You should never cry over spilled milk but Megan Fox’s wedding to that Z-grade actor is worth shedding some man tears for. However, milk on the floor doesn’t come with a V12 and Megan Fox might come with two shapely turbos of her own but they surely don’t run on 1.4-bars of boost.

The Enzo in question here belongs to Richard Losee and met its demise at the Fast Pass Rally in 2006. Rather than write it off, Losee popped open a can of awesome and downed it then proceeded to restore and convert the car into a 1,000hp salt flat speed machine.

Although the details are still unconfirmed, the Enzo now runs on skinny tyres for reduced drag and a modified nose for a reduced drag coefficient. The ride height has been lowered too to keep things solid on those runs.



Even the body of the car is courtesy of James Glickenhaus, the guy behind the custom one-off Ferrari P4/5. The sheet metal is indeed the original body that was used on the P4/5.

Sitting at the rear is the same 6-liter V12 lump but with a turbo attached to each bank. The grapevine whispers that on low boost of around 0.8-bars, power stands at 850hp. Crank the boost dial up a little to 1.4-bars and the 1,000hp mark is easily eclipsed.

The Enzo should do its thing at the Speed Week that’s currently ongoing at the holy grounds of high-speed runs, the Bonneville Salt Flats. Needless to say, the 364km/h top speed of the stock Enzo should be lost in the salts of the plains.
