Zonda destroyed, driver lives...

Poor, Poor, Zonda F...
Quote:
Driver miraculously survives 199 mph supercar crashA $1.5 million Pagani Zonda registered in Monaco spun out of control at 199 mph earlier this week on Italy's A10 autostrada. Miraculously, the young Italian-Argentine-German driver survived, but sadly, the black Zonda F gave its life so he might hoon catastrophically another day.

Full size
According to reports, forensics have revealed that the driver — a German citizen — lost control at approximately 320 km/h (198.8 mph), sending the $1.5 million supercar into a spin. It hit a guardrail on its right side, lost a wheel, overturned and shot across the roadway, where it collided with a Mercedes — with whom the driver was apparently racing — and came to rest on the opposite guardrail. Both the 28-year-old driver and his 21-year-old Lithuanian passenger were unhurt.

An Italian-Argentine citizen of Germany in a Monaco-registered Pagani Zonda F? Again, thanks to a carbon-composite safety cell, Darwin ignores the baller rich.
damn!

It's as much the design of the highway than the engineering of the car that allowed the driver to live. The guard rails on both sides of the highway keep the car sliding along after the collision long enough to dissipitate the energy.

The guy who miraculously survived the 199 mph Zonda F crash is none other than Steffen Korbach who invested heavily in the company after founder Uwe Gemballa was murdered. You think he'd be smarter than to tempt fate.
