looks worse than it was because the only shots are after the fire
the exact thing happened to my mate in his 430 spyder courtesy car, hit a kerb, rolled onto roo, they got out then it burst into flames
heres what was left
funny thing was i painted the bonnet a few days before as someone had keyed it and he didnt want to pay the high excess when the car went back

So say they are so expensive ferraris seem shitty built . I've heard of loads bursting into flames (430s) . Also the amount they need servicing and tuning is ridiculous . Porsche seem to have got it right and found a happy medium

But they didn't die
Cars are designed to crumple to save the occupants.

So it's not really a miracle escape, it probably wasn't terrible when they crashed, it's only going on fire that's made it such a mess.
