Cripes! what happened there ?

Or is it pretty obvious (car clean drive out gone a bit wrong!)

2 x 355, 1 x 360, 1 x 430 and 1 x TR ...thats one hell of an insurance claim! I guess they must have been going at a good lick to cause that much damage?

[RallyRider]

apparently a single bad overtake was to blame according to other sites. Must have been going some for all that to happen though

[70proof]

wander if the cause was that red prius you see behind the 458 at 47s into the clip.... fast convoy meets eco friendly slow moving monster....

Yes a bad overtake can have bad results:

It was on This Morning apparently, they said it was a car they met coming the wrong way up the motorway.

Christ on a bike!

Everywhere else has mentioned other causes though, I'm not sure where This Morning got it from

Anyone else finding the OPs username rather apt for this thread?

You have to laugh at the maths. most reporting 2.5 million worth of damage to 10 cars. Thats £250,000 each! 355's must be worth a hell of a lot more in Japan than the U.K.!

The are. Mind, not sure they're £1/4 mil.

[900T-R]

Any car, anywhere is bound to be worth more than the same car in the UK, mind. To us, it's like treasure island for bargain hunters provided you don't have a problem with RHD...

Damn, a banged up F355 still looks good

It's one of the few cars that does. The L00NEY Gumball 355 crash at 150mph is a classic:

They just showed this on C4. "only £2.5m worth of damage"

Anyone else seen the 'mucky' lookin ladies around the Testarossa? Maybe Miami Vice fans?

That's a 360, tarted up to look like a 430 Scud.

This is such an epic story BBC1 even spent a few minutes on it at the end of the Six O'Clock News last night. Mad.

Agree with whoever said how good the shape of the 355 is. A timeless design, one that somehow manages to look good even when smashed up! Seriously, how closely together must all those cars have been for them all to have crashed like that?
