Wonder what he hit, doesn't look like there is anything very solid around to have caused that level of damage (unless the hedges are more solid than they look)

Yep but when you are testing the 217 mph top speed, there ain't going to be much left if you hit anything.....

My ar5se, the road isn't long enough. Even for an Enzo. A scooby wouldn;t have been bothered by the sharp right -hander coming up in the third picture though

In Pic 2, you see something small under a blanket. Guess that's what's left of whoever was driving.

Makes you think, don't it.

From other forums, the car came around the corner visible in the 4th pic way too fast, touched the grass and it spun into the hedge on the other side. Think theres a lamp post in 2 bits behind the ambulance.

Think the tyre is from the Enzo just looks odd becuase its split. However there is speculation as to the involvement of a 2nd car becuase in pic 2 what is against the post? Its not an Enzo bonnet so is either the roof or the bonnet of another car - IMHO its the roof.

Its not the roof, as the doors form the roof, it could be a sump gaurd type thing from the front, or part of the bonnet.

I want to know where the seats have gone?

Another pranged Enzo ( with Lambo). Not quite as bad but interesting reading. Looks like these girls will be grounded for a while.

I think this accident did not involve anybody else. The roof of the car on the side of the road in the last pic looks intact, & next to that roof looks like a building. It's probably a car just parked on the driveway of that building.
As for the tyre lying on the road, it could well be the Enzo's. Remember, those cars have (relatively) skinny front tyres. From the tread pattern, it looks like Bridgestone's RE050A, which is what Ferrari fits on Enzos.

The local paper in Milan had a report on this - the driver was killed. No other cars involved.

Im not surprised it broke its back. Big heavy V12 has a fair bit of momentum if it starts being thrown around. And in fairness, Id rather it came away in a crash rather than remain partially attached swinging round or just lessed the cars ability to absorb the impact.
