TAXI! Ferrari Enzo cab spotted

November 27, 2008 by Karl Peskett  


You’re retired, with millions in the bank, but you’re bored. Whaddyado? You go and paint your Ferrari Enzo in taxi livery and start charging for rides, don’t you?

Well, in Oman, someone has done just that. We’re a bit worried about someone being picked up from the airport, though; where would you put the luggage? Still, it’d be one hell of a ride.

Just don’t call for this taxi when you’re blind drunk on a Saturday night. The 0-100km/h sprint may just be a little nauseating. Not to mention the paint work!

    That’s still and always will be a ugly Ferrari

    Its what happens when a Japanese was running Pininfarina, alas he has been given the boot.

    Oh, and so sorry Enzo that they insult you and call a car after your name, anything for them to make a quick buck, no respect at all…

    PS/ LinFox has one painted up in his family-truck paint scheme too [At Docklands museum]

    Cheers

    sorry frugal but your drunk, this is one of THE most beautiful cars, sound and looks to grace the earth, i think u should stick to hyundai’s buddy…
    On this car, i would love to meet the owner extend my hand out then proceed to lift it with force towards his face and SMASH HIS HEAD in for doing that to the car, no accounting for taste with money….

    LOL, i think the guy that owns this car got jealous when someone in America Made a Lamborghini Murciélago TAXI. So this guy went out bought a Ferrari Enzo and turned it into a CAB. not to mention their are also a few Porche Taxi’s around the world, 911’s and cayenne’s.

    & at least this rich person isn’t scared to spend his money. Where as other rich ppl are saving up still.

    & i do agree with Frugal_0ne, that isn’t the nicest looking ferrari. Sure it might be better looking than the F430, 599, 612, & California but it still doesn’t look any where near as good as any Lamborghini or Aston.

    Aston Rapide Taxi! A black one in London would look good, but that horrid yellow the Victoria taxis have would look really bad.

    Well, at current Taxi rates, it would be a very cheap ride for a car like this. And all the bongo brains claiming how abhorrent it is will never own one anyway, so get on your bikes and stop your whining. I would bet anything that you wouldn’t say no to a ride, irrespective how ir looks
