    Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    Bad day. A totaled 328, smashed front of the blue car.
    Roll back/tow truck blocking both lanes of a mountain pass on a blind corner.
    I was heading north and the Ferrari was heading south.
    I was going a decent speed , not too crazy. I came round the corner,s aw the truck, veered hard right dropped off road hit dirt spun, 360, hit the trucks driver side wheel. Bent it in half and destroyed his axle. I walked away fine.
    Ferrari tried to swerve , spun first ,slid tail first into the truck bounced off and hit a tree.
    Aaaaahhhh







    Gotta give props to the Consulier's strength. I have a bruised pelvis , broken molar and sore shoulders and stomach area from belts.
    Now to deal with the aftermath.

    Ah man sorry, that is no good. Glad that you are not seriously injured. Damage to the car looks pretty isolated to the corner.. let us know what you find.

    OUCH! Man that sucks! What was the truck doing in the middle of the road!?

    I am glad to hear you weren't seriously injured.

    As for the car, that looks like it can be fixed fairly easily....depending on how far the stresses made it through the chassis. The whole car needs to be NDI tested to make sure that the stresses didn't cause delamination or any other damage throughout the tub. More than likely the answer is that it didn't hurt the structure. I don't know how it's built, really, but the repair actually might not be all that bad.

    Oh no!
    Glad to hear you weren't hurt worse!
    Maybe Jacob can chime in about repair procedure. The crash test car they used didn't look in too bad of shape post test, so it appears the structure can really take a beating.

    Re: Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    The truck was attempting to back into a driveway which was on the left side of the road. He was trying to do a 3+ point turn on a mountain road with a 55mph speed limit.

    Repair-wise most body gaps appear to be unchanged.
    The windshield seems to have been loosened and the seal is not intact.

    There is a carbon fiber race yacht builder/repair place in West Palm. Hoping to have him do repair after ensuring the alignment etc.


    The area damaged seems to be primarily Kevlar , the inner fender area has a very small crack. Gaps around front wheels are the same.
    Some weird stuff - A/C fan no longer comes on, lights under dash where knocked out of turn signals etc.
    Wheel destroyed from going over the side.

    Is that one of those shiny plastic covers over the truck wheel?

    So your fender was able to taco a steel 22.5" wheel?

    little bondo and some paint, youll be fine!

    but seriously, the car should be fine structurally.

    with enough front impact the nose will start to buckle straight across the tops of the front wheels. There doesnt appear to be any signs of that.

    Be sure to drop the front sub-frame and check the mounting holes for elongation etc.

    That's an Alcoa aluminum wheel.
    And look at the front view of the truck.

    I see some minor stress crack above it on the upper fender.
    No appearance of buckling. The passenger side door MAY be a little more difficult to close , but I may be being neurotic.

    Re: Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    Glad your ok. I can tell you these cars are hard as F. A normal car would have likely been totaled. I mean you crushed the truck axle and that's all the damage? I will post a pic of the crash test car at 55 mph, small damage only. Your avoidance skills and car setup saved your car. The Ferrari at likely stock setup lost control and is now
    Gone. Time for a a full repaint ?

    Re: Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    I was thinking this ^ as I read the first post

    on the bright side , now you can get rid of your uneeded front plate mount points ..

    glad you're "ok" but I'm sorry to see your nice blue car got a nasty bump
    - I was looking at it in another thread thinking how much I really like the colour of it too

    Crashing sucks, never a silver lining in a crash ever. Great news that you both walked away from it, story would be even worse if either of you hadn't. That 328 is going to make some resto shop a nice front clip.

    At least the damaged corner is the fender with that dimple, so that can be addressed at the same time.

    Re: Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    I thought I read someplace or heard through the grapevine at some point that the Kevlar used in the car was in the rear bulkhead/firewall area and that most everything else was some form of fiberglass. Dunno if it's E-glass or S-glass. I also don't know if they used structural foam, honeycomb, metal sandwich. I'm fairly sure there's structural foam in it, but have never gotten a full answer.

    Jacob, I'm very interested in this sort of thing. Are you at liberty to discuss the structural build of the car as far as the composite build-up is concerned? The other thing I don't know...were these autoclaved or just vacuum bagged?

    Re: Consulier and Ferrari vs roll back truck

    On way to CHP to get the accident report.
    I was thinking the same thing about the "dimple".

    Hopefully this report is favorable and we don't have to sue the company etc.
