However, it won’t cost much to fix.
A scene from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. A red, wrecked Ferrari F40 is found just off an undisclosed roadway, partially down an embankment. 7News.com.au reports that no one was hurt in the accident. However, the Ferrari sustained extensive damage from colliding with many signs before it came to rest in its sad state.
According to Gold Coast Police, the car is “pretty stuffed.” It’s unclear if the Ferrari was an original Ferrari, which would make it very rare and costly, or a replica which would be cheaper to fix. A spokesperson for 7News stated that “Crikey…if this is real, it’s an expensive mistake.” The car is shown in photos with dealer plates. This could indicate that the car was being tested at the time of the accident.
Police believe that the driver may have been speeding because he “just lost control” He was given a ticket for not being in control of his vehicle. The F40, which was offered between 1987 and 1992, is an iconic car. It does not have the safety features that modern supercars have. The driver, the twin-turbocharged, 2.9-liter V8 with 478 horsepower (356 Kilowatts) & 425 pound-feet (576 Newton meters) of torque and the pavement are separated by little.
This Ferrari’s limited production run, combined with its supercar status and pedigree, will make it a difficult project to fix. We believe this Ferrari could be salvageable if it is like the Ferrari which was set on fire in Monaco earlier in the year. Although it is always disappointing to see a supercar go down, there is hope for this one. Ferrari didn’t produce nearly as many F40s. It was produced for five years but only 1,311 F40s were made by the supercar manufacturer in Italy. These numbers will be dwindling due to accidents like this.
