Default Black Enzo crash

Another crashed Enzo, owned by a Russian miljonaire, yesterday in Nice (France). The car is broken in two parts like all the other Enzo wrecks we have seen before.

Suleyman Abusaidovich Kerimov was the owner, who incidentally is a currupt guy directly involved in the UN 'oil for food' scandle

Great post. Wow another one so quickly. In two years there won't be any left. Complete with shady owner. How do you even find a place in Nice (Southern France) to drive that fast?

The car probably broke in 2 as it it the tree.

I bet as he stole the money he had no idea that Karma would be his co-driver one day

This is a completely straight line (restricted at 50km/h :roll: ), i don't know what could have happened...
According to the press, he hit the kerb then immediatly crash into the tree....

Simple - hit the gas pedal, the car begins to accelerate and then gets out of shape and *boom* you hit the curb.

Probably took less than 10 seconds to destroy it

Ouch! Why are there so many Enzo crashes of late? Coincidence?
