Yikes, I haven't seen this before. That looks like a horrendous accident. I hope everyone was okay.

yup

 

Google Chrome page translation, which is as about as reliable as a 599 GTO in race mode in the rain, says the driver was okay but under the influence.

 

NNO--how many confirmed, total, GTO shunts have you recorded?

 

Hope the the driver was alright and hopefully the car can be saved as well

 

Anybody know the story behind all the signatures in the engine compartment?

 

I have seen several cars with signatures from all Ferrari employees who worked on the car.

 

As have I. Personal friend of LdM has signatures under the hood of his Enzo and 550BPF. All those who worked on the car(s) during the production.

I think it could be considered an unofficial option...I've seen quite a few as well.

 

Thanks!

 

what the hell with the roof cave in? that looks bad. wonder how strong they design the roof to be?

 

Wow, looks very nasty!! Glad to hear the driver is ok!

 

I am sure they have to design and build them to suit a certain requirement/regulation.

I don't know how strong it's supposed to be, but it should be VERY strong. Perhaps it saved this drivers life.

Rolling a car on it's lid is one of my biggest fears. The thought of being "trapped" upside down in a car with it's roof caved in is a scary thought.

 

That'll buff right out. Should have gotten the optional roll cage when he bought the car though.

 

Just this one that I can recall; but none in my database as I don't have this car's serial number.

 

repost yes - but we are still looking for the s/n!

 

Glad the driver was ok. 598 left.
