………………and you’ve seen what happens to F1 cars at these types of speed – road cars are no different!

Car loss £300,000

Waiting list for a new one - 2 years
When can son drive Dad's car again - next life time
When will kid not be grounded and see the light of day - same day the polar ice caps melt…………but he is still alive....amazingly!!!

Car only had 9 miles on it………1 mile of it during the wreck………Priceless!!!

ok this is complete bullshit. these type of things are not welcomed here. nice try though

[RC45]

^^^ Maybe Dietrich was the dad... ;)

[nthfinity]

Yeah, everything in that post is wrong information

Stefan Ericson leased a Euro Enzo, or two

Moved to the US after failing as thug CEO of Gizmundo

Stopped lease payments on the Enzo - reported "stolen"

Ericson (Dietric) crashes the enzo @ 162 mph after getting airborn, and walks away. Spends time in jail - for stolen car(s) (other enzo, and SLR as well)

Deitric was the "supposed" driver who was never found

Damage - total loss, worth at least 600,000 pounds sterling, not 300 ;)

There is an Enzo that was crashed by the owner's son.... but not this one.

sorry guys - i know nothing about ferrari's or information about who/what happened - its just the information i had in the powerpoint slide ;-)

That one crashed and burned in Houston a couple years back.

Here is pretty much the whole story.

Here's how it developed on JW two years ago.

Does this qualify as a Stan?

Heres one in Utah 18 months ago. No son involved, driver survived with a broken finger.

I think there are 5 gone but I know there is a post on that here too.

Whys everyone flipping out on the guy? He put some effort into his post, and he has mentioned his source may have been incorrect..

I hadn't seen the pics before, and DAMN this demonstrates the value of a "safety cell" being incorporated into the chassis. I can't believe the guy walked away after the accident.
Hopefully lesson learnt.

Again, I'm impressed by the safety cell technology utilised by Ferrari in the Enzo. Quite impressive.

[silentm]

hmm that's a very effective way to transform all the kinetic energy into something else to stop the car :)

Who's flipping out? Nth just gave us the correct information. That's all. ;-)

Hooray for energy absorbing safety structures! At least it can keep your corpse fresh and intact even if you die. :-P
