The only matte black Ferrari Enzo ever built is for sale and it was made for the Brunei Royal Family

The Ferrari Enzo is already one of the most desirable modern Ferraris ever made, but this particular example has something almost none of the others can claim.

Finished in a factory-applied matte black called Nero Opaco, it was specially commissioned by a member of the Brunei Royal Family.

Now, more than two decades later, the one-off hypercar is back on the market through RM Sotheby’s.

It has covered just a few thousand miles since it was delivered new, and its story gets even more interesting when you find out exactly where it spent its early life.

The matte black Ferrari Enzo was made for Brunei royalty

Only 400 production Enzos were built between 2002 and 2004, making any example a serious collector’s supercar.

But Ferrari gave certain customers the opportunity to specify their cars in unusual colors, and this particular customer took that opportunity much further than most.

The Enzo was ordered new by a member of the Brunei Royal Family, a family famous for commissioning some of the world’s most extravagant one-off cars.

Rather than choosing Ferrari’s famous Rosso Corsa red, the buyer requested Nero Opaco – a matte black finish that was extremely unusual for Ferrari at the time.

According to RM Sotheby’s, it became the only Enzo delivered new from Maranello in the matte finish.

Construction began on June 8, 2004, and the car was completed in October of that year before being delivered to London.

It was initially kept at the Brunei family’s London residence and reportedly made occasional appearances around Hampstead, Mayfair and Knightsbridge before eventually being moved to the Asia-Pacific region.

The specification is just as atmospheric inside, with Nero leather and carpets complemented by red instruments and larger seats.

And underneath all that black paint is the same spectacular machine as every other Enzo.

The 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 produces around 651 horsepower, while the car’s carbon-fiber construction, F1-derived technology, and six-speed automated manual gearbox helped make it one of the defining supercars of its era – the Enzo could reach around 221 mph.

The one-off supercar is now for sale

The car has had some serious attention since leaving the Brunei collection.

In 2022, it was sent back to Europe and entrusted to Carrozzeria Zanasi, the facility responsible for Ferrari’s hypercars, Icona models and Tailor Made cars.

More than €110,000 was spent on the cosmetic restoration, including replacing the headlights, rear bonnet glass and the notoriously sticky interior switches.

Most importantly, the car was completely refinished in its original Nero Opaco color.

It also received Ferrari Classiche certification in 2022, with its original chassis, engine, gearbox and bodywork retained.

Today, the Enzo has covered just 5,763 kilometers, or around 3,580 miles, since new, its clutch and both fuel pumps were also replaced in August 2024, when the car had covered 5,742 kilometers.

Now RM Sotheby’s is offering the car through its Sealed September sale, with the estimate available upon request.

There is no question that it will cost considerably more than the roughly $660,000 the Enzo commanded when new.

In fact, rare Enzos have already reached multimillion-dollar territory, with one particularly significant example selling for $17 million in January 2026.

But for someone looking for a Ferrari Enzo, it would be difficult to find one with a stranger backstory than this.

It is a factory matte black Ferrari, commissioned by Brunei royalty, kept at a London residence and restored by Ferrari’s own specialists.

And, most importantly, there is only one of them.
