F430 Accident!!!!

You really have to screw up to flip a car. A little scandinavian flick and your average SUV is on its roof, but a wide sports car with a low center of gravity? Are these people wiping out at near three-digit speeds?

 

can you say 'parts only'?

 

Wasn't this the rented F430 crashed on some poor guy's wedding day?

It sure hurts to see this video... but it is cool to see what the car looks like underneath

Ferraris should never be rent cars, Period!!

no appreciation whatsoever

 

Looked like a nasty crash! Hopefully no one was seriously hurt!!

 

Sad to see a 430 in that state

 

Well the dude is talking Italian, the plates are Italian, so Im guessing some crazy Italian was driving it as well

Sad to see tho

 

repost

 

The driver is a MORON!!!!

 

I cried a little bit just now...

 

Here is a fresh one from last night

According to the driver, the brakes malfunctioned and witnesses stated that the car did not look like it was speeding when entering the corner.

Driver passed police breath alcohol test.

I would sue Ferrari if that was really the case.

he was probably entering data on his blackberry!

 

Nice plate .

 

most likely working on the layoff list

 

According to the article the owner just bid the plates last month for 320k HKD, which is approx. 40k USD.

 

Wow just saw this pic, i saw this car just a week ago at IMSS in for service.

 

these guys just prefer an insurance settlement to selling on the plummeting 430 market..

Also happened over the weekend

Apparently the yellow boxster bumped into the taxi in front while he had all his attention on the flipped Lambo... what an idiot!

Was that the gold LP640? Its hard to tell from the photos. Very sad to see this.

 

Maybe a dumb question, but how do you get out of a flipped Murci? The doors open UP (meaning into the ground) and if the electrical system is dead, the windows aren't going to open.

 

I have pics here of a yellow Murcie, that flipped onto its roof and caught fire. The driver and female passenger were burnt alive.

I will not post pics here. It has put me off owning a Lambo incase something like that were to happen. The doors cannot open and you would have to try and crawl out of the windows. If the windows are up, then you would have to smash them. Being upside down in that, with the chance of it catching on fire sends shivers down my spine!

 

Not if you are a true enthusiast. It was the only way for me to experience a 360 for a few days (can't afford one yet).
I took great care of it, allowing proper warm up time etc...(and even hand washed it after every drive).
Renting one was the only way to fulfill a childhood dream. Next step, ownership!

 

She was an Eastern European model (Rumanian I think) - driver wanted to show off. You can find pics if you look for them, but my word they're gruesome.

Simple solution though: put a glass hammer in your car! You can then exit through the side windows, if you're not hurt too much and can still move on your own power. All things considered it is probably best not to flip a car.


Onno

 

Pity to see these.................

Drive carefully guys!
