Bad Enzo wreck

Ouch!
As much as I'd like to hope that he lived to tell the story... odds are against him according to that pic.
I wonder what he hit, since theres no other damaged car/tree/pole anywhere near him? Could it be possible that he went off road and then into the air, breaking the car in two upon landing?

yikes! 
if i'm not mistaken, that'll buff out.

That is terrifying!
The driver is fine! The Enzo self-immolated when the clock fuse blew while the driver was on the side of the road taking a leak. One of these days those silly Italians will learn how to make a reliable car.
Here's what happens to an Enzo when it hits a curb after going around a turn a bit too fast. You'd think for $650,000 they could sell you car that cornered a bit better than .96g!

Can you immagine being there to watch the car just take off and start doing doughnuts and tareing itself to pices. I would immagine the emotions (as long as it was'nt my car) I would be both screaming and laughing at the same time

This is the 2nd one I've seen like this. 397 left.

For the dumb questions but what does the clock fuse do? And why would it cause the car to self-immolate when it blows up? Oh, and what was meant by self-immolated?

Wrecked Exotics.com claims they know of 4 not including the stunning example of highway carnage pictured in this thread.

The owner was a 41 year old italian male R.I.P.
He is survived by his wife and two children.

Quote :Guys look the pictures. I think he was on a divided highway on the other side of the hedges. He lost it and came through the hedges onto the service road. Notice the hole in the hedges behind the ambulance and how the debris field is pushed across the road at that point.

Actually I was kidding. It wasn't the clock fuse at all. The car hit a racoon crossing the road and fell apart.
immolated means destroyed.
The tire does NOT look like Enzo material, was another car involved off picture as well???

It sure looks like the remains of a Bridgestone RE050 Scuderia to me.
Doesn't the sidewall look a little too tall to be a tire for that car?
spry said:
The piece of tire laying on the ground does seem to have a large sidewall. But if you look back up at the picture of the tire that is still on the car, it doesn't seem that big. I think it's just an angle problem in the picture.
R.I.P. (Rest in Pieces) :frown:

To immolate is to sacrifice, usually by fire. Self immolation is to set fire to oneself, as in this famous image.

That rear wheel looks in tact. After it's sold on eBay, the owner should be able to buy a 2nd-hand NSX with the proceeds. 
Yikes !!
Ouch...
That wreckedexotics.com is a really sad site, btw. Most of them seem destroyed be sheer stupidity.
It's a 2 lane street. You can tell because the signs are readable from both directions. It looks to me like the car was going pretty damn fast when it went into the hedges, started disentegrating, and was tossed back onto the street in several pieces. Probably a tree trunk was involved in breaking the major part of the shell in two.
It was a single vehicle accident. I think police originally stated he was doing 280km/h but later changed that to 256km/h. Considering this was out in the countryside, it could have been anything from taking that corner too fast to an animal crossing the road.
