Twin Turbo Ferrari Enzo Sets 238mph Record

The Twin-Turbo Ferrari Enzo from Richard Losee has set a class record speed of 238mph at Bonneville this weekend. Officially, it is now both the fastest and most driven (31,366 miles) Enzo ever.

After some hurdles they eventually achieved a speed of 238.142mph and average run of 237.81mph, setting a Class C (360 cubic-inch) Blown Fuel Modified Sport category and overall Enzo top-speed record.

Overall the speed gain is only 12mph above the top speed of the stock car, simply by using twin turbos, skinny low-friction tires, and some aero improvements.
