A little rain and a driving mistake were enough to damage one of the rarest supercars on the planet.
The recording is only seven seconds long, but it’s enough to show the speed of the incident. At first, everything seems under control.
In the next second, the car is already off the road. The F40 enters the highway in a straight line, but in a fraction of a second, it loses control and slides violently. The reason? Oversteer on takeoff.
The sound of the engine reveals what happened. The driver still has his foot on the accelerator when he abruptly cuts the power.
The nose of the car responds immediately, turning sharply to the right. The driver tries to correct with a quick counter-steer, but the space is short. The Ferrari is already sliding before he can regain control.
Released photos show that the F40 was equipped with street tires in seemingly reasonable condition, indicating that it wasn’t a case of inadequate equipment.
The problem, it seems, was a combination of inexperience and the feisty nature of a thirty-year-old supercar with a powerful engine and rear-wheel drive, without modern electronic aids.
Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40, launched in 1987 to celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary, remains one of the most revered models in automotive history. Its 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine delivers 478 horsepower, capable of taking the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
Without traction control or modern assists, driving an F40 requires constant skill and respect.
In the case of this accident, light rain was enough to turn a quiet drive into an expensive lesson.
The lack of reaction time, combined with raw power and the lightness of the chassis, resulted in damage that will likely take time and money to repair. Despite this, the passion for classic supercars remains strong, and the F40 continues to be a living legend.
