They are a carbon fiber tub, like an F1 car. I am not a big fan of Enzos, I personally think the last "real" Ferrari was the F40, BUT I do have to say that the Enzo looks like a good car to be in if you plan to crash at 200 mph.

Now, as far as idiots and Enzos are concerned, please refer to the Enzo crash in Malibu with Eriksson, the guy on the run for embezzling millions from his "company". Car clipped a concrete light pole at 150+ MPH, cuts the car in two, and the guy walked away. Not bad! See, the car is as safe for the bad guys as it is for the good guys.

If your going to have a big off like those two chaps did,that's a car you want to be in.It's designed to dissipate energy by breaking apart during impact.Triple digit miscues are more similar to aircraft crashes-take it from someone who was a paid crash test dummy for years! Make no mistake luck played a big part in both these.In the Malibu example,that pole impacts 12" forward of the B pillar (instead of behind) and all the carbon fiber in the world would not have saved him.The Utah one looks like he hooked it off the apron-the car did it's job,but he just as easily could have suffered a broken neck since i'm assuming he wasn't wearing a HANS.Driving talent is a term relative to frame of reference,which is not meant to disparage his in any way.JMHO
