Unreal!! The car is actually split in half. This is the Ferrari signature crash result.
You think these Nimrods would take it to the track and learn to drive!
what a wast of a life and a beautiful car!

Can someone explain why Ferraris break in two pieces. It's really scary to think that an accident in one of these would split the car in half, and leave the passengers exposed to the road with a higher chance of fatality.
I have seen pictures of 348, F355 a 360 Modena splitting in half. Most recently an Enzo.

I assume you're saying this because of the Enzo that crashed in Cali a while ago. That crash was entirely different, the monocoque stayed intact in that case, the engine detached.

same, in that we got two separate pieces. (rare) and different as you say. Looked like the enzo busted cleanly off the rear firewall and the passenger compartment was intact. He walked away (or ran/stumbled away) though.
