Ferrari Enzo Crash

[GTmike400]

I imagine many of you have seen this already, I saw this Tuesday night after the accident.

Drive was doing 120 down Malibu, careened into a ditch, went airborne, hit a telephone pole 5-10feet in the air, chopped both the poll and car in half, and the driver only had a busted lip.

Supposedly the passenger was the owner of the car, not the driver.

Very shady owner of the real car, was supposedly racing an SLR; his blood-alcohol level was .09 and they're not looking for the supposed "driver". The guy probably ended up in the passenger seat and was probably the only one in the car. When Enzos crash, they crash big. Considering the speed, the cockpit is amazingly intact. Probably hit the pole sideways behind the cockpit so it just sheered off.

all i can say is *what a freakin dumbass*, if he wanted to wreck an exotic, wreck a hopped up civic or something.

I read that they did find the owner, and the name. But I've read so many different articles that obviously nobody knows.

Wouldnt you think the Enzo is designed to split apart like that, similar to an F1 car?

Probably. Sad that asshats like that can own and destroy a car like that. Being near Hell-A the news hit the rest of the country rather fast.

I liked how no two reports were the same. Channel 2 out of Atl. had the speed at 200+ while one reporter in Chattanooga called the Ferrari an Anzio. You can always check out one of my favorite sites:

They have some good aftermath photos.

Channel 2 also called it a Formula 1 car.

The stupid runt w/a capital "c" at Autoblog Erin "Clueless" Mays described it as a "burned out" hulk.

News reporting is below pathetic.

Yeah, I've hear to reports about the speed. I've heard one being 200mph, and another being 120mph. If its 200kmh, that roughly equals 123mph.

I saw it on the ABC evening news. Rather poor attempt to make a Herbie the Love Bug. Could be a divorce: he gets the En, she gets the zo.

According to Autoweek: “The man found at the scene of the spectacular Enzo crash is Stefan Eriksson, 44, a former executive for European video game company Gizmondo. Gizmondo collapsed after Eriksson resigned amid allegations he had previously been convicted for counterfeiting in Sweden. Investigators now say the Enzo might have been traveling more than 160 mph, while a Scottish bank says it might own the car, which it failed to repossess. Scotland Yard lists another of Eriksson’s exotics – a Mercedes SLR, the same model the Enzo was allegedly racing – as stolen.”
