    Today at 3:00 PM my father saw in Nice (France) a Black Enzo semi-destroyed just in front of the Nice Airport. The Ferrari crashed into a tree (left-side) at approx 60 mph. The accident is probably due at the rain. The driver probably died.

    Actually I don’t have any other info, but I think that tomorrow we know more about that.

    Amazing how a guy could crash at upwards of 160 mph and walk away with a cut lip and this guy dies at 60 mph. Too sad, RIP.

    Geez, hope he didn't die. Is the Enzo just too temptingly quick? or is it just set-up too much like a race car to be driven on the street safely? I know you can drive an F1 race car safely down the road, but would you?

    Uh ? It's weird.

    There are 2 black Enzo in south of France. One registered in Monaco and the other one is from St Tropez.

    This thread should be locked until further news or better, a confirmation surfaces...

    Not to be rude but we so far have the word of someone who saw a black enzo crashed. From that we got that it was PROBABLY at 60mph and the owner PROBABLY died. See anything wrong here?

    Let's not jump to the conclusion that the driver did die. I'm sure we'll find out more over the next few days so let's just hope for the best.

    Just goes to prove, things go better with booze.
    At least that way you can walk away from the accident; ask Dietrich.

    even being late, i have to believe if such a story was going to be in tomorrow's paper, it would be on some type of news website currently.

    There is a black Enzo (F339 Monaco plate) that resides in Monaco. I assumed it was Jean Todt's car (black wheels?) but I may/probably be wrong.

    sorry, but thats not correct. i have an image of the owner of the car getting into it, and it sure as heck is not Jean Todt.
