Damn, very surprising indeed...just like the crashed Enzo..the cockpit is fully intact, even though the car probably flipped a good few bit of times...wonder how serious the driver's injuries are, if injured at all

Well, they build the cockpit to save the cock inside (just a pun), so that's believable - but still, the way it got blown to bits, it's either one great crash cell or one shoddy build for everything outside it.
BTW, any articles on that crash?

Carbon fiber shatters which explains all the little pieces.

It looks like a damn plane crash with debris scattered for hundreds of yards. That survival cell is pretty impressive.

Physics are in mind when designing the rest of the car to shed
As the car sheds mass, the remaining mass that is designed to remain intact requires less force to make it change directions; IE: more resistance to continuing in motion.

What a disaster zone! It looked like it was dropped from a plane.
