Besides having jaw-dropping good looks, the Ferrari Enzo has been billed as the ultimate street machine because it does not require a Formula One license to drive, and it can hit 60 mph in less than four seconds. It's also one of the rarest sports cars ever made because less than 400 were manufactured between 2002 and 2004, making it virtually irreplaceable.
Perhaps someone forgot to mention that information to film star Eddie Griffin before he took a seat behind the wheel of an Enzo a week ago. The actor, who has been seen in movies such as Undercover Brother, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, and Norbit, recently crashed the dream car into a concrete embankment while practicing for an upcoming charity race that was to promote his new film, Redline. The film is set to be released on Apr. 13, 2007.
Reports indicated that Griffin approached a turn too fast while driving on the Irwindale Speedway race track in California, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. Although Griffin sustained no injuries, the car wasn't as lucky. Post-crash photos showed severe damage to the front of the car, and the $1.5 million car was deemed a total loss.
