I sand corrected, sounds like an unfortunate case of wrong place wrong moment,

"According to The Straits Times, a tipper truck had collided with a bus that had broken down on the left lane and veered sharply right into the path of the sports car, hitting it on the left side."

I don't understand where their $1.2 million figure came from. They seem to be confusing a P1 with a 650S

130% import duty, 20% port handling fees, 7% GST, the dealer markup then a COE at around $100'000

Singapore is one of the most expensive countries in the world for cars.

eg 458 Italia for $750,000

750k for a 458 is bad enough, but how about 450k for a bog standard 520D...
