Wrecked #8

This weeks wrecked post consits of a Ferrari 458 Italia that was crashed in China, as you can see from the pictures it is a very, very bad crash and the car is completely written off. The Ferrari had 3 people in when it crashed, the young driver was the son of a prominent Chinese government official, with him in the car were 2 female passengers both sat in the passenger seat, none of them were wearing seatbelts. Unfortunatly the driver of the car was killed on impact and the 2 girls

were sent to hospital with serious injuries, what theire fete is, I don't know, but may the driver Rest In Peace. China has censored this crash and even removed all search engine results for the term 'Ferrari'. You can view this post here and also check out Wrecked Exotics for more images/stories of wrecked cars. Thank you for reading, more posts coming soon! :-)

Spotted for sale #8

This week I have found an incredibly rare car for sale, it's a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series Cabriolet. There are only 40 of these cars in the world, and how many of them have actually lasted this long, I do not know. I'm not really a huge fan of classic cars however I have to admit, this one is beautiful, everything about it is just perfect. I also love the way that classic Ferrari's are engineered by men in workshops rather than scientists in research labs, it gives the cars so much more passion and flare.
I do not own these images.

This particular 250 GT Cabriolet has only had one owner over the last 30 years, the mileage is not specified but I would imagine it's incredibly low, as you can see form the images, this car is in almost perfect condition. The Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet has a tiny 3.0l V12 engine, this one has has been restored in 1991 by KTR Engineering. This Ferrari 250 GT Series Cabriolet is for sale on James List.
Price: £2,264,779.

Wrecked #7

This weeks wrecked post is another slightly unusual one. There's no point in writing a lot about it, the picture explains it all. A Chevrolet Corvette crashed through a shop window, as you can see the 'Vette is well lodged into this post office in Florida. According to the description under the photo it was a 72 year old woman driving the insanely powerful, rear-wheel drive V8 monster when the crash took place. I'm not being ageist but a 72 year old lady shouldn't be driving such a car, when she clearly can't handle it properly. The Corvette isn't the sort of car that you can just expect to be able to drive, it has a V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and the engine is at the front, so the rear wheels don't have much traction. Thank you for reading this post and as usual, the images aren't mine, they are from Wrecked Exotics. View this article and more here.

Spotted for sale #7

This weeks I have spotted a Rolls-Royce Ghost for sale, but not just any Ghost, this one is modified by Fenice Milano, it's called the Diva, so I think you can probably tell how this is going to look. Let me just give you a bit of information on Rolls-Royce before I tell you more about this car. Rolls-Royce was founded by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in Manchester, in 1906. Rolls-Royce has always produced luxury British, hand-built cars (although now the company is


owned by BMW) and this 'Diva' model has nothing British about it, it's all 24kt cold and very 'in your face', just look at it! Personally I think it's hideous, although others may disagree, of course. In my opinion Rolls-Royce should be painted dark Grey, Black, Silver or dark Green as it just keeps the look a bit more classy. Anyway, more on this particular car; it's essentially a modified Rolls-Royce Ghost, it has Pearl White

paint with 24kt gold bonnet, grill and small body-kit. The interior of the car is also covered in Gold with White/Cartier leather covering the seats and dashboard. The rims are 22" and are finished in Pearl White paint with 24kt Gold lips for high performance tires. For more information visit the advert on James List.
Price: £911,295.

This weeks wrecked post is an unusual one, this Porsche 911 got stuck in cement after the driver got too impatient an went to take a shortcut around some traffic cones! This happened in San Francisco, not sure where exactly, I'm just going on the information provided with the photo. As you can see the workmen are trying to push the Porsche out as quickly as possible so it doesn't get stuck and need cutting out! Unfortunately the cement will have to be re-done, however on the plus side, no one was injured, apart from the car ;-). Check out the Wrecked Exotics Home Page for more wrecked cars! The link to this specific article is here.

Spotted for sale #6

This weeks spotted for sale car of the week is a very special one, a Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR. Number 17 of only 25 made; so it is an extremely rare car. This is one of the last of the Le-Mans style hardcore track-yet-road-legal hyper cars from the 1990's, and you have to say, it looks fabulous. I love the way it has such a hardcore track going look, it looks absolutely evil.

