Within one hour of ownership Ferrari 430 "went airborne and burst into flames" in South Yorkshire on Thursday.

That's an hilarious story, but they made way more than 499 F430's. I think they have their facts confused with another Ferrari car.

Well there is one less of them as this one is most certainly beyond buffin that one out.

Correction - I happened on this story on another website, and CNN stuck a critical detail of this story at the bottom. It was an F430 Scuderia, which was a limited edition car. Faster, lighter, etc. than the regular one.

Certainly seems to fly well and burn quickly too...


Who said driving wasn't exciting?

Wants to brag about all his money- buys Ferrari - Doesn't know how to drive such a machine- crashes it just outside the dealer -laughs and buys another !

Waste of another fine machine. But you can get lessons and have a place to play such as Monticello Motor Club. But I guess that's not his style !

That's why you never turn off traction control on the street. Especially on a mid/rear engine car.

Although this has been going on for decades........back in the day 911 Turbos were notorious for swapping ends.....
