I say laugh, because someone with the money for an enzo, should spend the fraction of what it costs, to get some driving lessons. and so HAHAHAHAHAHA.. but i cry for the wasted Ferrari

The Enzo was on loan for the movie Redline. The stars of the movie were getting some practice runs for some charity event.
Eddie decided to take the Enzo out and managed to hit the wall.
The owner has reported the car as a total loss (obviously)

Here's the interview with the actor after the fact..

Click on videos on the lower right.

I think there are only about 390 of these cars now.

It's another sad day in Ferrari land...

Lates,

Lewis Hamilton.......

I was wondering why would you but a concrete barrier before a turn? Like shouldn't they have the guy practicing in a huge parking lot or something with nothing but asphalt ala F&F1 style.

I hate Ferrari so there is one less out there makes me

Eddie Griffin said after the crash: "Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the Brother can't drive."

If it was a Sag it would be easily repairable.

Here's a Cerb, but to show how easily fixed they are...
(you can't do that with a bent frame Ferrari)

[edit] Chimera I believe that is.

Looks like an earlier gen. Chimera indeed.

I don't think you will find the Sagaris built on that platform. Sickest car would be a 4 rotor NA PP Sagaris... If only I have 120,000$

Heh... rotors...

I told the other wedgies on PistonHeads that when my RV8 motor dies
my plan was on a lighter and more powerful 20b. LoL

That got a few dirty looks.

this is just utterly wreckless. One of the major things of owning an F40 was the fact that you had to be 'invited' to own one. Now that's prestige. The F50 they sort of lightened up and accepted applications from wannabe owners. With the Enzo they just said give us the money and we'll fly you to our facilities and make you a custom seat. We'll give you a week or two in a hotel then let you take down the test track, then we'll fly the car and you to where ever you'd like.....that was the mistake....allowing chumps to own such vehicles.....

TVR's like the Sagaris are certainly in the speed league Ferrari is in, but unlike Ferrari's, Porsche's et. al., you don't get traction control, ABS, AWD with a computer putting the power down like a skyline does. It's a total RAW, driver's car. I wont even drive mine with running shoes on. I'm going to have to go buy thin soled driving shoes just for the feedback.

You might be able to thrash a lot of exotic cars, but you better respect a TVR or it'll kill you.

man i love the Sagaris (and TVRs in general). and apparently it isn't as much a man-eater as previous models. and yeah, for the price of the car you are getting killer performance (but not much "extra" of course). Top Gear had a good review/segment on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUcWHnpNOVE

and another random video of the Sagaris. watch and drool:

Well. If somebody trashes a car like that, I feel like crying.
However, that car has a Carbon Fiber Monocoque and it does not bend, it either stays as it is or cracks/shatters.
I know a person that works at the factory that made chassis, body panels and what not for that car (and also for the Veiron, the Porsche GT, the Alfa 8c and several Lamborghinis) and he said to me that they have received an order for the parts that need to be replaced, so the car will be fixed; apparently it doesn't have chassis damage.
