Black Ferrari Crash

Somewhere between Luzern and Zürich a black Ferrari 599 crash into a truck. The 44-year old driver lost control and slipped. The estimated damage is € 190.000, so the car can be regarded as total loss.

Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari’s Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.
