Yet another one dead?

[DesmoRob]

As quoted from The Penticton Herald news paper that covers news in my area.

"sports car burns

Oliver firefighters responded to a vehicle fire late Friday afternoon on Highway 97, north of Gallagher Lake. The car is reported to have been a Ferrari Enzo. Nobody was hurt in the crash, but the car was a writeoff."

The picture in the paper shows two firefighters dousing a completely unrecognizable heap of crispy Italian heritage.

So how many does that leave us with now anyway?

I would say: One less...How many have been reported so far? This is the second I have seen, but certainly somewhere somebody is keeping a tally on this, or there is somebody who has collected all the chassis numbers...
And finally Penticton reaches the world headlines....

My thoughts exact. For that reason, I was eager to do my part and share it with everyone here .

I know there have been a few threads on offed enzos, but I'm not positive on how many actually have been killed off.

So that is six, plus this one is seven. Out of the six shown, several look repairable, others not quite.

Maybe just more prone to driver stupidity.

They seem to like splitting in half a lot too.

I don't know about most prone to accidents.. but you're more likely to hear about them than most supercars.

I was going to say an Italian completely destroyed (literally) an additional car, but CMC posted a good link.

At speeds higher than 200 km/h, with a central engine layout, the engine being a stressed member attached to a safety cockpit cell...who doesn't?!

[switters78]

16 overall according to this article...the most recent on June 15th, so that would make yours the 17th?

I seem to recall hearing about/seeing a lot of Carrera GT crashes too...

Thanks for posting the link to that video, Barneyboy. That's some pretty intense stuff. The photo from the paper did not do the incident the same justice.

Too bad it wasn't a cayenne .

So, why is it that supercars love to burn so much? There are plenty of car crashes year round, but I can't remember the last time I heard of one of those catching fire and burning completely to the ground. At least not in my area. Then the one time an Enzo is passing through on vacation, boom. Many high end exotics seem to have gone out in this fashion.
