[AntiCHP]

You are cor-rect, Sir. Funny thing is, I didn't think twice about it NOT being a 612... with the engine there in the passengers seat it is easy to fathom the front-mounted v12 getting pushed into the car.

Nope. Not sure how that V8 got there. But if I recall correctly, it is used as a stressed structural member onto which many of the rear suspension pieces are mounted... which, I'm guessing, was probably scouped up by a truck and placed "shotgun".

Seriously, the driver would have walked away... except for two broken ankles!! TWO BROKEN ANKLES!? No offense, but it doesn't sound appropriately painful relative to the degree of irresponsibility that presents itself as exhibit A. [see photo above].

It's simply amazing to think anyone could live through that kind of carnage...
