Please, not again!!!!!
No one was laughing when Comedian Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth nearly $1.5 million into a concrete barrier. He was practicing Monday for a charity race to promote his upcoming movie, “Redline”, when he entered a curve to fast at the Irwindale Speedway. Griffin lost control of the Enzo and crashed it directly into a cement barrier.The car received heavy front end damage to its front., destroying the car.Griffin excaped uninjured except for his pride. The Enzo is owned by “Redline” executive producer Daniel Sadek, it is his exotic car collection that is featured in the movie. (Don’t expect Eddie Griffin to appear in any of Sadek’s movies any time soon)
Sadek said the Enzo was damaged beyond repair.
“I’m glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed,” Sadek said. “I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought,`There’s people dying every day. A lot of worse things are happening in the world.” This is the not the first time one of these limited eddition Ferrari’s bit the dust in the hands of an unqulified driver. The car is simply the closest any car company has ever come to putting a Formula 1 racecar onto city streets. The car is powered by a V12 660 bhp engine set into a 3,000 pound car, which is capable of 0-62 mph in just 3.65 seconds and a top speed of 225 miles per hour. The fact is this car is just too much car for an untrained driver to handle. Archive for the ‘Dream cars’ Category
