be sold and 400 will be the magic number.

    I thought they've already build 400 and put number 400 in the museum
    I think Koenigsegg is Swedish for: "Oh no, my head's just exploded!"

    I thought the 400th car was for the factory museum? Does this mean that their won't be an Enzo in the museum or is their like 403 and they just bust one out of storage for the museum?
