Looks like the cabin is in pretty good shape though. I'm surprised that with the rest of the car torn appart the passanger cabin is in one piece, looks like Ferrari has some great safety engineers as well. But than again, you better protect your customers when there is only a limited number of people that can buy your car

 

it looks like the story of the owner/"passenger" isn't quite adding up. apparently some aquaintance he only knew as Dietrich was supposedly driving.

note: he had a blood-alcohol level of .09... just above the legal limit.

I like the "yeah riiiiiight" Scooby-Doo references the quoted police officer makes in the story.

 

"Enzo crash grabs celebrity, auto worlds
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- A Ferrari Enzo worth more than $1 million crashed at 120 mph outside Los Angeles -- setting off a search for the driver and drawing howls from auto fans.

While speculation abounded that the owner could be a Hollywood star, Los Angeles County, Calif., authorities said Swedish millionaire Stefan Eriksson, 44, is the owner. Police were investigating whether Eriksson is the noted game designer and driver who has raced Ferraris in Europe.

Eriksson said he was just a passenger, and that a German acquaintance was driving when the car slammed into a Pacific Coast Highway power pole and broke up Tuesday. Eriksson said the driver ran away, but investigators said only the driver's side airbag had deployed in the crash.

Authorities were investigating reports the Ferrari -- one of just 400 of its kind ever made -- was racing a Mercedes.

"He destroyed one of the finest cars on Earth, maybe the finest," Ferrari owner and author Chris Banning told the Los Angeles Times.

"It's like taking a Van Gogh painting and burning it," said Banning, whose "Mulholland Experience" touches on the cult of racing sports cars along the mountainous Pacific Coast Highway."
