I would guess it's probably designed to do that. If you think about it, it makes sense to design a mid engined car to split the safety cell away from the drive-train in the event of a big impact on the side of the back half of the car.

Does it have a carbon tub? Many cars of that construction split along the subframe between the tub and the engine.

See this Enzo crash:

Yep, carbon tub. Classic failure where the tub is mounted to the engine, fortunate really!
