He should have used a replica instead of a real Enzo!

even John Hughes knew better when he destroyed a Ferrari replica in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off….

Now that just hurts me to watch. Undercover Brother can’t drive worth a damn. He crashes a freakin Enzo and then just jokes about it? I ought to make a trip out to Cali and kick his ass for driving like a moron in such a beautiful piece of motoring art!

It would be interesting to find out exactly how many Enzos are left. Let not even discuss how heart breaking that was to watch! Plus, why would you want to destroy a Carrera GT? I would much prefer them to have used CGI. Cars like these do not come around often and this snobby asshole just destroys it??!! Hell, I’ll take the car if you REALLY don’t want it!

STUPID ASS…. he should be arrested.

I am officially going to boycott this moive. . .screw them for destroying all these great cars to make a rich version of the Fast and the Furious.

At least the brother has cash. He could replace it with a Veron or something to soften the blow to poor bastard/owner.

———————>RSPINAJR, they were a whole heck of a lot more Carrera GTs made than Enzos so wrecking 2 of them was just a scratch….But it REALLY IS a VERY interesting question of exactly how many Enzos are left, for the Enzo they shoulda used a replica or something…….

Meh, it’s just a Ferrari. The event planners are mostly to blame for putting a hairpin turn right next to a concrete barrier. This is what happens when you get inexperienced drivers behind the wheel of a powerful vehicle in what looks like basically an auto cross course. He did the only thing he knew how at the moment, panicked. Most people here, although they all think they’re Mario Andretti, would have done the same.

¿¿¡¡¡ What the F—!!??? That DANIEL SADEK should be banned from all supercar automakers client lists!!! To people from Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin: do us enthusiasts and yourselves a favor and never sell any of you elite cars to this man again…

my jaw dropped to the floor and did not come back up until that video was over…. I think a piece of my soul died.

It’s a hunk of metal… the real stupidity though is paying 1.2 million for one and then destroying it.

Either respect the money and the machine or don’t buy these vehicles… such a waste of resources.

Man, some very smart people spend millions of dollars in creating some awesome special effects programs so that idiots like this producer doesn´t have to spend money and genuine products… go and spend some time at ILM (!!) for instance.

i dont think its cool destroying cars. The idea of the movie is cool but man, c’mon, dont destroy cars, just use CGI. Destroying these exotic, limited cars is just as bad as killing a horse in a war movie. I hope u can fix that car, and the GTs as well

but hey, James bond destroyed 9 astons didnt they

Who heard of the other Enzo crash?
And the one where a Gizmodo executive had a race with a McMerc SLR near LA, and the Ferrari hit a telegraph pole at 190 mph. Ferrari then said that they could fully repair the car for 300 000 GBP (about 600 000 dollars) . The car had been sliced clean on half, with the engine 100 metres away from the wreckage of the front end.

Notice in the video how little the car is damaged for such a big crash…the advantages of carbon fibre. Ferrari could probably repair it though.

This guy should and probably will be in NASCAR. They want diversity and he has the mad skills required to go right to the top.

Does anyone know if that was a real Enzo? The reason why I am asking is because this could be one hell of a publicity stunt for the Movie?

bahaha what an awful driver, next time they should send him out in a fiesta first, or at least tell him how to operate a vehicle. pathetic driving straight up. never been too much of a fan of the enzo but that was just sad what an idiot

It is a real Enzo as its made of carbon fibre; there is no damage.

DONT THINK I WILL PAY MONEY TO WATCH THIS, CAR AND MOTORCYCLE MOVIES SUCK TOO MUCH ASS NOWADAYS.

Some of the comments here are real nasty compared to those left when the others were crashed.

@55amg

It was more like 2 or 3, and they were built specifically for the movie, so it’s a little bit different. I think they were only really planning on damaging one. Besides, a DB9 is a little bit different than an Enzo.

It’s a royal dumb-ass who lets an inexperienced driver of such automobiles drive one…let alone theirs.

Daniel Sadek has made a ridiculous movie involving the destruction of rare cars in a manner I’d be hard pressed to believe in real life. Given that, why on Earth make a movie like this? Even if it does well at the box office, the CARS will stand the test of time far better than the movie will– so why destroy them in the first place?!

I could understand one or two cars for a movie even if they are Enzo’s and Carerra GT’s, but yet another F&F style film? It’s a double gripe for me: A) bad idea for a film B) destroying handfuls of rare automotive legends for a film.

