Enrico Benzing (June 17, 1932 – living) is an Italian engineer and journalist, son of the writer Mario Benzing.

After studying engineering and aerodynamics, he wrote for the daily newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" as Motoring-Editor and Formula One races reporter. Since 1974 he writes for "Il Giornale", created by Indro Montanelli, with critical and technical contributions about the Formula One races. He was Technical Scrutineer of the Italian Motorcycling Federation during several Italy Moto-Tours and he represented Italy in the Technical Commission of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. In 1963 he was the first winner of the "Dino Ferrari" Prize. In 1977 he has won the "Premiolino" for a scoop about Enzo Ferrari. Member of the British "Society of Engineers", he has projected many wings for race cars, also Formula One, and he has published twelve books: among them, monographs about single cars, scientific treatises about engine-technology, aerodynamics ("Ali / Wings. Studio per tecnici e piloti di auto da corsa. Study for Racing Car Engineers and Drivers", Milano, 1992, bilingual Italian-English) and a treatise about the relations between aerodynamics and power in the race-cars ("Dall'aerodinamica alla potenza in Formula 1. Mezzo secolo di motori in analisi", Milano, 2004) with the original algorithm, invented by the Author, to calculate the power from aerodynamics. Many of his books are owned by the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and by the British Library, London.
