Airborne Enzo and the Swedish Mob?
Interesting tale of an Enzo Ferrari 
Sounds like the Airbag deployed and saved "Fat Steffy".

That was a pretty spectacular crash! Airborne, 162mph, wreckage 1/4 mile from impact. If he had struck the pole just a few feet away at the passenger compartment, I doubt he would have such an exciting story to tell. That was one lucky guy.

That car came apart like a F1 or indy car. Motor over there, suspension over there, tire over there and so on. But the center-passenger area is prefect. I'm glad people race so the cars get safer.

to Ferrari for building a car where the driver can walk away from a crash like that.
to the owner, just glad no one else got hurt because of him.

Enzo Ferrari's philosophy was to make 1 less than you know you can sell. Smart guy.

Enzo Ferrari's philosophy was to make 1 less than you know you can sell. Smart guy. With Enzo's, they made 399+1. The original run was for 399 Enzo's, then Ferrari decided to make a 400th, and gave it to Pope John Paul II. Later, when Pope Benedict declined to use it as a driver, it was auctioned, and the money given to tsunami relief. #400 is in the US now.
#400, aka the Pope's Enzo:
