Beware, tifosi, what you're about to see is gruesome. The Ferrari 599 GTO in the video below met with a violent end after its owner lost control at the end of a 155-mph straight.

The damage looks to be extensive, and includes the hood, front fenders, a broken windshield, and what appears to be a deformed front crash beam. It might be repairable by the factory, but it's certainly going to be expensive.

On the other hand, a salvage title 599 GTO and an insurance payout (we're assuming the owner wasn't so cheap as to skimp on track-day insurance) opens the door to some interesting possibilities. What would you do with a big check and a wrecked GTO?
