Looks way too good for a 200 MPH crash. There should have been far more damage.

That is not a 550 it is a 360, this is a 550.

The man who wrecked it was the owner, doing 162 MPH, and had a BAC of .09.  He's screwed.

"As if that weren't enough, a leading Scottish bank has told sheriff's investigators that it may own the destroyed car, which was one of only 400 made. And sheriff's Sgt. Phil Brooks said Monday that detectives are trying to figure out why Scotland Yard in London listed as stolen another exotic car that Eriksson owns, a Mercedes SLR."

This Enzo was wrecked here in Houston. 85 in a 35 on Allen Parkway, with traction control turned off.

That's not an F50, that's an Enzo. Both Enzos & F50s were limited runs of 349 cars. After customer demand increased, they made 50 more Enzo's, bringing it up to 399. One additional Enzo was built, and the #400 car was presented to Pope John Paul II, who had it auctioned off for charity. iirc, it went to Tsunami relief and sold for over $1.2 mil US.

iirc, the body wasn't designed by an Italian, but by a Japanese gentleman working for Pininfarina.

 no such animal.  it's what broke folks say to comfort themselves.  there is an axiom that states if it has wheels or tits it will give you problems.  I suspect both were in function in this accident.

thanks Monk...I googled ferrari 550 and didn't pay attention to the picture I was posting...(but both the 360 and the 550 are a whole lot better looking than the f50 imo) (acutally, the only ferrari I have not liked is the f50)
