Over the last few months there have been several Ferrari Enzo crashes, and this is the latest.
Billionaire Russian parliamentarian. Suleyman Kerimov, 40, a far rightwing member of the State Duma from Dagestan, lost control of his sportscar in the rain along the Riviera's Promenade des Anglais. As you can see by the picture, the car broke in two and burst into flames...
Kerimov was critically injured in the crash and a passenger, Tina Kandelaki, 31, a star personality on Russiaâs STS television channel suffered slight burns.
So what's going on here? Is this car too dangerous or too challenging for average drivers?

I just think that it is probably more driver error than the car. It was rainy and speed was probably a factor.

He crashed the car the day after he bought it! What a moron!
Seriously, that car was not on the streets for 48 hours, even.

What I want to know is what the hell he was thinking speeding on the wet road.....duh.....everybody knows with the speed rated tires and the specs of a Enzo that they are not made for any conditions other than bright and shiny days!!

Money does not equal driving skill. The real tragic aspect of hyper-cars like this is that they usually are mere accessories for the wealthy. As an example, I give you Paris Hilton, who recently was arrested for DUI in her Mercedes SLR. The local news here showed it being winched onto a flat bed tow truck. All that engineering and capability, and she's driving it to the Jamba Juice on Rodeo Drive.

If I were a Ferrari engineer who spent countless hours building that thing literally a few days ago, I would cry.

With only 399 produced and a few already destroyed I wonder if the other 300+ will go up in value?

Speaking of Ferrari crashes, one happened in Kuwait a few days ago. I saw the pictures in the paper. Some kid crashed a silver Ferrari 360 Modena into a pole and some other cars, the Ferrari caught on fire, and the kid died.
The said thing is half the people who buy these cars have no idea how to control them, yet they still drive fast and recklessly.

What I would give to just sit in one of those, let alone drive it...and you got these filthy rich idiots that think nothing of what a car like this is capable of. These are the same idiots that seem to correlate money to personal power when everyone else knows that when it comes down to it, they're just like anyone else. Bottom line: if you're filthy freakin' rich and see a world-class supercar as nothing more than a notch in the cap, stick to being chauffered in a limousine that is piloted by someone that actually knows how to drive it...come back when you've acquired the skill and, more importantly, the respect needed to handle that 650-hp animal.
