One less Enzo...

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...

There is no frame, it's a carbon fiber monocoque. In crash testing for the U.S., the McLaren F1 (which also used a CF monocoque) was still drivable, with only the very front end sustaining damage. The front wheel wells were almost completely intact.
 
It's a write-off in the sense that even if it was feasible to repair it, it will never, ever drive like an Enzo again, nor, will it be worth the same as an unwrecked Enzo.

Have to remember the Indy/Champ cars are repaired after more intense wrecks. And drive basically the same, with very little degradation in safety.

Basically strip the vehicle and bolt on new parts, but if the tub is damaged ... either it'll get sent off if it isn't too bad, or written off and used for parts.

Looks bad, but might not really be anything wrong with the part of the car that counts when it comes to the repair.

These things seem to be dropping like flies, seems a decent repair center can make a decent business of repairing these things. :)
 
I think it will be repairable. Expensive, but if you have an Enzo in the first place you can afford it.

So when are we going to rename this the "Enzo Death Registry Thread"? ;)
