You can see a medical blanket covering up something in one of the pics, most likely a severed body part, maybe a foot or a head. If the impact shredded carbon fibre, human bone isn't going to stand a chance.

Safetey has nothing to do with the way a car looks after an accident, but rather the owner..

Physhics. Although no one seems to know how fast he was going, I think it is safe to assume very fast. Does anyone remember the pictures of the blue DA Integra in Hawaii that also split in half? If you are going fast enough, and strike something solid the right way ANY car will disintegrate. It is simple physhics...

Ya, did anyone else notice that the tire in the 3rd pic look a little odd? I meen seriously that tire is something like 215mm wide, hardly wide enough for a front tire on an Enzo. I doubt it is a spare because Enzos dont get spares. The front tires should be something like 285mm atleast (dont know exact number). He deserves whatever happened to him if he put sh!tty tires on an Enzo.

I think it says: "Pics from Maranello, taken by RennTeam. The 41-year-old driver died, no other vehicles were involved."

no i think he spun out of control and hit something roadside, compare the tire in the background (first pic) with the police car's tire. definately the enzo's tire.... but why crappy radials????!!!!

Stock tires on an Enzo are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, 245/35 on the front, 345/35 on the rear. If you check the tread pattern that is definitely a Potenza RE050A.
