Formula One veteran Fernando Alonso prepares to part ways with his prized possession, the iconic Ferrari Enzo. With the first body, known as Scocca n.1, this exceptional vehicle will be up for sale at the Monaco Car Auctions L’AstaRossa event on June 8. Experts predict that this remarkable machine will fetch more than $5.4 million (5 million euros).

Alonso's Ferrari Enzo boasts the classic Rosso Corsa color, perfectly complementing its timeless design. The vehicle comes accompanied by a Ferrari Classiche Red Book, serving as a certificate of authenticity, affirming that the car meets all original specifications. Moreover, it proudly displays its distinction as Scocca n.1. Remarkably, the odometer reads a mere 2,983 miles (4,800 kilometers), further enhancing its allure.

During his tenure from 2010 to 2014, Alonso proudly raced for the esteemed Scuderia Ferrari squad. It was during this period that the renowned automaker produced the Ferrari Enzo, a limited-edition masterpiece manufactured between 2002 and 2004. While the details surrounding how Alonso acquired this extraordinary example of automotive excellence remain undisclosed, it undoubtedly reflects his deep appreciation for the brand's heritage and performance prowess.

The Enzo, drawing inspiration from Formula One cars, showcases an exquisite design that exudes speed and aerodynamic finesse. Equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine, generating 651 horsepower at 7,800 rpm, this powerhouse delivers an unrivaled driving experience. Complementing its performance, the Enzo features a six-speed automated manual gearbox, seamlessly transferring power to the wheels. With a limited production run of just 400 units, it's no surprise that these automotive masterpieces command prices well over $1 million in today's market.

While Alonso's ownership of the Enzo solidifies his place among the privileged few, he is not alone in the Formula One fraternity to embrace this extraordinary vehicle. Ferrari crafted a custom Enzo as a gift for racing legend Michael Schumacher. This exclusive Enzo boasted special touches, including electric windows, a Bose stereo system, Rosso Scuderia brake calipers, and personalized features like Schumacher's logo on the seats and door sills. Furthermore, it proudly displayed the driver's signature alongside the autograph of the then-boss, Luca di Montezemolo, gracing the hood with a touch of historical significance.

The L’AstaRossa auction promises an exciting lineup of 42 Ferraris available for discerning collectors. Among the lots, one can find the intriguing 365 GTC/4 "Beach Car" by Michelotti, a unique creation featuring no top or doors, complemented by a denim-upholstered interior. Additionally, enthusiasts can marvel at a rare 250 GT, boasting a body by Carrozzeria Boano, and a captivating 1988 328 GTS equipped with a Koenig body kit, adding a touch of eccentricity to the event.