The chances of seeing one of these cars is incredibly small, mostly because there are only 25 in the world but also because it is so exclusive and difficult to drive on regular roads, most of these amazing cars will be locked away and only see the light of day when their owners unleash them at concourse events. This car costs as-near-as makes no difference 1 million pounds, and only has 1492 miles on the clock since it was made in 2000, so it is in immaculate condition.

Check out James List to see the advert for this incredible car! Thanks for reading :-)

Wrecked #5

This wrecked post contains more than one car, it contains fourteen cars with a combined value of around £2.5million; eight Ferrari's, a Lamborghini, a Mercedes and two Toyota's. This crash happened on a motorway in Western Japan when one of the lead Ferrari's tried to change lanes, skidded and hit a barrier, causing all of the other cars to hit each other whilst trying to avoid the spinning Ferrari. It's thought that the Ferrari's were heading to a meet in Hiroshima, Japan in the afternoon.

None of the Ferrari's were 'super expensive and ultra rare' examples, there are mostly 360's F355's, F430's, an F430 Scuderia and an F512. As you can see from the video all of the cars are pretty badly beaten up, some of them even beyond repair. Cars like these are more expensive in Japan then most other countries because there aren't many there, so the owners are at a great loss. Fortunately no one was killed but 10 people; 5 men and 5 women were taken to hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises, which was a very lucky escape when you see the severity of the crash. Click here for more information and watch the video for a better view of some badly smashed up cars.

News: Lamborghini Aventador J

As many of you probably already know, over the past few days one of the largest motoring events of the year has been underway, the Geneva Motor Show. This is the car that really stuck out from the crowd for me. It's the Lamborghini Aventador J, basically a one-off roadster version of the Aventador, and the first thing I thought when I looked at it was 'wow, Lamborghini are definitely back!' From the exterior it looks like Audi had no say whatsoever in how the car looked, this is very much a 'pure' Lamborghini, it seems as though they have gone back to their roots with this car, it looks bonkers,

has an enormous V12 and is immensely noisy. It will have the same V12 as the Aventador which means as-near-as makes no difference 700bhp and a sound that can start earthquakes. The car has no roof and barely any windscreen making it only usable in certain weather conditions i.e, when it's sunny. However the traditional 'Lambo doors' are here and they look fantastic, as always. Hopefully the 'normal' roadster version of the Avantador will be coming soon and I really hope it looks something like this!

This weeks 'spotted for sale' car of the week is a Koenigsegg CCXR Limited Edition. I have chosen this car because it's one of the very few cars in the world that can rival the Bugatti Veyron. This Koenigsegg boasts a 5.0L V8 with a supercharger that produces 1018bhp and in a car that weighs just 1280kg it is fast, very fast; it can hit 62mph in just 2.8s and will keep accelerating until it hits a thumping 259mph. Only 6 Koenigsegg CCXR's will ever be made, so it really is a very, very rare car.

Personally, and many will disagree with me on this, I don't think the Koenigsegg is a particularly pretty car, it doesn't have the edginess of a Lamborghini or the beauty of a Ferrari however I think it looks 'pretty cool' as it were. Check out the pictures I have included and visit the website the car is being sold by for more and give your opinion! This particular Koenigsegg CCXR has 0 miles on the clock despite being a 2009 car! So you do get a pretty much brand spanking new car for the money you lay down;

which is a lot, this one is P.O.R, so I assume it's over £1,000,000. Check out the link below to view more pictures and information about this incredible car. This car is being sold by Alain Class Motors.
Price: P.O.R.

Wrecked #4

Sorry for this post being a couple of days late, I didn't have an opportunity to post anything on Friday or Saturday, so here is the wrecked post that should have been on Friday the 2nd of March 2012. So that is that for my small and humble apology for this post being late, enjoy the post and have fun looking at the pictures :-)

This weeks wrecked posts consists of a Ferrari F430 that, as you can see from the pictures has been absolutely destroyed. According to the information posted on Wrecked Exotics, this crash happened when a Greek entrepreneur and passenger crashed into a tree, flipped the car, splitting it in half, then it was up in flames; somehow both people in the car escaped with minor injuries! This crash happened in Athens, Greece. 

Check out Wrecked Exotics for the original post containing the images of this once beautiful car. All the images in this post are property of wreckedexotics.com and I do not claim them to be my own.
