Watch The Moment This Guy Totalled Someone Else's Ferrari 458
At the time of this unfortunate accident, this now ruined 458 Italia had been loaned to a 26-year-old driver by Colorado supercar tour company Oxotic. It looks like the driver steamed into the bend a little too quickly, then tried to make the corner while braking, with predictable results.
The rental company, which uploaded the video, had the following to say about the state of the Ferrari:
“So the car basically had the entire passenger side damaged. every component. That rear flank is all aluminum and costs $38K alone and it was trashed! I wish I had taken more photos but I was not in the right mindset to do a full photos shoot. It was determined almost immediately that it was a total loss by the body shop and insurance company. Very sad.”
Oxotic has promised to detail the whole debacle in a future vlog, which should make for interesting viewing…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

How much for the engine?
Drove it like a rental
I would buy a salvage car like this dirt cheap to 1. Say I owned a Ferrari 2. Sell the good parts for good cash 3. Keep the parts I lile 4. Take the engine and put it into an old 5 series to create a drift missile
Trail-braking gone wrong
Noooooooooo
how much for the horn [to put on my bicycle]
Hard to believe its not worth repairing. Someone is pulling a scam?
Showing off in front of the girl… Classic…
The driver was using the forza racing line where you brake through the entire corner way past the apex lol
“Unfortunate accident”, nothing unfortunate about it, he was showing off in a car that was beyond his skill level.
