    As mentioned earlier, this is a dealer plate and can be used for any car.

    Its kinda interesting that this was reported on Ferrari Chat first, then pick up around the world. I don't remember that happening before.

    No big deal. This will be rebuilt by Ferrari and good as new.

    I think the test pilot just got his termination papers.

    Yeah, I think Enzo's are becoming indestructible like McLaren F1's.

    They are so valuable that it makes sense to repair them no matter what the damage is.

    I could easily be mistaken but I think the infamous "Split Enzo" was initially reported by a Cali-based F-Chatter who waited through the traffic and then saw the Enzo in half and scattered all over the road - before it was picked up by the press and obviously covered with the great documentary on Auto-Biography. Again - could be wrong - Suffice to say the first I heard about it was on FChat.

    As posted - Ferrari rebuilt that one and I am sure will rebuild this one - Still sad

    Cheers

    There have been a few "mechanic crashes customer's Ferrari" threads here over the years. :(

    This car will be back on the road. Back in 2006 in Malibu, California the Ezno below was rebuilt by factory, I believe, and came back to be black:

    https://www.motorbiscuit.com/ultra-rare-3-million-ferrari-enzo-gets-crashed-split-in-half-and-abandoned/

    To make a long story short, it turns out that Bo Stefan Eriksson was a Swedish businessman named Stefan Eriksson. Additionally, Eriksson allegedly illegally smuggled the Ferrari Enzo out of Scottland to avoid repossession. As a result, the hypercar was living in LA illegally. It also won’t surprise you to learn at this point that the FBI determined that Eriksson was driving the car.

    No happy ending here. Feel sorry for the driver, owner, and the car. Not going to work out well for any of them. :(

    Apparently, Gas Monkey Garage/Rawlings has put out on social media that he's interested in buying this out to restore. Hopefully, the owner actually cares about recovering the value & sending it to the factory instead.

    Whatever it is I suspect it involves black paint, LEDs, and a shill or two when it sells at auction post production.
