Because when you buy a car like this it comes “racecar driver skills”.

TUT has released the hydra in response to the success of gasoline engines.

TUT will recall the hydra upon Toyotas release of diesel technology in the US.

Thanks,
The Management

Hey, if I was a billionaire…I wouldn’t mind crashing my Enzo neither:/ It’s just a shame that these people are buying these cars and ending up seriously hurt hotrodding around in them…not to mention the destruction of one of the most beautiful cars.

Poor car.

Metal mashes while Carbon Fibre shatters??

It seems each one of these Enzos biting the dust ended up with shards of Kevlar and a car broken in half like a toy.

I might just bolt in a steel roll cage in mine.

(Of course, my Enzo being a 1/18th scale, I can do it with the welding rod by itself.)

The more of these are destroyed the fewer ugly cars we have in the world. I don’t care if it does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, whats the point if it looks ugly doing it?

wonder if this guy ‘knew too much’.

its crazy how they split like that…oh well.

Kenny W,
Must you be the first to start with the stupid comments?
For you to be posting such an ignorant comment, i’d like to know what you drive yourself that makes it superior to the enzo? Grow up dude, im pretty sure if you were given one, your opinion would change.

I wonder if the female passenger was hot.

@MGBYG
it gets broken in half like a toy because it was designed to. you’ll notice that the passenger compartment is fully intact in every crashed enzo, just like they intended. the engine is likely to catch on fire in an accident (since nearly all are high speed in this car), so getting the engine away from passengers would be the primary objective.

The car performed as intended during the crash, as Zorlox said. In a crash such as this, I wouldn’t want to be in any car other than an Enzo.

Kenny, with all due respect, there is no need for that kind of comment on an enthusiast site. This is not a debate about how it looks. The car was designed for a specific function, and there’s not much that can match it in executing that function. Yes, it looks a bit like a high-speed aardvark, but you have to see it for what it is, and in that, it’s beautiful.

Toy Yoda: you BET she was. hah

I feel bad for the car but the fact that some ****head kremlin mafioso got cooked in the crash is cause for celebration. Maybe I should learn that cool russian dance where you jump up and kick your legs high, and stick a boot up his burned criminal ass.

Enzos do not photograph well but after seeing a few of them in person at a Ferrari show, I can tell you that it is a stunning car. Every bit as purposeful design as any that has come out of the Ferrari factory.

they need to make supercars harder to drive. scary even. then some douchebag with to much money will be afraid of it. he wont have the false confindce that he is next F1 star and wrap it around a tree. it would also probably sell more F430s

OR if your spending upwards of half a mil on a supercar it should be mandatory that you receive a two-day course on how to handle your purchase.

2days is not enough, it took me two days to read my owners manual. maybe a racing licenses, SCCA certification kinda thing. they deff need some kind of higher training thats for sure.

The Enzo doesnt look good in black anyway

The Enzo doesnt look good in black anyway

A sad day for Ferrari, but some people would claim it’s a good day for Russia? I dunno…

YouNameHere,
That is the best idea I have heard in a long time…really.

sharif…..thats not snow…its fire foam. they are in the French Riviera! did you not see the palm tree!? Andre…now, if only the govnt would do something. i doubt they ever would though. If they can classify cars for insurance reasons why not just add one more thing. and depending on the performance level the owner/drivers must take a certain training course. it seems scary that anyone with a $1mil can go and buy a Bugatti and drive past me at +250mph. on a side note…I live in the same town as Mario Andretti…has passed me this weekend in a Lambo Murcielago going well over 100mph.

^ +1
Sharif, Funny you are so quick to call someone a dumb-ass, yet didn’t notice the palm trees in the backround…where the heck have you ever seen snow & palm trees in the same place??? Anyway, like YourNameHere said, it is Fire Foam. I think they use it because it absorbs the oxygen or something like that…dunno the specifics.

i THINK (not sure) the use foam for chemical fires. might have something to do with the oil and gasoline the spilled.

hey, Ive been on this street! My hotel was 1/2 mile down the road. Models & Ferraris everywhere, I tell you…!

That’s crazy how they break in half. Anyway, if you read the article, it says he was BORROWING the car! HOW PISSED WOULD YOU BE IF THAT HAPPENED??? I’d go to the hospital and finish the guy off if that was my car he borrowed and broke in half…

Andre Neves,
In terms of pure speed my car is in no way shape or form superior to the Enzo. In terms of driving excitement, I’d put it up to the Enzo any day of the week. The Enzo is a car that 99% of the population couldn’t even enjoy at 6/10’s its capabilities. While I can drive my car at 9/10’s its respectable performance. As for its looks, well…those are subjective. So if you wish to disagree with me, that is your right. I still think the Enzo is one ugly car and there is no love lost over a crashed one. Ferrari has gone downhill since the 550/575M and this is the epitome of that downhill spiral.

As an auto enthusiast I think we sometimes loose perspective. It’s only a car, it can be replaced. The man, on the other hand, is in critical condition and can not be replaced.

“Ferrari has gone downhill since the 550/575M and this is the epitome of that downhill spiral.”

—I couldnt DISagree more with this statement Kenny. I agree that the 550/575 was one of the finest Ferrari ever made - but the modern variants are the most electrifying and capable cars made today. For me, I prefer simple and traditional versus high-tech so I still prefer a 355 to a 430 and an F50 to an Enzo but I can still recognize that the later versions are FAR superior cars - not to mention the fact they are more reliable than any prior Ferrari in terms of engine rebuilds and other major maintenance.

And as for the 575 replacement, the 599GTB, well its as fine a car as they’ve EVER made - a truly unique and beautiful exterior with the performance to match an Enzo(0-100 in 6.8)…

So DOWNHILL SPIRAL?? NO! HIGH-TECH which can take away some of the pure fun?? Yes.

ferrari stopped builind cars along time ago…now all the make is really expensive fashion statements. they need to get there hardcore edgeback.

