:eek: ....Damn, now that's detail! Imagine if it was a die cast metal kit....

I prefer plastic to metal... unless it's etched metal of course.

This ones going straight to the top of my wants list. I just hope the engineering of the kit is OK, otherwise it could end up an over complex nightmare.

wow look awersome... but the price of this one will be so high !! outch

It states the body panels are put on as per the factory. Would be interesting to see what exactly they mean by that. It sounds like it may have seperate parts rather than a complete shell, which would be way cool. Of course, for the average modeller, that would be an absolute nightmare, but imagine the realism you could build into panel lines etc. when they are actually REAL panel lines!!!

I'm very keen on this kit. My only dilemma is how many kits do I buy... Obivously the minimum of 3 for each color.... hmmm... yummy...

So who's preordered one then?

Yet to order but cant wait for this one :flash:

I realy wonna build this, but based on Tamiyas recent performance I may have to wait for version 2 of the kit... when they iron out all the bugs and give you a few extra goodies:D

Like what?
Nissan & NISMO, Toyota & TRD, Mazda & Mazdaspeed, Subaru & STi, Porsche & Ruf, MB & AMG, and BMW & M, but what about Ferrari?
Maybe Koenig or FIA GT?

I hear rumor that there will be a 1:1 race version of the Enzo, but that it will be badged as a Masserati, and only based on the Enzo chasis and engine...

As for a second release, they'll probably just change the color of the pastic (see F50), like we don't paint the kit anyway:rolleyes:

I have heard today on good authority that the Enzo will be appearing in a 1/12 metal-body variant from Tamiya as well. I don't have any other details, but can assume it may well be similar to the Lotus Seven Master Coachwork series. That will be a SERIOUSLY NICE kit (Seriously pricey as well...)

If I hear any further info, I'll pass it on. That is, unfortunately, all I know at the moment...
