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.

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

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 dumbshit owner who is at fault. Also, I wouldn't have been surprised had Sadek done the same thing had he been driving.

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!

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.

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.

$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.

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) 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.

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.

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!!!

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.”

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

By: felix1805

felix1805 — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 23:45:08 +0000

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.

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…

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

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.

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