SPLAT! goes the Ferrari
March 28th, 2007
Eddie Griffin, a 38-year-old actor comedian totaled a $1.5 million rare Enzo Ferrari. He was practicing for an upcoming charity race event to promote his film “Redline” when he crashed the car into a concrete barrier. While the car is completely destroyed, with heavy damage to the front end, walked away without a scratch. The Enzo, owned by “Redline” executive producer Daniel Sadek said “I’m glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed.” Sadek’s exotic car collection is being featured in the movie. Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were produced and all were made between 2002 and 2004. Named after The Company’s founder Enzo Ferrari, the car was designed based on Formula 1 technology. Originally only 349 units would be made but Ferrari was convinced to make another 50. In 2005 Ferrari decided to make 1 more Enzo. The car was auctioned by Sotheby’s to benefit survivors of the 2004 Tsunami. The auction raised $1.27 million, twice the list price and proceeds were given to Pope Benedict.
