    After a show over the weekend where Ferrari Sweden was showing Enzo, F50, F40, 599, 430 Scuderia, 360 challenge and more the F50 went off the road when driving back home. It was inches from a lamp post when going off the road. Sources say the car seems to be ok.

    Guess the owner was not to happy...

    I hope tha car was not damaged.

    Look at the tire marks behind him. Looks like he decided to have some fun around that right hander and then couldn't catch up to what that engine could do....

    Shame. I guess we all make mistakes--I know I have before. Hope it doesn't cost him too much.

    The Enzo, F40 and F50 were followed by many, many cars on it´s way from the show. Owner was driving. No serious damage reported on driver or car luckily.

    This comment has to be made by someone who has

    A: Never driven a light powerful rear wheel drive car
    B: Never experienced a climate that has tempratures close to 0 degrees Celsius.

    This combination can make any1 to loose control.

    Probably a couple of buckled or scuffed wheels etc, nothing major. Doesnt look like he was going too quick in the end to be honest given the distance the car travelled down the embankment.

    Lovely car by the way.

    PS. I wonder what he was thinking as he saw that lamp post, "Hmm, this aint good". Just glad he didnt and is in one piece. Whats important is that, and I'm not saying this incident happened as a result of wreckless driving, but people should learn from these things just how dangerous driving can be......whether your being wreckless or not.

    That's a good typo. Rather than being reckless, he did in fact end up wreck-less :)

    Just as well really given the prices of F50 stuff.

    The car looks like a toy in that picture. Hopefully there wasn't to much damage caused to the car.

    Perhaps this is a test mule of the Ferrari SUV we're always hearing about... :D

    seems that these are always being crashed, must be a difficult drive (or attracts poor drivers)
