Anyone know the story behind this?

That sucks

 

There was a thread about this something like a year ago... that's all I know

 

I remember it happened in Florida

 

I am pretty sure someone was moving the ar for a dealership and he lostit going around a corner at something like 120MPH....but I could be completely lying.

 

Salesman or dealershpi manager lost it around a corner. He was doing 30mph but it was rainy. You don't crash at 120mph and not do any damage

 

That sounds about right. The Carrera GT gets loose really easily. When I got a ride in one wet spots on the road caused a bit of wheelspin. Even though it appears there is not much damage, he probably cracked the front bumper which is carbon fiber, and possibly the carbon under panels. Each of those parts are a little over $10,000 a piece.

 

All the pics of the accident show the road being dry. I'm thinking faster than 30

Along the same lines, this happened here a while back, kinda funny actually. Friend of mine represented the driver.

 

Squirrelly rear end!

 

musta been a hell of a diablo if it did 161k damage. i'm trying to think of one that's worth that. also, why would you have to import one from UK?

 

The car was being transported from CA to VA Beach. The transport driver or someone from the company took it for a spin in Richmond. That article was on a BBC web site for some reason. They actually convicted him by using DNA from his blood left on the airbag after he lost it and hit a sign.

 

my bad.
