In the early 2000s, the Brunei Royal Family held an influence over the automotive world that eclipsed that of kings, industrialists, and almost every other car enthusiast. Over the years, the family amassed what is widely regarded as the most extraordinary car collection ever assembled—a fleet so special that its worth rivalled the GDP of small nations. The family’s orders kept European marques busy, while their patronage even helped sustain entire manufacturers.
It was never in doubt that a Ferrari Enzo would join the collection, but rather than opting for Rosso Corsa, the family used their influence to order something very special indeed. At a time when matte paint finishes were virtually unheard of on production supercars, and years before the look would become a global trend, they asked Ferrari for something no customer had ever received: an Enzo finished in matte black.
