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.

I think ESP should control that, maybe he turned it off. It is supposed to understeer when braking in a corner but not like that.
It’s not an unfortunate accident, it was an idiot trying to show off in front of a girl and using Need for speed racing lines. Using guard rails for cornering in real life is not recommended.
