    De nog geen jaar oude Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano van de Zwitsers, waarde 300.000 euro, ging op de Bleskolksingel in Almelo door onbekende oorzaak in vlammen op.

    Zij wachtten bij een verkeerslicht toen zij vuur onder de motorkap vandaan zagen komen. Er was voor de brandweer geen redden meer aan.


    Yet no more than a year old a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano of the Swiss, price of 300,000 Euro, was absorbed by flames on the Bleskolksingel in Almelo through unknown cause.

    They watched fire come out from under the hood when stoped at a traffic light. by the time the fire department came, the car could not be saved.

    they will get a replacement car from Ferrari because they are such good clients (they own the only Fxx in the Netherlands)

    is it just me or do new ferrari's have an insanely high ratio for going up in flames as compared to any other new automobiles?

    How many have been delivered? 500? Thats 5 in 500 in 6 months. Or.... 2% per year or.... 20% in 10 years.

    Is this the new math?

    Hope he is okay. Is this the reason these cars are trading for over $500K now?!? I just read the article of the car in Car & Driver and I can not wait to ride or drive one!!!!

    the owner is good customer of Ferrari (+- 25 Ferraris), so he may have a new one (for free!!!) :)

    EDIT: the same car, 2 hours before the accident