To the poster who suggested replica cars– yes! Why didn’t they spend the money to make them? Shooting sequences for camera doesn’t even require the same level of car that these machines represent.

Extremely frustrating.

So would that include the manufacturers who often sell them to inexperienced drivers? I mean, I guess it’s becoming more common for the cars to include a day or two of driver training, so I guess that makes it OK.

And I should point out that A) they didn’t intend to wreck the Enzo, and B) at least Griffin was humble about the incident.

The only reason they should’ve used CGI is because the explosions would’ve looked cooler.

I saw this on Yahoo first. He was not even going that fast. After thinking about it, it sounds like a publicity stunt. Furthermore if Ferarri could fix a completely dismembered Enzo then this crash should be easily fixed. I think the producer is a cash rich asshole who really does not get what it is to be enthusiastic about cars. You don’t crash them you drive them and enjoy them. Purposefully destroying exotic cars is a reprehensible act to any car enthusiast.
He did get some good free press though huh?

use homeless people instead of concrete walls, there problem solved.

SAVE THE ENZOS!

It’s just a car. A very extremely well equipped and capable car, but just a car. I never understood why anyone would give a flip about an Enzo crashing. Granted there aren’t many of them but IT IS JUST A CAR! I’d be more concerned if the driver was injured or killed.

I also think that the ENZO is one of the ugliest cars ever built. The Shape might work on the track but it’s still ugly. That’s my opinion. I like the 599 and the 430 myself.

That is NOT the first time I’ve seen a top tier Ferrari lose all front grip in a flat turn. Truthfully he should have just stopped the car if her couldn’t make the turn.

Despite all the fancy equipment to make that car drivable but the inexperienced multi-millionaires who buy them, they are still so unsafe for the average driver, of which the buyers usually are, that it is not fair to blame the driver. cars like the ENZO, F50, F40, just to name a few were designed for race drivers.

Even try to push the car and you’re asking for trouble.

1.2 million could have helped a lot of people to maybe not die…

THE MOVIE WILL BE FORGOTTEN IN 6 MONTHS, THE ENZO WILL BE REMEMBERED 40 YEARS FROM NOW AS THE EXTINCT CAR THAT EVERYBODY CRASHED. THE ONLY ONES LEFT WILL BE IN A FERARRI MUSEUM IN ITALY.

Yeah, and the mona lisa is just a pretty picture,whatever,1.2 million could’ve helped me, could’ve helped me buy one of these things.

So how many Enzos are left now?

This might help determine how many Enzo’s are left
http://www.wreckedexotics.com/enzo/

well i mean weve heard of like 4 being destroyed on this site but there must be more.

The more idiots crash them, The more it becomes a collectors item.

i was boycotting this crapchute movie already
give me the carrera and wreck a model screw you sadek

no car is worth 1.2 million. It’s a 40K worth of materials with a lot of profit and overhead costs.

^please excuse my grammar, i was half paying attention b/c I half care

Sadly this piece of crap movie will make decent money just like the unbelieavably bad F&F movies made money. Kids love to see this garbage. It really makes me appreciate Gumball Rally more and more…

It’s just a car people, get over it. Expensive cars get crashed everyday.

ofcourse eddie wouldnt care…it wasnt even his car thats why he was so calm about it

God DAMNIT I hate how many Enzo’s are dying

Well it makes sense, Enzo’s are fast.. fast cars crash a lot

Bruthas can’t drive… He should stick to pimpin’ around in an Impala on 22s while rollin’ a joint.

maximus that car might be about 40k in raw material but the manufacturing and crafting that goes into making this car is worth a whole lot more then that, im not too sure how much profit they make on an enzo but i dont think its all too much in the end.

oh and i believe a bugatti veyron costs VW a few million a piece to make and they actually loose a huge amount of money because they cant even sell the car at the price its actually worth, so there definetly are cars that are worth more than 1.2 million i just pointed one out here

Check out what that lying S.O.B. says:
Griffin told CBS News that he “was coming around the track and came into a tight turn and I hit a cone and the cone got caught underneath the tire. So the tire locked up and [the car] slammed into the wall.”
-Autoweek
LOL

Including this crash, and the 400th Enzo for the pope, we are down to 393 Enzo’s left. Yes a couple of them have been repaired like that one in LA that was ripped in half, but I count them as dead. They are not Enzo’s anymore, that’s cosmetic surgery. So 393 are left. I couldn’t tell all of the crashes but I’m good with numbers and including this crash, down to 393. 2 more years and we will be down to 200 if these idiots keep it up!!!

