WATCH: Two speeding Ferraris fly straight to heaven
Prepare to have your soul broken… a 296 GTB and F12 Berlinetta have been written off on cameraTwo Ferraris have been written off in a road racing incident in Italy over the weekend and the high-speed crash was caught on camera and posted to YouTube.
A residential security camera captured the moment a red Ferrari 296 GTB and a blue F12 Berlinetta hit an embankment and became airborne after severely overshooting a tight turn in a soul crushing display of tomfoolery.
The mid-engined supercar and flagship grand tourer then slam into a particularly sturdy retaining wall before the F12 catches fire and is engulfed in flames, leaving little more than a melted blue shell.
The footage’s time stamp reveals the incident happened on March 4 at 1:07pm local time.
International reports claim the wannabe speed racers were Belgian mates on holiday in the region and that neither sustained serious injuries in the crash, including the F12 driver who cannot be seen exiting the wreck in the footage.
No damage bills have been released, but in Australia the Ferrari vehicles both have a new price of more than $604,000; the F12 retailed for closer to $700K and still fetches more than half a million dollars in a used-car market where it’s touted as an ‘instant classic’.
Myriad versions of the clip have surfaced online but what’s thought to be the original was posted by Antonio Pio Guerra just a couple of hours after the incident.
