Crashes

This past weekend a race car flipped into the crowd after what started as a relatively innocuous accident.

It’s official. Toyota’s chief test driver, Hiromu Naruse, has been killed in a crash while testing the company’s upcoming 2012 Lexus LFA supercar in Germany. While the exact circumstances of the accident are yet to be determined, Toyota has confirmed that 67-year old Naruse has been killed...

Thanks to a brutish 563 horsepower V-8 engine, go-kart like throttle response and a populace with declining driving skills (thanks mostly in part to the proliferation of safety aids meant to protect us), it was only a matter of time before we would be reporting on the first crashed 2011...

Less than a month after the very first 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia crash took place, another of the stunning beauties has bit the dust and from the look of things the damage appears to be quite severe. The latest crash took place somewhere in Spain and could possibly have happened at a race track...

A bright orange Lamborghini Gallardo has bit the dust on the rainy streets of a Sydney, Australia hotspot over the weekend. A member of FerrariChat.com has posted up images of the aftermath, which resulted after the sorry looking Lambo clipped a taxi and then crashed into another one. The accident...

Another rare supercar has bit the dust; this time ‘round it was a black Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano that ran into a tree in the European country of Slovenia. Unlike typical Ferrari crashes where the cars’ mid-mounted engine positioning can often save their powerplants, the 599’s front engine...

That wasn't supposed to happen.

The demonstration drive ended in the worst way possible.

The crash amazingly resulted in no major injuries.

It’s sad to see any exotic involved in a crash but it’s especially grim when the damaged car is a special edition supercar built in a limited run of only several hundred examples. This latest crash involved an ultra-rare Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV that went awry in Italy...

Tesla has managed to rack up just on 1,000 sales of its Roadster since the all-electric vehicle was first launched back in 2008 and since that time there have been only four crashes that we're aware of--including the crash of a test vehicle before production began. But with more and more Roadsters...

This Audi R8 kebab is an example of what can happen when things go not just wrong, but weird.

The final scenes of the $1 million-dollar-plus supercar are grisly.

The Lamborghini Gallardo patrol car was given as a gift to the Italian State Police

With only 15 examples in the country, and 300 being produced in total, it’s safe to say the Bugatti Veyron is one of the rarest cars on the planet. So it pains us to see this video of one example that ended up in a saltwater lake in Texas. What makes it worse is that the driver of the vehicle...

This incident involved a blue 2008 CCX that was damaged by a dealer in New York who decided to take the customer-owned supercar for a quick spin.

The death of a supercar is never a pretty sight, because they tend to go out as they lived: spectacularly. This Pagani Zonda F coupe is no exception, its tangled body a mess of shattered carbon fiber and melted rubber. Leaving the roadway backwards at what appears to be a high rate of speed, the...

The CEO of Pininfarina, Andrea Pininfarina, was killed early this morning after the motorbike he was riding on collided with a car near the company’s Cambiano design center in Turin, Italy. While details are still scarce, preliminary local police reports claim the car crashed into...

One Aston Martin DBS used for filming in the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, has already ended up at the bottom of an Italian lake, and now a second car has been crashed into a quarry. Unlike the first incident, which was actually an accident caused by poor weather conditions, the...
