Ferrari Enzo Crashed by Eddie Griffin

You may remember earlier this year, the gut-wrenching video of a Ferrari Enzo being annihilated by Actor Eddie Griffin whilst filming new film Redline. There were those that even thought the whole event was a publicity stunt, it even led to a "save the Enzo" campaign on some blogs but few would have ever believed the crashed model would ever make it onto the road again.

Those who did believe it, well – you are wrong, the model you see before your eyes is the exact same Enzo which went crashing into a wall on that ill-fated day.

Following the crash, Matt Groner entered the fray, his company Matthews Auto Sales specialises in taking virtually unrepairable high end cars and giving them a new lease of life. They just couldn't pass on the opportunity to get down and dirty with the Enzo and we are sure a great number of Ferrari enthusiasts out there are glad they did.

I like Eddie Griffin alot, hes funny as hell. But if they're still shooting the movie, he has to respect that an Enzo isn't a toy. You have to respect it and before that learn to drive a car of its caliber.

Yeah, who wants an Enzo with a salvage title when they can have a fresh one for about the same price? Yeah guys, have fun with that...

I could be wrong but i would really think theres a discount on this one. I would have complete faith in the car, but i would expect some sort of cheaper price.

other Enzos are costing over 1M USD now... don't know how much this one will cost but it should be alot cheaper...otherwise I don't think this Enzo will find an owner at least we didn't lose another Enzo completely

This one has publicity behind it, someone will want the enzo that eddie crashed haha. So I can see the price drop being not to severe.

Eddie, my man! Always wondered what happened to that Ferrari. Bet Ed felt like a huge winner after that whole fiasco. At first, it probably started off as a joke. I mean, why not hand the keys to an Enzo over to Eddie Griffin, instead of a professional stunt driver? Now that's comedy!

Hmmm... I am assuming the owner is going to keep this car for life. I do not know how he will expect to get 1M USD for this machine with a salvaged title. I mean think about it, actor or no actor crashing this car, would you pay full price (and then some) for a car with salvaged title and frame damage/fatigue?

I know I wouldn't if I had the money to buy one.

The frame of this car is carbon fiber. Any part that got hit has to be replaced, meaning this car is like brand new. Everything on it has to be perfect. This car shouldnt tak that much of a hit on price.

Thats a very good point. I'ld think at least the whole front end of it is brand new.

To argue that certain IQ confers rights to drive a car is eugenic rhetoric. Besides, what business is it of yours if one uses their veyron as a coffee table? It's hard to find parking at IKEA these days you know.

If a normal car is crashed, it gets repaired, if a Ferrari is crashed, it gets "rebuilt"! Uuuuh
