Dive Of A Ferrari Enzo in The Atlantic Ocean : Original Video

Between 2002 and 2004, Ferrari built a limited run of approximately 400 Enzo supercars. Understandably, being such an extremely rare car, when an Enzo bites the dust, or rather in this case, the sea, the news makes headlines.

This particular accident involved a 2003 Ferrari Enzo tuned by Edo Competition that was driven by Calgary car dealer Zahir Rana at the Targa Newfoundland Rally in Canada.

At some point during the race, Rana lost control of the Italian supercar after hitting a hard bump on the gravel sending it straight into the ocean…

Fortunately, neither Rana nor his co-driver Roland Linder were hurt while the car was actually saved having suffered only some minor damages.

Chrysler to Sell Fiat Doblo in the U.S. and Canada under the Ram Brand

In a move that perhaps shows more than anything else how intertwined the automotive industry is today, the Fiat and Chrysler Alliance announced today plans to sell the Fiat Doblo van in the U.S. and Canadian markets under the Ram brand.

You may recall that GM's European division Opel, will debut its own rebadged version of the Fiat Doblo called the Combo at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show .

The Chrysler Group has not yet released photos nor specifications on the Ram-badged Doblo, but said the van will be imported from Turkey as it will be built by the Fiat Group's Turkish joint-venture partner TOFAS.

The company added that TOFAS will invest over US$160 million for the necessary US and Canadian homologation and customer requirement modifications, with sales of Doblo to commence on this side of the Atlantic in early 2013.

Canadian Police Confiscate 13 Supercars after Youngsters Speed Race [with Video]

Ocean’s 13 got away with stealing diamonds, earning millions of cash and ruining their adversary’s life. British Columbia’s 13, 12 young men and one woman, all under 21 years old, got away with racing each other, reaching speeds of over 125 mph (200 km/h) on a metro Vancouver highway with a $196 fine each. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced that the cars impounded had a combined value of $2 million. These are the supercars that were temporarily seized:

2007 Ferrari 599

According to a police report, two drivers would block traffic behind them by running side-by-side clearing the road ahead, while the rest would race each other.

“These drivers seemed to be looking for attention. Well, they definitely got the attention of the police” commented Lower Mainland District Regional Police Service spokeswoman, Cpl. Holly Marks.

However, the 13 offenders, of which only was the registered owner of the vehicle he was driving, will get away just with the ticket after being charged with “driving without reasonable consideration.” That’s because they didn’t actually get caught on the act, but the police acted on reports based from eye witnesses.

According to the Vancouver Star, if the police had been able to charge them with more sever offenses, they could have forfeited their vehicles!

Now, the young drivers will only have to pay the ticket and the costs of towing and storing their cars, which were impounded for seven days.

Guess when you drive a 599 Fiorano, a Gallardo or an SLS AMG, after this punishment you’ll just laugh your way to the impound yard…
