Wow - I said Enzo the second I saw the engine... The enzo seems to be the only car I've ever seen that tosses it's engine out in a crash. How many is that detsroyed now? 5-6, more? I believe it was not a good aerodynamic design, and apparrently the car lifts suddenly and without warning at the high speeds it is capable of. Needs more downforce.

Truly a sad thing, this. Glad the guy is okay. If you get Road & Track, this is (or was...) the Enzo they've used for their testing. Had an article on it in the last issue even, written by the driver/owner. He drove it as a daily driver, and had something like 30k miles on it.
It was a charity event, where they close down a stretch of road and the participants get "speeding tickets," the proceeds of which go to support charity. Run by the same chap that built the new track here, Larry Miller.

Saw an article on autoblog, and turns out he was going almost 200 mph, and hit a bump and wen airborne. Flipped 7 times. Ouch.

I thought the car used by Road&Track belonged to Richard Losee. He recently turned his Enzo into a 'Targa' with the help of Maranello. He is also in Utah.
