Yeah like the case with a lambo I saw pictures of the other day. The car crashed due to an SUV which drove on the wrong side of the car. The Enzo is the worst of them all. There of pictures on the net of a pink Enzo which crashed with a pole. Yes the driver was driving fast but instead of the car just getting wrecked it was torn into pieces and yeah the driving died of cource. BTW does car slike the enzo and CGT have a metal framwork of the everything except the chassie made of carbonfibre?

***? - I hardly see how this pertains to the question "Are super cars safe".

No matter what kind of car you drive, you can never have control over on-coming traffic.

Perhaps he's asking how well protected are you in a "SuperCar", as oppossed too a everyday BMW/MB type car.

Active safety is pretty much state-of-the-art on supercars - the most advanced braking and suspension systems available ensure complete control over the vehicle for an experienced driver. Passive safety too, I'm certain is not compromised in any way on these cars - the SLR, for example, has all the same safety features that other Mercedes models have.

It's just the speed that supercars go at which makes them dangerous.

Re: Are super cars safe? - 11-23-2005, 08:15 AM

i think TVR's dont even have ABS or ESP or both....something to do with they have to make over a certain amount of cars per year to be forced to fit ABS...i think thats really dumb though because who drives a TVR to drive slowly? and without ABS or ESP or both then if you lose control you could still injure someone else? ***........i think its tvr, correct me if im wrong!!

thats exactly what i meant. How better than a "normal" car, does a "supercar" protect you. Thanks Alex.

BTW, Roberto I drive a Volvo S60 and a Renault Clio...
