Crashed Enzo Ferrari - painful to see! - Team-BHP

Ashok · 22nd February 2006, 01:54

Happened this morning on Pacific Coast Highway in California. I've driven the road a few times and cannot believe the maniac who would drive a car at such a speed on this scenic route; he must have been doing close to 300km/h:

Don't think it'll be hard to find the driver - my guess is he had been drinking and that's why he ran away.... what an arse!

OUCHHHHHH !!!!!! IM FEELING BAD FOR THE EXOTIC NOT THE DRIVER ! such people shouldnt be given such cars man !!!!!!! Look at the state of the car !

ENZO FERRARI WILL THINK OF COMING OUT OF HIS GRAVE AND STABBING THE DRIVER TO DEATH !!!!!! lol lol

Deeps · 22nd February 2006, 02:21

Holy ****!!! Never seen an exotic that has completely split in half and engine+drivetrain lying on the side of the road. Its not hard to belive that the idiot was going at at least 150mph. And in the link provided, the guy said that he was the passenger and that the driver ran off after the crash....lol!

n_aditya · 22nd February 2006, 07:28

racing with an SLR??? on a public road?

why dont they come to the track day in Chennai?

dhirajs · 22nd February 2006, 07:37

What a loooser!

,this happens to be the 5th enzo crash,rite??

Read the article-it sayz he was slightly drunk,racing a SLR & went airborne.Nowww thats crazy fun!only if he had not wrecked it.

Any vids of a carrera GT vs Enzo?

Sahil · 22nd February 2006, 07:41

Its suprising that he was alive after such a crash, him being able to run away is even more astonishing!!
So who won the race? The SLR or the Ferrari

GTO · 22nd February 2006, 09:18

How easy is it to split an Enzo into two? I think this is the third picture I am seeing, of an Enzo crash with the front and rear ends lying separately on the road.

Too bad for the car. And I can just hear a SLR driver from the west coast laugh out loud

GTO

woah....thts a baaad one.....lookin at the rds no wonder he was puttin pedal to the metal...

ajmat · 22nd February 2006, 09:56

Driver ran away and owner who was the passenger does not have a clue !!!! Gimme a break, with CSI style technology - the truth will be a no brainer!

Is it me or that there are too many Ferrari drivers who think that they are god and fall to earth pretty fast

At least it makes the car even rarer and keeps resale values up!

v1p3r · 22nd February 2006, 13:32

Is that engine up for sale?!

Actually the driver was the owner..the investigators are speculating that the driver and the owner were one..reason being..there was blood on the owners face and none on the passenger side airbag, but some on the driver side airbag..

also the Enzo here is showing a classic F1 safety design where the engine and everything shreds to pieces on impact whereas the caqbin remains intact..or this could just be a very very lucky day for the unlucky driver...

They say this guy seems to be 2x years old..son of a rich father..

spoilt brat

Another gunshot to dippys heart man these cars are heading to extinction quicker than tigers now....Dippy do'nt worry man We'll stick to Salilfarina if necessary LOL!

adya33 · 23rd February 2006, 07:22

bad to see,
another proof in showing that driving skills not necessarily increase with pocket size.

apperently car owner was passenger during incident & his alcohol level was above legal limit.
