The Carrera GT definitely has one seeing it uses a CF monocoque with aluminum strut/suspension assembly attach to it. But it impacted the pole dead on in the middle of the safety cell/passenger cabin (which isn't designed to break away) rather than the front/rear of the car allowing the mounts to detach.

The Enzo crash above was simply a matter of luck in the fact the ass of the car hit the light-pole rather than the passenger cabin
