Bad news, 458 Italia fans. Anyone live near this?

[Leadfoot[YT]]

So, it's another wrecked Italia. But this one wasn't burned; it was, well, smashed into a truck. The roof was annihilated, the car destroyed. Worse yet, it was mere hours old. But oh, to be able to use that engine in something else... :whistle:

 

There was a video, but it's gone. Here's some pics, via GT Spirit

 

 

 

 

I'm sure we all wish the driver the best. The extend of his injuries are unknown. :(

Are you sure the driver smashed it into the truck? Looks like the truck driver was a bit jelly and drove into it! :eek:

 

It looks like a damaged 458 Spyder. :hmmm:

Looks like the 458 did do the colliding. :(

I can't watch this.. it hurts.. :(

[Ken]

Can I have the wheels and the steering wheel as a souvenir?

 

EDIT: And the seats. :drool:

Luck o the Irish!

 

At least it couldn't catch fire in the Irish weather. Man's lucky to be alive though, no jokes. Good luck for the recovery.

Give me the engine Please

[eXile]

The brake discs are actually untouched... pads too.. you can sell that and get yourself a used M3 pretty much haha

[AZ-1]

Dash part of the driver seems to be untouched, well the driver might suffer minor injuries,

 

as everyone is saying here good luck to the drivers recovery. As for the Italia... :hmmm: its just hours

 

old, might as well make money on that! A pair of 458 tail lights can be used as lamps in houses:lol:

 

well almost the untouched parts are salvageable!

 

Best part is the ENGINE!!:odance:

[TDUFREAK500]

and the seats can be used as Lounge Chairs :D

[AZ-1]

Too cool and relaxing if you put it in as lounge, but yeah! Put in a rig with its G25/7s steering wheel replaced and voila!! Gaming rig 458 Italia :twisted:

[Pherelas]

No airbags?

[Prophecy]

Oh man, I want that steering wheel... Would somehow figure out a way to replace the (dont get me wrong, its awesome in itself) driving force gt wheel XD

[Ozzmcom]

weeell... if it was a 250 gt swb or some sort I'd be upset, these cars get destroyed in every lemans race

[Mb]

I'll have the dash, steering wheel etc.

Best sim cockpit evurrrrrrrrr.
