Yikes! Rare Ferrari F40 Worth Over Rs 19 Crores Crashed Into A Wall During A Car Event

Imagine saving up to buy the car of your dreams and seeing it crumble right in front of your eyes. Wouldn't that be a sore sight? Well, that did happen and that too to an ultra-rare Ferrari.

A rare Ferrari F40 skidded and crashed into a wall during an event.

This incident occurred at the 2022 Kerenzerbergrennen hill climb race on Sunday when this supercar skidded and lost control. The car may have been bit by turbo lag coming out of a corner and ran nose-first into the barrier.

According to reports, thankfully, neither the driver nor a woman spectating near the scene of the accident was injured. Although an ambulance did race to the scene of the accident, it returned to its post quite quickly, since its help wasn¡¯t required.

But one can't say the same for the expensive Ferrari which is over Rs 19 crores. A video of the aftermath of this crash showed the limited edition 1990s classic car being lifted onto the back of a rescue lorry.

By the looks of it, the front of the car appeared to be totally smashed. Although it may be possible to repair, fixing it is unlikely to be cheap. With values going as high as $2.8 million, this accident could have a serious impact on the driver¡¯s net worth.
