- This is the only Ferrari Enzo painted in Matte Nero Opaco from the factory.
- After leaving the Brunei royal family’s collection, the car was sold to New Zealand.
- Prices of low-mileage Ferrari Enzos have reached over $10 million this year.
Collector interest in Ferrari’s most iconic hypercars has reached fever pitch this year. Values of models like the Enzo have skyrocketed, and in just three weeks, arguably the most unique of all will be sold in what could very well turn out to be a record price.
Unsurprisingly, the most popular color for the Ferrari Enzo was Rosso Corsa, followed by Giallo Modena and Nero. However, this car is the one and only painted in Matte Nero Opaco, a shade of matte black that was optioned well before automotive paints like this became popular. It was originally ordered by a member of the Royal Family of Brunei and delivered to their London residence.

Full ownership details haven’t been provided, but it’s understood the car was later sold to someone in New Zealand, before being moved to Canada in 2022 after it was sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s for an undisclosed amount.
That same year, the car was sent to Carrozzeria Zanasi in Europe, where more than €110,000 ($127,700) was spent on its restoration, which included replacing the infamous “sticky” switches, front and rear headlights, and rear bonnet glass, as well as a full respray in the original paint. It has been well maintained ever since, receiving a new clutch, fuel pumps, and a left-side valve cover gasket in August 2024. Currently, the car has been driven just 5,763 miles (9,274 km).

As with the previous auction four years ago, RM Sotheby’s is selling this Enzo through its ‘Sealed’ sales platform, rather than a public auction, meaning an eventual sales figure will not be disclosed. However, based on recent sales results of other low-mileage examples, it’s safe to assume it will easily sell for more than $10 million, making the Enzo one of the most valuable cars of this century.
Compared to most other examples out there, the matte black paint of this one makes it look quite special, although if we were in the market for one, we’d probably want one painted red. Call us boring, but Rosso Corsa is the one mostly associated with the Prancing Horse’s supercars, hence its popularity, and it does show off the Enzo’s revolutionary, for the time, design beautifully.
