@Baube: well, these incidents are not really uncommon. Actually a plenty of high-end cars were crashed, because the drivers cannot handle them.

I just have googled "Ferrari Unfall" and these were only the first links. If you would do the same with "Lamborghini" or others, you will get similar results.


When I was a young trainee in my company -an insurance, as I already told- one of our internal teachers told us, that in 1989 there were seven Ferrari F40 registrated in Germany. Accidentally three of them were fully insured at my company - and two of these three F40 were totaled withing a few weeks by their overchallenged drivers...
This was very very expensive and has provoked the decision of our management, not to insure such high-end-premium cars any more.
