I don't think that last guy made it.

I'm glad those aren't Charger pics! :icon_smile_big:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Just from the location of the seat on that last one I'm thinking that was a F40....expensive car! I don't think he made it either :rotz:

you do realize, however, that the lugnuts (and it only has 4 - one per wheel) on that Enzo are probably worth more than most Chargers?

I don't think they're worth more...but I bet they cost more. ;D

:o

the level of damage makes me wonder what the hell could'a caused such a disintigration of a car made almost compleaty of carbon fiber, looking at that narrow two lane road,.. I figgure it must been traveling at it's top speed of Approx. 200 MPH when it went into a train,.. or something..  ???

Chryco Psycho

to me it looks more like it hit a pole or wire & cut the enzo in 1/2

i dont see RR tracks or any poles.

If you look at the first pick, the road is curved. My guess would be that the driver must have been flooring it, lost control coming off the turn, got airborne NASCAR style, and flipped over several times.

not to sound morbid..but that's one awesome way to go.....

Quote"Sunday morning near Milan a 41 years old man died because he lost control of his car."

accident happened at 256km/h ~157mph, as per the enzo's computer that records all speeds much like an airplane's "black box" flight data recorder

there is speculation as to how it actually happened, but some believe that the rear end steped off the pavement and entered a spin, with some tree/telephone pole hitting in there. others suggest something similar, but ground effects were lost quickly after leaving the road, which would mean no downforce at 155mph (as the enzo has no "traditional" downforce devices i.e. wings/spoilers, so once the car is sufficently off the ground there is no downforece created at all) the car would then spin and roll out of control, with periods of flight until friction with the ground brought the car to a stop. however it is unknow if the driver lost control, or the vehicle failed at this time. it looks like to me that the car slid into a tree/pole sideways and hit into the door (note the driver rear quarter panel looks very good considering) theis caused the monocoque to break, because all force was applied directly to the monocoque itself.

the monocoque should have held up, but this is aparently a reoccuring problem in ferraris (at least the newer ones 355, 360, enzo)

the lack of skidmarks lends to the theory that the car was airborne for some while before stopping

despite some debate this IS an enzo, leaving only 398 left in the world"

I'm with Ponch... sucks to have to check out, but in an Enzo?   Had to be fun and probably happened so fast that the guy never even had a clue.   Kinda cool the on board computer recorded the speed.     :icon_smile_dead:

The writing in that article of no downforce aids like spoilers sounds a little scary.   Especially on a car that Ferarri knows is going to haul butt on the streets sooner or later. :icon_smile_blackeye:
