Many supercar owners across the globe have run into the same
problem. If you upgrade and customize your car to the nth degree, it may become
too loud to drive on public roads. The easy fix? Drive it solely on a race
track.
This rare Ferrari doesn’t have that particular problem.
Rather, it’s so loud that it can’t even drive around certain race courses. Meet
the Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo ZXX. It’s a custom, one-off
version of the hallowed Enzo supercar, which, when new, generated 660
horsepower out of the Ferrari factory gates.
It now wields somewhere in the region of 840 horsepower,
eclipsed only by the sheer volume of its exhaust, which it demonstrated earlier
this year during a trip to the Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit in Belgium.
Take a listen, but be warned—it’s loud.
According to carcrushing, that raucous exhaust howl was just too much
for the circuit’s noise limit restrictions (107 decibels for road cars), and
after reverberating its eardrum-crushing 142 dB exhaust note through the
Belgian hills for only three laps, the custom Ferrari Enzo was asked to leave
the track.
This certainly isn’t the first time the one-off Enzo ZXX has
grabbed headlines. In 2011, the Ferrari crashed into the Atlantic Ocean during
the Targa Newfoundland rally, though owner Zahir Rana didn’t let a little
saltwater spoil his fun. Instead, he sent the car back to Germany’s Edo
Competition for repairs and requested it be built into a street-legal version
of its very non-street-legal sister, the
Ferrari FXX track car. Mission accomplished.
