    Yup, I think everyone in this country at least heard about this. Kinda hurts just to watch it.
    So whose car was it and who pays for the loss, assuming the car is totaled or even repairable?

    Nice understeer... I thought Ferraris were supposed to handle well. That looked like how my Fiero Formula handled in half a foot of snow. Turn the wheel and keep going straight ahead... I guess you are just supposed to seal these works of art in climate-controlled museums rather than try to drive them. Maybe that guy with the Ferrari badged VX can get the engine from the wreck. Hmmmmm?

    The car belonged to the producer(or director) of the film. They spend 20 or 30 million, promoting most films...they spent about 1.2 million to push this one...and very successfully at that. Enzos don't push! Period. That was no mistake or accident, just brilliant advertising. Insurance will cover the loss and Gibby's (an aquaintance) just went up to 1.3. Wayne

    Unfortunately there are a lot of rich people who don't have the ability to drive a car like that.
    Just check out this:


    This site site is full of cars with bad driving owners.

    So you're saying they planned this? I wouldn't doubt it, but that would be hard to prove, not to mention probably illegal (insurance fraud?). Eddie Griffin does make a nearly perfect scapegoat, doesn't he?

    My vote is inability to drive.
    That car has more than enough power to overcome the under steer condition with which he hit the wall under. Give her some gas to straighten it out and accelerate through the corner and let er rip!
    Take care,

    Cool Comedians + Exotic Cars = Funny

    Undercover Brother & Enzo is one funny mix I suspect it was all publicity, Hollywood can make anything look realistic, even sacrifice an exotic in the name of profits. I may have been a driveable prop for all we know. Many fine looking cars get wrecked in that movie, some requireing mor than one take, meanig losts of look alike cars. In the end no life was lost, so in my book it has comedic value. As the crashed exotics web site shows more expensive cars have suffered the same fate for lesser press. * shrug *
