One less Enzo...

back from the dead...

as our story continues, it seems that mr eriksson's wife was stopped yesterday in beverly hills for driving an SLR that only had british tags on it. not only was the car not registered in the states, his wife had no drivers license. the car was impounded and it seems that scotland yard is pretty sure the car is stolen property.

the SLR was brought into the states along with 2 ferrari's( the Enzo being one of the 2) for strictly show purposes. yea, right...

In other words, this guy is seriously f*cked.:cool:

I'm sure that after the US legal system chews him up and spits him out, there will be a visit to the Old Bailey, and then on to Sweden...:eek:
 
And the story continues...here's a good summary of everything that's happened so far. Wow. I mean, wow.
 
GRRR!!
This was no ordinary car, or car crash. Ferrari reportedly made only 400 of the dazzlingly impractical, gull-winged Enzos, worth $1 million and up. With 660-horsepower, V-12 engines and a sleek, road-hugging profile, they look and drive like UFOs with wide tires.

But then it doesn't say $1m new in your quote just its worth now. I don't know what the Enzos are going for now but I know plenty of 'classics' change hands above list, I know my boss made a killing on his F40 in the late 80's early 90's.
 
well, i hope for three things:

i hope the stupid investors and board members of Gizmodo lost a fortune for failing to oversee what's going on.

i hope this whole gang of cheaters goes to a really bad jail for 20 years.

i hope someone makes a great movie of this story!
 
Another update...Ericksson appeared in court today on a bunch of charges, but his arraignment was postponed until May 30th. This whole story is just so juicy...
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :(
Of course, I just got the new issue of Road & Track, and they published a picture taken of the screen for the onboard recorder of his car. It shows a max of 215MPH, which was achieved somewhere in Nevada (which Richard describes as "the state just west of Utah"). That must have been a hairy road for him to lose it around 100MPH

That's incredible! How on EARTH did he manage to do that?

I mean, those things are so unreliable, it's amazing he even managed to get that thing out of the garage :p

Ha, you've been spending too much time listening to Jeremy Clarkson. ;) :D
 
my brother inlaw crashed his ferrari f355 berlinetta hard top...
a year later and 30,000 dollars put in, its back and running.

this is it before the crash.
ive never seen it damaged cause he refused to show me.:rolleyes:
 
The guy who owns it is the producer of his new movie.

He said he spent 15 minutes in his trailer (the producer) and thought about how people are dieing every day to get through this.

That was 1.5M down the drain. Only 400 Made, I doubt its replaceable. He said the car is totaled.
 
Those other 398 people that own these cars just had the value of theirs go up after these wrecks.

It's a shame when some cars are so rare and valuable that you can't even afford to drive the darned thing.
 
There's no way on earth that's a write off.

I didn't think so when I saw the video. The barrier did its job, but the car hit the barrier at an angle and left the ground. I don't know what the frame would look like after that.

I actually read it somewhere, but I can't find the link, sorry...
