Ferrari Enzo - Fatal Crash

Looks like the ferrari enzo hit a sign post at triple digit speeds, 41yr old driver killed in crash, near Milian. The center passenger 'tub' either totaly blew apart or is not pictured. Car broke in half.

People on the ferrari board where I first saw this are talking about it maby not being an enzo, but It looks like it to me, anyway, so sad!

EVERYONE DRIVE SAVE THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

One of my buddies made a good point. Why don't these hyper cars come with full cages? He said he posted it on ferrarichat, but nobody bit.

I agree. It may not have been the smartest thing but hey, atleast he is one of the few who will truly enjoy his enzo. He used it to its fullest. It wasnt just some museum piece that never drives.

Guys, he's dead. I think he might think differently about the whole thing. If there is an afterlife, he's probably not sitting there saying "Gee, that was ******* great!"

I hope other people will learn from things like this. It doesn't matter if you can afford the car, but if you can drive it. I highly doubt that anything could have been added to this car to save his life, except of course a tank shell.

i agree this was bad i have respect for someone who actually uses the enzo, or any supercar for that matter. He actually used it the way it was ment to be used. To be driven!

Dude, the car is meant to be driven but not drive it & kill yourself with it.

What if it was a carload of kids that he hit, still respect that??? To drive that fast on public roads just shows an idiot not worthy of the slightest respect. If he can afford the car he could afford some track time somewhere.

So tragic and sad when I see these stories - keep the speed on a track, where there is allot of runout.

What a dumbass. It's sad that he died, but you can't say he didn't deserve it.

Wow...what an impact. That's the kind of damage you see when those Cesna planes crash.

I wonder if he was getting a BJ at the time, from a playmate, who forgot her clothes.
