i am worried by stories here and ferrarichat about injured drivers and passengers in accidents that should not have caused such injuries. in particular, it appears that crush zones are not well developed in even newer ferraris such as 360's and 355's.
please provide me with any information you have on ferrrari safety in accidents, including the results of crash testing in europe or elsewhere. any tests on the new f430 would be particularly welcome.



In the write up regarding the 430 Ferrari indicates that the stiffness of the chassis is so good that they opted NOT to install side airbags. However, as in any sport car high speed collision serious injuries are likely regardless of the make of the vehicle.
