Ferrari F40 Destroyed

This is downright painful to watch. Video of Almost Everything's Wreck of the Day: a Ferrari F40. Created to celebrate the Ferrari company's 40th anniversary and designed to be the world's greatest supercar. Only 1,315 were made from 1987 to 1992. Buyers reportedly paid anywhere from US $400,000 to US $1,600,000 and the cars still trade for that much today. WreckedExotics.com reports that the Ferrari was returning from a car show in Vancouver, Canada when the driver lost control in the rain and hit a pole. The car is valuable enough that it will probably be rebuilt but the video shows that there is a lot of work that will need to be done.

We saw this brilliantly executed turn in a Lamborghini Gallardo first on Yahoo this past weekend and again on WreckedExotics.com today. It has over 12M views on YouTube but it is really too good not to post here too.

Oops! Lotus Elise Epic Fail

Surprising for a car with some of the best braking stats on the planet. Not sure how this Lotus Elise managed to find its way under the tail of this taxi cab. Maybe the cab was backing up. . . quickly.

Thanks to Jalopnik for this and many more great articles.

Jaguar E-Type Wreck in Argentina

E-Type participating in a vintage race was destroyed in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It hit a wall. Sad that this super-car from the 1960's survived this long but I guess it's one of those things where it went out doing what it did best. Thanks to the guys at WreckedExotics.com for letting us know about it.

Massive Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes & . . . Prius Pile-Up

In the space of one or two seconds, 14 cars including 8 Ferraris, a Lamborghini, 3 Mercedes Benzs & a couple of Toyotas were damaged in what is believed to be the most expensive car crash in history. The exotics were traveling in a convoy to a meeting in Hiroshima, Japan. Speeds were estimated at 85-100 mph. The lead Ferrari lost control and the group piled onto each other and "bystander" cars nearby. Damage is estimated at $3.85M.



No need to understand Japanese to get the gist of this news report:

Marussia B2 Supercar

ExoticSpotter.com dropped this little nugget in our lap today. It's the Marussia B2 supercar designed & built in Russia. Some in the cyberworld have said it is "ugly" and "like a toy from Thailand." We couldn't disagree more. These things look cool as &%#*!! We like the tight cockpit bubble, combination of curves & sharp cut off edges and the CART/F1 racing pedigree. A Lamborghini looks tame by comparison. DriveChannel.com reports that power to weight ratios match Lotus and the Ferrari 458 Italia. Financing from Richard Branson/Virgin can't hurt. Add the Marussia to our "need!" list.

Aston Martin Rapide Totaled

It never takes too long for someone to destroy cars like this. The Aston Martin Rapide is one of the fastest and arguably the most beautiful 4-door sedan on the road today. Apparently the traction control really does work--and the button to disable it is one to avoid. Thanks to our buddies at WreckedExotics.com for this nugget.

Here's some pictures Almost Everything Autobody took of a Rapide when we were at Laguna Seca for the American LeMans Race:
