Ferrari F430 Challenge Accident

I spotted this at a local body shop on 8/4/13. Was not given details on how the accident happened. One can only assume it happened on the track, as the wheels/hood pins/number on the front show that it is a Challenge car.

Ferrari F355 Accident

Crashed after trying to show off to patron's at a nearby restaurant when the driver lost control. Serious damage to the 'targa' style F355 but even more damage to the owner's ego I would imagine.

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Accident

On the A3 near Bad Camberg (Hesse), traffic jammed due to a construction site. The 57-year-old driver of the luxury bullet reacted too late, slammed with a two-ton Audi Q5 - the SUV caught even a BMW X5. Total Damage: $300,000 euros!

Ferrari F355 GTS Accident

Rain + speed + inexperience = this. A stunning yellow F355 GTS has been damaged thanks to that equation. No injuries to driver but this will be quite a repair bill for sure.

Ferrari 360 Modena Accident

Victim was on the way home from a late night karting session when he lost control and overturned.

His brother, who was riding ahead in another car driven by a friend saw it all happen.

“I was in another car with my driving instructor — who was also my brother's university friend — with my brother just behind us. Suddenly we saw him overtake us and hit the curb of a sharp bend. The impact was such that the car flipped a couple of times before coming to a rest a fair distance away. It all happened in a flash in front of our eyes,” he recalled.

“We rushed to the car which was now on fire. I could only see his leg dangling out because the smoke and fire were so intense. People rushed out to help and tried to douse the blaze with fire extinguishers. The fire did die for a moment, before everything went up in flames. However, we had enough time to pull him out of the car,”

The driver later died.
