Another supercar crash recently occurred in China with
the car in question this time being a stunning, bright red Ferrari 458 Spider.
The exact cause of the crash is not yet known, but it is
believed that the driver was cruising along at around 100 km/h when he lost
control on a downhill section and speared into a wall absolutely destroying the
front left of the Italian supercar. Further highlighting just how brutal the
impact was is that the airbags were deployed.
Fortunately, the driver emerged from the wreck unhurt.
However, his bank account will inevitably take a hit as repairing the
lightweight aluminium body panels, suspension and brake components as well as a
whole new wheel, wing mirror and windscreen will cost a lot!
As a reminder, the Ferrari 458 Spider features the same
4.5-liter V8 engine as the standard Ferrari 458 Italia and therefore produces
an equal 570 hp. Despite weighing slightly more than the Ferrari 458 Italian
coupe, the Spider can still hit 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and has a lower top
speed of 319 km/h, surely still sufficient to tear up an mountain road and hear
the roar of the cars brutal V8! The following Ferrari 458 Spider however, will
be out of action for quite some time.
