The Pininfarina Enjoy is an open barchetta built by the Turin design house Pininfarina as its own branded sports car. It was first shown as a concept at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, conceived as a roadster for everyday use that could also be raced. Its block-type structure has a central body and four removable wings, giving a road configuration and an open-wheel circuit configuration, and it has no true windscreen, only two deflectors resting on the bonnet. The load-bearing chassis is extruded and bonded aluminium developed with technical help from Lotus, evolved from the Elise chassis, and the 1795 cc four-cylinder engine was tuned by Lotus to develop 135 bhp. A production version with a Louis Vuitton interior debuted in June 2004, planned as a run of 75 cars to mark the company's 75th anniversary. Sources disagree on the body material and on the final production numbers, so neither is stated here.
