I read this on another site im part of, Poor car.

A rare custom Ferrari Enzo (itself already more rare than steak tartar) — claimed to be the world's fastest — crashed into a Canadian lake earlier today as part of the Targa Newfoundland race. No word on any injuries, but the doors are open so that's a good sign.
The drivers of the car were competing in a stage of the 1,300-mile Targa Newfoundland rally race today when the Enzo lost control and pulled a Bugatti Veyron lake crash by flying into the body of water pictured.

Not only is this a rare Ferrari Enzo, it appears to be the an even more distinct Edo Enzo XX owned by Canadian exotic car dealer Zahir Rana of ZR Auto. The car was tuned to be like a streetable Ferrari FXX.


This custom Ferrari (shown here before the crash) produces 840 hp and can run to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds with a top speed of over 240 mph. Rana has pushed his cars before and it's a race, so speed was potentially a factor in this crash.

More photos and videos as soon as they're uploaded to the internet. I wish we didn't have to use the Save the Enzos tag so often.

Congratulations to Ralph and the SRT team for the respectful finishes. Especially over many purpose-built rally cars.

Even if Ralph came in last, we would still be cheering for him up here in canada!

Thanks for the links!

What a great finish for Ralph! I can't wait to see some more footage of the events. Ralphs description of the 5th rainy day sounds insane. Any ideas when/where more footage will be available? Maybe a DVD?

So the Viper Ralph is racing is wearing Pirellis...

Speed channel normally has this event on in early Winter, so let's hope we get lots of shots of Ralph and Jen ( co-driver ) screaming around Newfoundland. There is a video feed on the event at www.drivesrt.com also. Good run for Ralph and crew and this tough event rewards experience and nice finish for his third attempt.

Gotta say it is a testament to SRT and Motorsports to have the CEO of each participating in events like this and the Viper Cup ----- the man in charge gets it!!!!

Great video link Bill.. Team Viper was looking real good and appeared to be the crowd favorite with the children and adults.