It’ll buff out.

I love reading about these death-trap Enzos getting racked. If Ford, GM, or Chrysler built a car as accident- and death-prone as these pieces of Italian **** you all would say American car companies build crap, but because you are all biased wankers you don’t say that about Ferrari. About the only bad thing I can see in this incident is the driver survived.

1) The car IS worth $1.2mil. Those of you who say otherwise have no idea about the manufacturing process behind an Enzo. The car is essentially hand-built (engine AND carbon fiber body) by a team of ultra expert (and costly) master Ferrari mechanics. It uses technologies straight out of F1. To give you an idea, an F1 car costs between $3 to $4mil to put together. Add the fact that it is a limited, collectible piece of automotive history from the greatest sports car maker in the world, and you got yourself the price. If it wasn’t worth it, it wouldn’t have sold out ALL of its models within the first few months it hit the market. It’s not just a fashion statement, this is an ultra rare exotic. How many of you have even SEEN one in real life? Exactly.

2) To those of you saying- “It’s just a car”… why are you even on this website blogging comments? A Camry is a car. An Enzo is an Enzo.

What retarded people. This movie is going to bomb, and if I were him, I’d regret destroying my GT for a movie that will probably be forgotten within months.

$1.2M is a heavy mark up. The ENZO is supposed the sticker at $750k. The FXX is priced at $1.8M without mark up. All that ignoring the fact that you have to “qualify” for the chance to buy one. But aside from that I agree that the car is made of the best stuff by the best people Ferrari has or can find. That said, it is also one of the wussiest cars I have even seen, killed by a cone. A supposedly near flawless (anything made by human hands is never perfect) car of the age costing a fortune, killed by a 10 dollar cone. You watch the video, and you can see that this supercar lost all front traction and couldn’t steer. Corvettes, Vipers, Porsches, Saleens, Lamborghini’s, TVR’s, Z-cars, the list goes on, have to pass basic safety requirements just to be street-legal. I guess building only 399 units means you can skirt the laws of safety and make a car like that.

If I worked for Ferrari I would feel a sharp stab of shame at seeing this “supreme” specimen of the automotive species so easily undone. The Enzo is indeed a Enzo. It is NOT a car or a supercar… it is a $1.2M coffin on wheels.

Senor Enzo must be fuming and rolling and cursing in his grave. His final car the F40 is far superior and cooler looking… and it never got killed by hitting a traffic cone.

1) Why does everyone keep saying the car is totaled? No way that thing is totaled. Might be 50-60k worth of work at most.

2) If this car is so “super” why was it understeering like a dilapidated K-car turning at 30 mph? What a piece of sheeot.

Thank you golf4me!!!!

Hahaha…great. That’s how many Enzo’s destroyed already? I love seeing those pieces of **** destroyed.

396 remain, there were 400 made. The 400th was offered to the Pope but he declined, I would have accepted it because it’s a nice car despite that I do not like Ferrari much if at all. This is yet another example of my being correct in knowing that black people can’t drive worth ****. If I were driving it would not have wrecked.

golf4me,
A set of TIRES for that car costs 12g’s. That much front end damage, EASILY half a mil.
And yes, supercars, like racecars, are NOT designed for hairpin, low speed corners. A Mini could have taken that turn faster. But a Mini can’t come off the back straight at 160mph!

It’s got to be a hoax.. what a bastard.

James, what is up with the racial nonsense? Griffin should not have been driving the Enzo simply because he needed to be schooled in the car—nothing else, and like everyone else who wishes to drive an exotic. It is like giving a sixteen old the top-of-the-line sportbike when he’s never ridden one. Sure, he might be able to ride it, but chances are he has no clue what the bike is capable of, and therefor can easily get into trouble. In fact, it is the dumb**** owner who is at fault. Also, I wouldn’t have been surprised had Sadek done the same thing had he been driving.

A plastic cone got stuck in the wheel well and threw the car out of control.
Nothing could be done.

wow…he needs more driving experience.

Felix1805, the Bugatti Veyron doesn’t cost a few million to make. Every car they sell makes a profit against the MANUFACTURING COSTS of the car. What makes each car “cost” a few million is the cost of research and development that went in to them. The fact that it is a limited run means they can do simple math and take the total cost or R&D and manufacturing for each unit, and divide that by the number to be sold. That cost will be a couple million, but each car does not cost over a million to manufacture.
