This is the 2003 Ferrari Enzo (134282), the 248th Enzo built in chronological order and the 83rd built for America, ordered new through Ferrari of Orange County. At one point in time, it was owned by one of the most influential figures in music and fashion industry, @pharrell. In 2003, after having successfully formed and contributed to multiple music groups, Pharrell teamed up with the multi-talented designer, producer and entrepreneur @nigo, the creator of the Japanese fashion brand, A Bathing Ape, in order to develop an American fashion label called Billionaire Boys Club (BBC), today 21, years later, @bbcicecream. The two met for the first time in 2001 in Japan and would later go on to leave a memorable impact in fashion, design, music, and culture forever with BBC and it’s sister company Ice Cream. Starting out with a now iconic space-themed logo developed by graphic designer ‘Sk8thing’, the company continues to develop genius designs to this day. After meeting NASA astronaut Leland Melvin through the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) program (BBC had interest in using their logos for the clothing), Pharrell’s fascination of outer space became a reality when Melvin took one of the T-shirts to space with him. The clothes debuted for the first time in Pharrell’s ‘Frontin’ music video alongside the artist’s white Ferrari 550 Maranello at the time. However, once Pharrell found out about the Enzo model, he knew he had to have one instead. Under Pharrell’s ownership, this car made appearance’s in Reebok and Ice Cream’s first ever skateboarding video, @teamicecream Vol.1 (2006), Pharrell and Gwen Stefani’s ‘Can I Have It Like That’ music video (2009), plus a number of other recognizable features. This is 1 of just 5 total Enzo’s that were finished with black paint and black leather for the U.S. market.
