The reason for Enrique’s build is a dedication for his brother who was murdered in 2007. He loved fast cars and had an expensive taste. With that being said, Enrique chose the RX-8 because of its speed and handling, but he also wanted to do something luxurious with it. He chose a path that any RX-8 owner would dislike, deciding to go VIP. With the RX-8, he knew that he could do both speed and luxury at the same time, just how his brother liked his cars.
