Redline red carpet: Eddie’s crashed Enzo on display for movie premiere

Filed under: ,

You all remember Eddie Griffin, the celebrity gent who recently hopped in a borrowed Enzo and decided to test his theories on speed vs. coefficient of friction, vector change, and impact absorption? Well, like a proud papa whose kid blows up the chemistry class but gets on the front page of the local paper, the team behind his new movie, Redline, has decided to share the results of Eddie’s physics experiment with the public: the And-There-Went-Another-Enzo is on display at Graumans’ Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in advance of the movie’s Thursday premiere.

It is entirely possible that Griffin was trying to show people at the Irwindale Speedway a scene from the film, which, based on the trailer, looks like 90210-meets-the-Gumball-Rally-meets-demolition-derby. Apparently people who go to movies bursting with multimillion dollar machines want to see them run into every solid object possible. A movie spokesperson, who said the car would be lying “in state,” added that “Surrounding the car, in tribute, will be several high-profile sports cars as well as floral, candle and tribute displays to the car. It’ll be a very special memorial service.”

Oh Enzo, we hardly knew ye.
