We've also seen quite a few examples biting the dust in various cringy crashes, and the list of accidents involving the Italian company's exotic high-rider has just grown to include one more.
Are you a fan of the Ferrari Purosangue? Well, you may want to look away, as this one looks like a write-off to us. Images of it ended up on the World Wide Web recently courtesy of supercar.fails on Instagram, with absolutely zero background as to what happened.
Mind you, we suspect high-speed was involved, along with the driver losing control of the wheel at one point. Of course, they could've also swerved to avoid impact with another vehicle or something else, which caused the blue-blooded crossover to flip and end up on the side of the road.
The accident occurred somewhere in Germany, and this yellow Ferrari Purosangue ended up showing its belly right next to a highway north of Hamburg. Looking to find out more about it, we dug on the World Wide Web and found out that "teleshopping queen" Brigitte Lund-Arnold put this Purosangue on its roof a few weeks ago.
The 84-year-old woman is said to have a whole fleet of Ferraris at her disposal and was reportedly doing 312 kph or 194 mph on the A-23 last month when the high-rider suddenly decided to go tail-happy. The driver blamed the crash on a "technical defect" and, fortunately, walked away. Brigitte Lund-Arnold is apparently a skilled driver and will likely keep enjoying other Ferraris at high speeds.
Supposedly worth €650,000, which comes out to almost $700,000 at the current exchange rates, the yellow Ferrari Purosangue is probably a write-off, as specified above. The images shared by the quoted Instagram account show it sitting on its roof with damage to the pillars and other components. Thus, if a yellow Purosangue ends up on sale for cheap in the coming weeks/months in other parts of the world, we'd raise an eyebrow and move on to the next one.
In production since 2023, the Ferrari Purosangue shares many nuts and bolts with the Roma and packs a 715 horsepower (725 ps/533 kW) and 528 pound-feet (716 Nm) of torque V12. The naturally aspirated engine enables a top speed of 217 miles per hour (350 kph). The Purosangue zips from zero to sixty-two mph (100 kph) in just 3.3 seconds, which makes it faster than some previous-gen supercars, including the mighty Enzo. The MSRP stands at just below the $430,000 in the United States of America.
