Someone killed a Enzo

@MaximaSE98

actually its a very good saftey precaution…its like a race car…in a high speed crash like that must have been…the car is designed to disinigrate to absorb as much impact as possible so the driver doesnt feel the impact as much…in this case the driver still felt a good impact

no car is ever designed in a way that intentionaly allows the passanger compartment to come apart …

its better to roll down the road being shaken in an intact compartment then it is to have the passanger compartment come apart and be drug down across the pavement , or hit something else and be crushed … like teh gaurd rail on the other side of the street

I’m thinking that he was thinking of f1 (iirc) cars where they used to be designed somewhat like that.

monocoque (sp) shells?

that breaks my heart…

a ferrari
an enzo.

F1 cars were designed to fall apart on impact… but not the cockpit.

Imagine hitting a wall… the steering wheel and floorboards and dash are ripped away from you, and then your legs are flinstone styles down the road at 100+… that would be funny and suck at the same time.

Thats what i was thinking… I didnt realize the passenger compartment on the Enzo shown was destroyed…but in general the rest of the car besides the cockpit shreds into pieces

@AWDrifter

it still has to be engineered properly.

I uhh think Ferrari knows what they are doing with CF.

The guys over on 6speed are saying the crash was somewhere around 160-180 into that left hand wall. Any car is going to disinegrate when you hit a concrete wall that fast.

@HotRodKid

yea, but carbon fiber isnt gonna hold together when you blitzkrieg a wall at 150.

:jawdrop: Holy crap… that’s rediculous. Poor car… It may be butt ass ugly but it’s still a damn nice car.

i hope he was getting road head lmao

@kingsario

i hope he was getting road head lmao

lol … if he was, i hope he was still soft, would suck to have to have to have a closed casket funeral for the passanger cause they couldnt dislodge his dick from her throat

well I bet he didn’t feal a thing

Look at them Alfas! Hotness!

How much for the engine/tranny. :tup:

@Violator

you see those pretty teal drop cloths all over the road… guess whats under each one of those

The cloth are too flat to have bodies under them, maybe pieces.

I guess Ferrari doesn’t do crash testing on these cars??? That is a shame that a car that cost mucho $$$$ comes apart like that

[91MR2]

3 pages for a wrecked ferrari?

Those cars are ugly anyways.

I have a monocock (and duoballs). It’s (usually) quite rigid, but at 160mph it wouldn’t bend even if it were laid up properly, it would disintegrate like an Enzo.

I don’t expect them either, but sometimes I just can’t help myself!

Seriously, as others have said, in a big crash the cockpit (or should I say “drivers compartment”) should remain intact and the rest of the parts disintegrate. I bet that’s how the Enzo was designed.

just ask Alex Zinardi.

And Jay, they did crash test them, but probably not at 150+
