Found this too,
Russian billionaire and
parliamentarian Suleiman Kerimov was hospitalized in critical
condition at Marseille's major burns center after his Ferrari
crashed and burst into flames in Nice on the French Riviera.
Kerimov, 40, was transported by helicopter to the Centre
Regional des Grands Brules in Marseille, where he arrived early
yesterday evening, after his condition was stabilized in Nice,
said Denis Burgarella, a spokesman for Assistance Publique
Hopitaux de Marseille.
Kerimov, worth $7.1 billion according to Forbes magazine,
crashed his Ferrari Enzo around 3:30 p.m. yesterday on the
Promenade des Anglais, the boulevard that runs along the Nice
shoreline, according to a spokesman for the Police Nationale who
declined to be identified according to regulations. The sports
car caught fire and Kerimov was ``seriously injured,'' according
to the spokesman.
Kerimov ranked No. 72 in Forbes magazine's annual survey of
the world's richest people published in March. His wealth derives
from stakes in OAO Gazprom, Russia's natural-gas export monopoly,
and OAO Sberbank, eastern Europe's largest bank. He also owns OAO
MNPO Polymetal, Russia's biggest silver miner.
He hired Merrill Lynch & Co. to make his investment company
OAO GNK Nafta Moskva one of the world's top private-equity firms,
the London-based Times newspaper reported in August.
Kerimov also is a member of the Duma, the lower house of the
Russian parliament.
A female passenger in the black Ferrari was also injured,
Agence France-Presse reported, citing police.
Hospital spokesman Burgarella declined to comment on
Kerimov's survival chances, saying a patient must be in a stable
condition for 48 hours for an assessment.
Kerimov was born in Dagestan in Russia's Caucasus region.

I wonder if Enzos are designed to shear off the rear half in a heavy impact, of if it's just a happy accident...
The passenger compartment seems to be damn near indestructable, from the pictures I've seen, so at least errant drivers will be spared crushing injuries, and if they're buckled in with the 4-point harness like good boys or girls, it's probably a pretty safe car to crash.
I'd reckon a good deal of energy could be re-directed by designing the engine and drivetrain components to break away, and it might reduce the risk of burns, though it didn't work out that way for this Enzo.
