And why Ferrari "choose" the owners of the Enzo? For this? Great selection of Enzo owners...

Why are people obsessed with the "choosing" of the owners as if this somehow guarentees perfect drivers and some how "keeps everything pure"

BTW - Enzos are being bought used all the time so there goes the 'choosing" logic.

^^^
lol


That does suck that all these enzo's are being crashed like this though. Obviously the "weak" spot on the enzo is between the passenger compartment and the engine bay.

^If so, you'd think that a car named after Enzo Ferrari would be better designed.

I think the design of the car was great, if not close to perfect. It just seems that the if the car is T-boned or something like that happens, it splits in the middle. Perhaps it is the result of the carbon-fibre, in that is does not bend like steel/aluminum, it shatters.

Well having cars spectacularly shattering after a big crash is not a good look in any case. It can also be potentially more dangerous.

lol
u guys are complaning about how dangerous enzo is during a crash

come on, just because it split in half, and all the pieces shatter because it is made of CF , doent mean it is not safer then other vehicell.. it is probably alot safer then most cars

examples,, the guy that stole the enzo, he was going at 150+mph and crashed,, he was fine.. let see u do that in regular car.

there are may high speed enzo crash, and none of them died or had server insuries other then this one, cuz the engine cougth fire, and they got burned

60-100 mph crash in Houston = everybody ok
150+ mph crash in italy = RIP
162+ mph crash oh PCH = bloody nose + dietrik
190 mph crash in Loose's enzo = broken bones, but otherwise ok
60 mph crash in California = burned to death RIP
60 mph crash in Nice = severe burns, and unknown prognosis

You stupid imbecil :x , that chassis was designed in order to brake apart in case the impact passes some value.
In that case not only the passangers have a better chance of surviving but also some idiot like you that comes from the other direction doesn`t get hit by 1350kg but rather by half, and improving the chances of survival for everybody , you dipshit.

The same company that makes the chassis for Enzo made the one for Carrera GT(and for Veyron too), and when that lady crashed the Black GT the car split in two also.

How come a moron like you, somehow finds flaws in the worlds best cars ? :alienflip:

On the passenger seat was travelling famous russian tv star Tina Kandelaki. She suffered minor injuries and already left the hospital.

Lol, he's absolutely correct though, even if they didn't know it was DESIGNED TO DO THIS, surely the fact that people come out of 150+ crashes alive is proof that it is not a bad thing to happen. :roll:
