Porker:
Love it, same goes for that Phantom ploughing through his field.
What's the harm in getting your cars dirty?
In the case of the Enzo, bottoming can hurt the carbon undertray, suspensions (especially those active shock absorbers) and bushings could be damaged, transmission stressed from the bumps and surely you will need a wheel alignment afterwards. Not to mention stone chipping to the bodywork and the odd broken carbon-ceramic brake disk in case of a stone clogking between the callipers.

It's his car, isn't it?
You would praise him through the roof if he took his Enzo to Spa, while that would put at least as much strain on the car, right?

It's designed for tarmac race tracks though.
The owner can do whatever he wants with his car, and IMO, it's hardly being "abused"...I've seen much worse
btw the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone doing to "his" car is this (REALZEUS, don't look, or at least don't imagine it being an Enzo ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cFGVgWO8nc

Gauss: completely agree with your comments, I couldn't actually watch the entire video.
Back to the original video: I love the "TAXTHRICH" license plate
I never saw the car take a bad 'bottoming out' or any other actual abuse. It all looked like good fun. The sound track was great and some of the camera angles were very impressive.
It reminds me of the TV series 'Crime Story' when Ray Luca was visiting a business contact in Mexico and was blasting across the desert in a GTO. (Certainly not filmed in the early 1960's, very likely not a real Ferrari GTO, and probably not even filmed in Mexico: it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to enjoy Hollywood sometimes)

Ferrari Enzo used like a rally car, it brings tears to our eyes to see this beautiful work of are getting manhandled.
All it requires to appreciate this video is a little sense if humour :)
These cars are just toys and should be enjoyed as such.
Let me put it this way: If the Enzo would be one car of many (super cars) and I could afford repairing it without taking a sweat, why not? Personally, I wouldn't do it because a lot of damage can be done and throwing out tens of thousands just for a few minutes of fun isn't really my cup of tea but hey, it is his money and his car, so I just enjoyed the video.

JesseBank:
It's a pretty funny spoof of Ken Block's first Gymkhana video. So it got a bit dirty and may need an alignment once they're finished - but no real damage. All in good fun.
I mean, I wouldn't do that if I had an Enzo, but to each is own...
Absolutely intended as a Block spoof; but I think Ferrari may actually approve of this. In the recent NY Times review of the F12 Berlinetta, CEO Felisa made a strong point that Ferraris are intended to be driven, and was quoted as saying “Collectors are our worst kind of customer”, and “A Ferrari is not meant to fill your garage.”
