Yorkshire, England — August 2, 2017 — Well, at least he had an hour’s fun. A British driver of a brand new Ferrari was lucky to escape a devastating crash that totalled the quarter-million-dollar car an hour after it left the showroom.
The Ferrari 430 Scuderia—worth nearly $300,000—lost control, went airborne and burst into flames next to a highway in northern England, South Yorkshire, police said on Twitter and Facebook.
“I’ve only just got it, picked it up an hour ago,” the driver told police, who said they detected a sense of “damaged pride” in the statement.
