The Ferrari 296 GTB Has 830 HP
The L 535 near the Lampenhain/Hilsenhain junction had to be completely closed for the duration of the recovery operations. According to police, emergency services also had to cut down trees. The closure lasted several hours.

The damage is estimated at around 300,000 euros. The reason why the driver veered off the road with the Ferrari is still unclear and is under investigation. According to the manufacturer, the model has 830 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds with a 3.0-liter V6 engine and an additional electric motor, and has a top speed of 330 km/h.

 

The wreck was about 25km from Heidelberg, I think.
