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.

Whoa, I didn’t think this video would make it to Car Throttle
How much for the wheels buddy?
She nicely told him: be careful…so he was.
Ha was seriously not going that fast.. how can a 300k car under steer like that ? He could have make that turn really easily without braking at all..
Did he totally smashed the brakes or did the wheel locks by themselfs ?
He shifted down, lost traction. Then steered, so he made the wrong choice.
Slow down before a turn
“my subaru can handle those turns all day erry day”
But was the girl still suitably impressed?
I live right down the street from this rental place and see their squad all the time
Is this how Ryan Tuerck got his engine for the GT4586? lol