This almost happened to me as well.Fresh off the showroom floor.Brand new BMW 325is.It would have been a spectacular intersection crash,but the brakes saved the day.ABS brakes.Seems like I put enough force on the brake pedal to flatten it to mush,but the car did not skid and,S–L–O–W–L–Y, E–A–S–E–D ,to a stop almost directly in contact with the opposing vehicle’s sheet metal of which I would have hit.

Toy Yoda,

The female passenger was Tina Kandelaki (not sure about the spelling), russian TV star.

man im so sick of ppl buying these cars and just wrecking them. why does ferrari not choose theyre customers more carefully to ensure that some stupid idiot doesnt ruin such a beautifull car just cause he doesnt know how to drive for ****. seriously why do u sell a 600hp car to ppl that can hardly handle a 60 hp car, just give it to me so i can show em how to drive it properly and not like a damn idiot

Bimmer, what’s your problem man.
I don’t understand why we can’t keep the comments on this site mature & respectful. Go post a comment in the streetfire.net video comment area, we don’t need that here. Grow up.

Felix

Ferrari does pick their customers very carefully. This Enzo was probably a resale (As all originals went to very well qualified customers). Many folks including yourself will say that they can drive better than someone else however we don’t know the logistics of this particular crash, and therefore should not be judging this particular persons driving ability (which almost certainly is higher than yours). and your comment about horsepower is almost completely irrellevant as horsepower is not your definitive factor in how difficult it will be to drive. Take an early porsche 911 the turbo was making 220 horsepower i believe and behaved through a corner like a hammer being thrown into the air, Heavy side first. As a corporation such as ferrari you would be much more worried about wether or not you would have repeat business from these people who crash not wether your product is still in tact.

“ferrari stopped builind cars along time ago…now all the make is really expensive fashion statements. they need to get there hardcore edgeback.”

—go for a ride in an Enzo, 430, 360CS or 430 Challenge or a 599 if you can find one. Then come back here and post how modern Ferraris have lost their “hardcore” edge. Your comments are normally insightful but this statement is just silly. Even the 612 would make you gasp so which models exactly do you find lacking a hardcore edge?????

Hahaha…excellent! One more piece of **** car destroyed. Keep ‘em coming, I love it!

Piece of **** car? Ah, after months of talking out of his ass, 1c3d0g finally takes the cake with this comment and should now be banned forever from posting.

“hardcore edge” as in i want ppl to write how scared they are to drive it. like the F40 and F50. to many techno-gadets now. obviously ppl are building up false confindence when they drive these cars. im not saying modern ferraris are bad cars, just boring. good looking…just boring i have driven a 360 before.

Hey Lambo…I think the family of the driver should sue Ferrari for creating a such “dangerous” car.

No, don’t ban 1c3d0g for his comments. I enjoy laughing at him, as I’m sure, many others do as well. I’m amazed he understands the workings of a keyboard enough to type his pathetic ramblings.

Kenny W never did say what his car is. I’m willing to bet it’s a 1983 Celica. He says he can drive it at 9/10’s it’s performance, and from his comments, that sounds about right!

Boy, I’m full of piss and vinegar tonight.

haha yea i know what you mean Jaguar Sovereign, equal horspower can seem very different depending on the car, and the early turbos are an excellent example for this. but the enzo should handle a bit safer than those porsches esp with all those traction control systems and stuff(if he had them turned on). im guessing he just reached the limits of the car and wasnt able to control it, as its probably quite difficult to catch an MR car with that much grip after you upset it haha. its just sad to see another enzo down lol. i still think hes a ****ty driver cause after all he did wreck the enzo quite violently. oh well at least he got screwed for it

Hperion..
Based on current events and a solid history, I dont think it’s that much of a stretch. In fact, if I remember correctly the Russian ‘parliment’ not too long ago approved of policy that makes the assasination of those it considers to be ‘extreme’ ok. Now, I am not saying that this is a LIKELY case, but it does not take too active of an imagination to consider it a possibility.

Tim, I don’t expect you to know your ass from a hole in the ground, but I do assume you have read other threads here, and if so you would know what I was tongue-in-cheek referring to.
.
Personally, though, this guy is a russian mafioso political crook and I wish he did die in flames. Poor people in that screwed up country have suffered enough at the hands of such assholes.

Tim_ass: no, you’re full of **** ALL the time. Kthxbye.

deantj: go away, Impulsive butt-buddy troll.

nooooooooooooooo y couldnt it have been a ford gt y a ferrari

Wow! There seems to be something wrong with a lot of people here. Can we stop with all the harassment? I’ll start by apologizing to Kenny W. If you were being sarcastic, I missed it.

Now, let’s all have a moment of silence for the death of a Ferrari… Okay, now it’s time for the wake. Who brought the liquor?

what has become of this site, seriously. It really need to start being moderated very soon.

A. Neves,
just find me a Ferrary with 100,000 miles. I’m a fan of motorsport, so my comment about Ferrari is not just being biased toward BMW, but I know plenty of original (E30) M3s with that kind of milege. You could say that this cars are from different class, but originaly M3 was made as a competition car, then it become avail. for the market. Ferrari also has great racing history, but my point being they’re not as reliable sa some other cars. I’m not judging their styling, I find it attractive, as they’re built by the same company (Pininfarina) as was FIAT Coupe and Peugeot 406 Coupe. But I grew up in Europe and I know how ‘reliable’ FIATs are.

Yea I had my share of Peugeot and Fiat. Certainly one of the most unreliable brands I’ve ever owned. Though the Koreans took the honor for a few years they’re getting much better.

Mmmmm….cream filling.
