The 24-year-old’s sports car has beaten a Ferrari F40 worth 3 million euros

A story in the ruins: Last Sunday morning came the end of a crash for one of the most famous sports cars ever made. In the Engelberg tunnel on the A81 road between Heilbronn and Stuttgart, the 24-year-old lost control of the red monster with 478 hp under the hood for unknown reasons. The… Super sports car first hit the left side and then the right tunnel wall, like Bild.de information.

The driver was an employee of luxury car dealer Mechatronik. He had just recently put the F40 up for sale online – with an eye-watering three million euro price tag. The car was heading to “Motorworld” in Böblingen, about 18 km away, where the red paint on the dealer’s stand was supposed to shine in the sun and attract onlookers.

Only 1,315 examples of the car were built – it is considered the last super sports car from the Enzo Ferrari racing team, in which the founder himself worked. The copy cost 8.3 million Luxembourg francs when it was launched on the market in 1987 – that’s about 200,000 euros. The car involved in the accident also only had 21,000 kilometers on the clock, so it was new. So the spokesperson for Mechatronics hoped bild.de: “Mainly it is the destruction of the body work.”
