The front of a classic Ferrari F40 met with a race barrier in an expensive crash during a supercar event in the Swiss mountains on Sunday, as part of the Ferrari's 75th anniversary.
Neither driver nor a female spectator near the accident site were hurt as the Ferrari skidded out of control during Switzerland's 2022 Kerenzerbergrennen hill climb race.
The costly fender bender has been put down to 'turbo lag', which is the time between mashing the throttle and feeling the rush of acceleration from a turbocharged engine.
Video of the aftermath of the crash showed limited edition 1990s classic supercar, with similar models going for as much as the £2million, being lifted onto the back of a truck, its front end battered and crumpled.
Another video shows the car sedately cruising up the mountain road and taking a corner at a low speed when as it passes out of sight a cacophony of squealing and screeching tyres preface a loud smash.
It remains to be determined if the car is a write-off, since most of the body was still intact. The bill for any repairs will be substantial even more a wealthy individual, it is thought.
