Edo Enzo Ferrari Crash
It’s likely that you watched in dread a YouTube video of exotic car dealer Zahir Rana as he mistakenly drove his $2 million customized V-12 Edo Enzo Ferrari sports car into a river on the south coast of Newfoundland. The car had cosmetic and engine damages amounting to over $100,000. But this didn’t stop Rana from returning to the Targa Newfoundland car rally and bringing a car with an 860hp engine that enables it to reach speeds of up to 392 kilometres per hour.
Rana had vowed back then that he had “so much fun” that he will aim to “do bigger, better next time." Rana’s interest in exotic cars started three decades ago as he watched Magnum PI's stylish vehicles each week. He started to beef up his collection and he later decided to open his own auto shop so that he could perform his own modifications and provide a service to his clients too.
Rana drove his car on the road near Marystown, N.L., the site of the accident. Rana and co-driver Roland Linder had rounded a corner off a bridge and tried to adjust their path as the back end of the car spun out. This threw them right through a guard rail and the car went over an embankment to land onto a tidal river. Rana then had his car shipped to Germany, where mechanics worked on the body and installed a 950hp motor. Rana is already making plans to bring the refirdbished Ferrari back to Newfoundland and announced that he will not be alone as 20 fellow racers want to come along. [source: WinnipegFreePress]
