The security camera of a house located in a residential neighborhood in the Italian town of Osimo recorded the brutal accident of two Ferraris that ended up crashing into the wall that surrounded the building. As can be seen in the images, on March 4, the two supercars were driving so fast that both drivers were unable to follow the sharp curve located in front of the house.
The excessive speed meant that they could not control the car in time to take the turn and they continued straight ahead passing over a small slope that served as a ramp to take flight. This explains why they rose from the ground and hit the perimeter structure of the residence a few meters ahead.
Fortunately, despite the severity of the crash, the occupants of the two cars – a red Ferrari 296 GTB Asseto Fiorano and a blue Ferrari F12 Berlinetta – did not suffer significant injuries. The middle-aged drivers were taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries and scratches.
Much more damaged were these very expensive supercars, especially the F12 Berlinetta which, after the impact, began to burn. Curiously, this copy had a Spanish license plate (9746 MDM), although the person driving it was a citizen of Belgian origin. If we check the registration date of the car, we can see that the registration was made on January 25, 2023, that is, just a month and a half ago. In any case, it is surely a re-registration because Ferrari no longer manufactures this model.
The police are investigating the facts to clarify what exactly happened. According to some local media reports, the two Belgian drivers, aged 50 and 54 respectively, were friends and were on vacation near Ancona. Without a doubt, it will be a destination that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Just before reaching the point of the accident there is a sign that recommends limiting the speed to 30 km/h. However, neither of the two motorists, who were in a tailspin or racing, took their foot off the accelerator. And no matter how skilled you are behind the wheel, it is almost impossible to master a vehicle with more than 700 horsepower on a road of these characteristics.
This is a good example of never squeezing performance out of high-performance cars on public roads. It should always be done in a circuit. It is a matter of safety, both for the pilot himself and for the rest of the drivers. Those who want to feel Fittipaldi behind the wheel can participate in the private batches that are usually organized by the circuits. Those tracks are prepared to burn adrenaline without endangering anyone.
