The owner of this Ferrari Enzo drove it too much, and it cost him $6 million

Buy a Ferrari Enzo Driving it seems perfectly logical. After all, Maranello equipped it with a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine, over 650 ch, and a claimed top speed of 350 km/h. In the classic car market, however, this is practically a mistake. The owner of this black Enzo could soon find that out the hard way—at a cost of several million dollars.

The car in question will be offered by Broad Arrow on August 14, 2026, at The Quail Auction in California. Its estimate? Between $9 million and $11 million, with no reserve price. A considerable sum, yet one that seems almost modest when compared to certain Enzos sold since the beginning of the year.

21,000 km

This 2003 Enzo has exactly 13,268 miles on it, or about 21,350 km. That’s a negligible distance for a 23-year-old car, but in the world of Ferrari Collectible items follow different rules.

Yet the car has some serious selling points. It is one of only twelve Enzos destined for the United States painted in Nero D.S., and among those, one of only three featuring a Rosso leather interior. It has had three owners since it was delivered, and its maintenance has been handled by Ferrari Newport Beach, Ferrari Denver, and Scottsdale Ferrari, among others. In 2026, it even received Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that its major components are original. Its owner has also spent over $80,000 on a major overhaul and various repairs. In other words, this is certainly not a neglected Enzo. Its main «flaw» is simply that it has been driven.

Six million lost… or not!

The comparison with the black Ferrari Enzo that sold for $15.185 million in March 2026 is stark. With only about 450 miles on the odometer, that one was practically brand-new. If this particular car sells for $9 million, its owner will have a car valued at $6 million less. On paper, that difference amounts to about $467 for every additional mile driven. It’s enough to make it seem like driving your Ferrari Enzo is a very bad financial decision… But this dramatic comparison needs to be qualified, because the market doesn’t value all Enzos the same way.

Another black 2003 Enzo, sold in Phoenix in January 2026, puts these figures into perspective. Despite having only 746 miles on the odometer, it sold for $9.3 million. That amount is actually very close to the low estimate of $9 million assigned to our Enzo… even though the latter has over 13,000 miles on the odometer.

And other recent transactions confirm just how much results can vary. A red Enzo with 3,000 miles sold for $11.11 million in January 2026, a gray one with similar mileage sold for $10.23 million in May 2026, while an extremely rare yellow Enzo with just 649 miles on the odometer soared to $17.875 million.

An estimate that is, after all, quite ambitious

In this context, the $9 million to $11 million that Broad Arrow is hoping for doesn’t seem so low after all. It might even seem ambitious given the car’s mileage. The black Enzo that sold for $9.3 million in January had been driven nearly 18 times fewer miles.

The difference lies elsewhere. The example on offer at The Quail features a particularly rare configuration: it is one of only twelve Enzo Nero D.S. models delivered to the United States and one of only three with a Rosso interior. It also boasts a documented history with three owners, Ferrari Classiche certification obtained in 2026, and over $80,000 in recent work.

Given its mileage, it’s unlikely to easily reach the 15.185 million achieved by the nearly-new model sold in March. But reaching the announced range of 9 to 11 million despite having over 21,000 km on the odometer would already be quite an achievement.
