A dramatic video has emerged of a rare Ferrari F40 colliding on a highway, highlighting the risks associated with handling high-performance vehicles. The seven-second clip shows the car’s unexpected sideways skid after the driver fails to correct its trajectory.
The incident occurred when the Ferrari driver remained on the throttle as they approached a curve. The instant the video cuts in, the car’s nose hooks sharply to the right. The driver attempts countersteer but is unable to regain control before the vehicle hits the guardrail.
Analysis suggests that the F40 was driven on street tires with decent tread, indicating this may not be due to improper tire choice for the conditions. Instead, it appears the driver lacked experience with high-performance vehicles lacking advanced safety features.
