Hasn't the great Christiano Ronaldo destroyed a few?

Seen a few Cheshire based footballers in hedges over the years.

What football team does the driver play for?

Clearly avoiding a Badger like the McClaren driver did recently http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ash-200mph-sports-car-wrecked-smashing-house/

Flames/heat from the exhaust setting the bumpers on fire seems to have happened a few times on some supercars :/

Im guessing Ferrari have some sort of waiting/preference list for people who purchase a Ferrari, would they sell another Ferrari to someone who does this after just purchasing one?

I doubt it. If some millionaire just goes and slaps a pile of cash on the salesman's desk, they aren't going to say no.

Unless it's a limited run car, I think they would almost certainly sell them another car. As long as they get paid what's the problem?

I guess so, just I would think Ferrari are very proud of the badge and excellence that goes into building these cars only to see someone wright it off.

A brand new 260k Ferrari 430? I thought they stopped making those in 2010 ish when the 458 came out.

Either way... oops

Its a Scuderia, worth a lot of money now.

I'd imagine he assumed that the electronic trickery like traction control would keep him on the road in the wet. Not really the case though.

I've only ever driven a 318is with rudimentary traction control so these vids always make me think maybe I'm better off without modern electricery after all!

Wasn't it made only for the Japanese market in a small run?

If you go in to a corner like he did in a RWD sports car, it won't save you. It will only stop you spinning.

Watch when they rag the GT86 around the track on top gear, there still a lot of movement (they keep the TC on). That's "only" a 200hp car.

Almost like an effective slow spin.
